    What cost? Other than up skilling/extra headache of management, what cost?

    Meili Logistics accused of inflating customs duties on AliExpress, Temu, and Shein

    I ordered 14 total electronic parts for a project from a single store (I made sure to use the same store.) 4x are the same item, and another 5x of another item. The 4x part was split into 2 packages, and the 5x item was split into 3 packages. FROM THE SAME STUPID STORE. Now, Melli want to...

    Great to see some innovation in this space locally, not the same providers with the same old rust

    It sounds like you should evaluate Oracle Clouds free-for-mahala-whatwhat. Free VPS. There is a thread about it in this subforum.

    Afrihost - poor latency / packet loss in Cape Town

    The red stuff at the last hop isn't exciting. Are you on wifi? I notice the ping to 192.168.1.1 (your router) has an average ping of 5ms, lightly indicating a Wi-Fi network. It shouldn't be that big of a deal, but always best to check it out with a cable connected instead. Otherwise...

    Seems large scale. Wonder when it will be deemed newsworthy, unless negative press about AH is impossible.

    packet loss on all routes out of the country? 100-127-1-42.ip.ahisp.co.za & hu-0-0-0-14.lza-p2-cpt.liquidtelecom.net

    Damn no rep reply since May 12? Rough. Are you looking at hops on-route? Those don't count, as routers generally deprioritize ICMP packets along a route. If you have loss to your destination, then that's an issue. The hops you highlight dont matter.

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    Like? Sure some ISPs don't manage them well, and their engineers sniff it to spy on you, but otherwise, it'll best direct you to CDNs etc that they can inject and control, which could give you a better experience.

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    You can load https://store.steampowered.com/ in an incognito browser session to side-step cache. Not to give them an out, but I have the issue on a non-Afrihost connection right now, in CPT. By issue, I mean it takes a few seconds for the page to load. Oh the humanity! Browser tools show it...
