Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

[MakoPC]

Best MyBB ISP Afrihost,

1) Looking to upgrade my Afrihost/Axxess FTTH fibre by VUMA to symmetrical 1000Mbps/1000Mbps but is unavailable?

2) The odd-one-out package is the 1000/250Mbps asymmetrical line with 1:4 DL/UL ratio. All the others have at least 1:2 ratios.

This is reminiscence of the 2000's ADSL heydays and first fibre lines with ratios of 1:20. Theres plenty of research that shows a minimum of 1:2 best for TCP/IP performance. Otherwise, the limited slow upload speed "chokes" the much faster download bandwidth.

Issues with Fibre in Monument Park, Pretoria. ESP users say issue with Openserve?

Are there any issues at the moment? Currently both discord and notion will not log in. Multiple devices but it works fine when I switch to a different network.

No issues on Vumatel.
Was it working fine before?

You wont believe me but it spontaneously came right.
Last night and this morning I could reach notion and discord home page but it would get stuck on login. Fixed now.
Thanks

Back online now. I restarted ONT and router. Not sure if that fixed it.

Hi all,

Apologies for the Vumatel Cape Town outage last night. The issue has been resolved, and services have been restored.

If you're still experiencing any issues, please send me a DM with your account details, and I'll look into it.

Good morning @Afrigirl. I've been battling with slow speeds for the past 2 days now. I created a ticket: ECM-613-72683



Thank you

Thank you

Hi.

There is an Openserve outage affecting your service.

Hi.

There is an Openserve outage affecting your service.

I appreciate that thanks. I did search for it first, but I didn't see anything related

 

[Afrigirl]

The notice page has been updated. We do not receive notices from Openserve; we only see the outage when searching for a service linked to it.
