Its very intermittent. It will run fine for about an hour or two then just comes to a screeching halt.

It lasts for about 15 minutes then becomes normal again.

During this time notnign works. Cant browse, remote desktop ftp etc.
I have even tried the above on ip address and that doest work either.... so doesnt seem to be dns related.
 
Dont know if this helps but when this happens i am also unable to access our servers hosted with afrihost on an alternate connection. Seems like the problem is bigger than just DSL

I think it's best you have this info passed onto our Critical Care team. I'd like to follow up on where the query is in terms of progress, but I'll need you to PM me a ref#.
 
Youtube for me has taken a turn for the worst, can't stream 720p videos, just keeps buffering....will PM you my details Afriguy but I am really getting tired of this shoddy service you guys are dishing out.....

EDIT - EVERYTHING is slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot get an good throughput while doing streaming, but Speed Tests are fine. It looks like it's limited to 1Mbps.

Not going to bother with logging a call, because they don't listen to the feedback in the tickets. Also last time stabilized my line for no reason. Took my hours to realize that support messed it up further.

Sorry about this :(
What area are you in?

We have seen reports in and around CPT, seems to be Telkom related - the details are still a bit sketchy at the moment though. It was reported on MyBB earlier today/ last night.

Yes I've heard about the issues. Just strange that the Telkom account itself is fine, but Afrihost not. Both should suffer in theory?
 
In case anyone is not following us on Facebook or Twitter (which is terrible) we launched this site yesterday:

http://answers.afrihost.com

This is an awesome way to ask questions that you need answers to, and hopefully the answers can help clients in a similar position or inform them for the future.

We're also giving away prizes for answers that get the most votes and for the most active participants on the site. Might be interesting to a few technically minded people here on MyBB (who often teach us a thing or two about IT and networking).

Enjoy! :)
 
I am disappointed with the functioning of my ADSL account, I can either stream at 144p or 480p, everything else just continuously buffers.....

Pretty weird. I'm assuming you mean YouTube here. Are you getting good general throughput on your account? Is latency normal on traceroutes?
