I still have ping issues, which never gone back to normal(before end of January), my ping on afrihost business or capped is the same more or less. I am going to switch to Webafrica, much better ping.
 
Hi Afripeeps.

Just wanted to say that streaming for me over the weekend was quite poor there were times in the day when twitch couldn't even stream on low without buffering every 5 seconds and that's with just one user connected. :(

Also when I disable business priority in ClientZone i get 20-40% packet loss on my mumble server but with it active it get less than 1% of lost packets.

Did you have this sorted out previously though?

No, it was never sorted, and I'm pretty sure it is a symptom of whatever was causing my streaming to buffer every few minutes or seconds, depending on its mood.

Glad to say neither the all-over-the-place ping nor the streaming buffering is an issue anymore on another ISP.

Wow, okay that seems to be a slightly schizophrenic account.

I see that I still have your ADSL account details, I've asked our Team to look into this ASAP, I may need some additional test results, but if I do, I will PM you with the particulars.

Why not get a TS server, much better quality.

Thanks AfriGenie really appreciate it, Twitch is really struggling on low at the moment. Quite sad.

Edit: WebAfrica no issues with Twitch on medium :(

Definitely looks poor. Ping is also higher than we'd like, we usually expect sub 200ms for UK, between 160-180ms, so 211 is significantly higher, though would still be OK for gaming or streaming.

Can you tell me what it's like now? My tests currently seem pretty decent.

We've logged this with the guys working on traffic management to investigate. We definitely want your Twitch experience to be as good as it can be :(
