    New Webafrica Network Migration

    WebAfrica to "fastest server": WebAfrica to Vox Cape Town: WebAfrica to Vox London: Axxess to Vox London: (I'm using Vox servers as that's what the WebAfrica support person asked me to measure against when reporting to them) (from a WebAfrica support person) LOL wut no kidding...

    And my "100meg" fiber international throughput's just gone down the toilet again:

    Not really sure why "their" is underlined... maybe I'm nitpicking but these seem very much to have been "your" issues, not ours. I didn't vote for, or opt-in to, the network change - it was just forced upon me with no option even to cancel my account in time. I've paid for a full month service...

    Things have been okay since their fix, I even considered cancelling my cancellation, and today: (on 100meg) I know, maybe I should reboot my router...

    I'm now getting around 70meg to London (same SpeedTest server I'd done most of my testing against) - so things have definitely improved for me. WebAfrica Speedtest: Axxess Speedtest: Now to find an ISP that doesn't use LiquidTelecom so I can get sub 195ms pings in Overwatch like I used to...

    Just did that and got exactly the same speeds as my adsl account - traceroute also shows "ftth.web.africa" servers being used :/

    I was happy I managed to get my cancellation effective end of this month rather than next, but wtf should I pay for this month of super slow internet - I may as well have my account & line cancelled immediately if it's this unusable. Monday's battle.

    Yup, my (Cape Town) single thread speedtest to London, on 100meg, this morning:

    New Webafrica Network Migration

    I considered that but I can't figure out how... on https://www.webafrica.co.za/adsl/ the DSL section only gives me a "Check Availability" button which jumps to the top of the page. Clicking that (and entering my address) only lists Fiber and LTE options I can actually pick to order. I was on a...

    Right, so let's focus on "releases.ubuntu.com" because there's a huge difference there between the two providers: 39642 BYTES vs 9583k... I left this running for several minutes with no speed improvement on WebAfrica. The IP was off by a digit at the end (so same provider just different mirror...

    New Webafrica Network Migration

    Sent to WebAfrica earlier: * Afrihost vs WebAfrica traceroutes (both stable and expected ping times) attached * downloading Ubuntu from various mirrors (note the lack of of a "k" or "M" for "releases.ubuntu.com"... so that speeds in BYTES) - admittedly only for 10 seconds then killed the...

    Yup, just used an AfriHost 1gb (trial) ADSL account (I'm with OpenServe) - it just works :p Not sure all the specifics behind it, but it's just another PPPoE connection

    New Webafrica Network Migration

    I was moved over on the 28th. I've had terrible international performance since, eg speedtest to the same international server (local seems fine) WebAfrica: https://www.speedtest.net/result/8386230623 (0.41meg) Afrihost: https://www.speedtest.net/result/8386248622 (66meg) Now I'm fighting with...
