Thank you. Please do the NSlookup tests but specify the Afrihost DNS server.

nslookup afrihost.com 169.1.1.1 or
nslookup afrihost.com 169.1.1.2

You may also change the afrihost website to the sites that you cannot access.

Sorry, Im not sure what you are asking me. I basically pasted both in CMD and got the following response.
Server: lacelvia.net.afrihost.co.za
Address: 169.1.1.1


Server: zestal.net.afrihost.co.za
Address: 169.1.1.2

I was asking if the DNS is set manually on your router.
 
There's definitely issues.

Past 2 hours been getting random disconnections, local and international sites and game servers disconnecting randomly. Tried swapping from google DNS back to automatic DNS and same thing.

Speed tests also fluctuating.

No worries :)
No, I never use ISP DNS.

And thus, you wont ever be redirected to the best local-CDNs and cache clusters maintained by the ISP. So, dont moan when your downloads/updates are slow, Steam being the top of mind for me.

There is even a major privacy argument supporting not using ISP DNS, but its always a trade off unfortunately.

#PRM-731-86326 is my ticket number.
I've done the general troubleshooting as per the tech.

Nothing resolved. Sites will randomly state "could not be reached" then pop back in a few seconds later.
Speed tests are all over the place, 250mb > 350mb > 450mb etc.

That's what they say and yet I never have youtube issues when everyone else is bitching.
