High Ping and packet loss Vox ISp/ SADV infrastructre

Please can anyone see what is going on with Vox as ISP and SADV as infrastructure provider. 2 Months back i had same issue as what i have that started week ago, from 4pm to 10pm i have Packet loss and my pings are all over the place. Also cannot watch any Twtich/tv channels without i buffering and i am on a 50mb/s line, This has been going on for weeks with me calling Vox and sending them Proof on traceroutes and Pings test. Apparently There was maintenance done on Sadv last weesk ???? How can it be worse ?? and how can it take over a week and still no feedback ??? this is utterly disapointing

Hi Donovan, our links are not causing that much packet loss, you will still need VOX to investigate what is happening with your line. We are just not happy with the overall experience on our links and that is why we have opted for the change. The equipment was ordered a few weeks ago and is being delivered next week, so we will install as soon as possible after the arrival.

Hi Donovan, there is no congestion on the link and our packet loss has been reduced substantially. We will be offering a cross over in Bloemfontein from the new year for ISPs that still seem to have issues on their lines but we have seen that almost all customers are now receiving full speeds and no connectivity issues.
