The site is loading from my home ADSL connection... :confused:

Are you able to run a traceroute to the remote.bittorrent.com?

The test account performance dropped out? Or your Business Uncapped account?

My traceroute looks identical, but it is resolving on both my FireFox and Chrome browsers.

Can you please check which DNS Servers your modem is set to use at the moment.
 
the test account dipped a bit but came up again but it is a 100% improvement over our business account

Thanks! I've asked our Team to check why there is such a big gulf between the two, the performance should be close to identical. Can you please continue to use the Test account for the next hour to make sure the connection is consistent.
 
also there is no packet loss on the test account
packet loss is now 3-7% after testing again

What's up with Afrihost now?

Can't browse certain sites. Twitter slow and images don't load. Can't even access speedtest website.

I'm seeing a similar issue on our office connection, some local sites are fine, but others are not at all. I'm investigating from my side now.
 
HLV-612-49323 that was my ticket number at 7:54 this morning I have no Internet, you also don't seem to have any support on duty, I've received nothing other than the usual automated response, I have a business account, I can't run a business, go figure, been running with no issues for 2 weeks, I actually have very few words to explain how frustrating this is, I want a detailed explanation how business uncapped is a priority service or I will be cancelling.
 
Cool, thanks.

Okay, we had to make a few changes to our Office connection to mitigate a DDoS attack, so this should definitely not be affecting our ADSL users.

Are you able to ping or run a traceroute to those sites that you cannot access?

Hi!

Your Local Exchange has been quite a bit problematic of late - I had three Clients this morning with similar issues also on Clareinch 8 - and I managed to get them online again with a Port Recreate. I've just done so on your ADSL line, can you please restart your modem and advise of any change.

This is what I get when I do traceroute to speedtest.net
