Hey afrihost. Having issues again today with youtube. 20 meg VDSL business uncapped, and extremely bad buffering on certain videos. Using 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 as DNS.
Those could be alternative Cache Servers, is there any difference in performance between the two accounts?
BTW, youtube is still buffering like crazy. Probably due to me NOT watching a typical cached video. What are you guys doing to solve this?
Latency is climbing again, and everything is dog slow!!!!!!!!!!![]()
Same here man, youtube now auto detects to 144p, that's how bad the service from Afrihost is today....
Come on guys, sort this out....
Crap speeds, and now we have stage 2 load shedding, does not get any better than this
You will get the same response "Our experts are looking into this" odd thing is it never improves, and then when we get the speed we pay for a few times a month, we have to appear grateful.
We're seeing a significant increase in latency in the East and South, our Team is investigating the cause now.
I'm pretty sure this will be affecting your streaming as well.
