Yes, I could watch the rugby, cricket etc with very few issues. With AH DNS, its a real mess.

I've used Google DNS for about 8 months now, but it did not enhance or degrade my streaming experience much, if at all, so I doubt this is where the problem is.
 
there was no throughput but it came back up now
this morning at 6 am there was no authentication but after a while it started working

Theoretically yes, it should make no difference.

I am wondering however if using the OpenDNS does not mean that he gets directed to a different Streaming Server.

Would you mind running a traceroute to the streaming service using the two different DNS options, I really want to see where things go off with the Afrihost DNS.

I was streaming via Supersport. I am not in the office today, but I asked my secretary to do a speed test and international seems to be slow again, and anything on youtube seems to be buffering even on the lowest quality. It still seems like the AH network is a mess and useless during office hours. I have send so many tests and no one ever gets back to me, so I don't see the point anymore. its delaying tactics, and a waste of my time. Fix the network, its been a mess for far too long. My loyalty and frustration is really being tested.

I can attest that I had a similar experience back when I was with Telkom. Telkom and Google's DNS would route things in a similar manner, but Google's DNS took a different path for some services (like Youtube and Gmail). Switching to OpenDNS was all that I could do to improve connectivity during those months when it went tits-up. Now that I'm using UnoDNS I generally have no problems, so I haven't had to switch from that in a long time.

How are your download and streaming speeds like at the moment?
 
Ok, so I have posted, sent a mail to customer care and PMd with some results ....

Is anyone going to look at my problem, or is this my silent treatment day?

I am sorry if I have upset anyone - but I do have an issue that needs to be looked at.
Last week we were sure it was Telkom. It is not.

A simple acknowledgement that you have recieved my message at this point would even do ......

My apologies, I definitely did receive your PM, I am just working through all of the results that I have received so far, and getting it to the appropriate people. I should get to your results in the next few minutes.

Currently, **** is working so well I'm wondering if you're using whips to spank my bits along. I have no complaints with how things are going today. Downloading Windows Technical Preview from Microsoft at 210KB/s on my 2Mb line. Whatever you do, don't let anyone press the big red button today.
