Yeah, seems back to normal now. Thanks.

Edit: Spoke too soon. Broken again.

Came back. but broken again.... Seems international link is unstable.

Same here. Weird because downloads are fine, but browsing is really slow

Thanks for checking!

We're pushing through DNS updates now to alleviate this.

I can't even stream 128Kbps audio on RadioTunes. Rather annoying.

 

[Dianysis]

Meh
Gatvol!
This isn't even peak period.

Hi!

We're seeing an improvement in international throughput, would you mind testing again quickly.

Wow.. That is definitely way off of what you should be getting! Latency seems okay, but that speed is horrible.

Can you quickly send me a PM with your account details please.

Thanks. Audio and Youtube streaming is working fine.

Speed is up a bit, but the latency could most assuredly be better. Thanks for the update.

AfriGenie, p2p seems fine. YouTube buffering worse than a chameleon deciding to take its next step.
So ya......

Shuffling what between the provinces?

bandwidth

bandwidth

Each region has it's own IPC, linked to that region. That capacity and bandwidth cannot be moved to a different region.

I think he means that the lack of bandwidth is happening in a lot of places.

Ah... The South does seem to be having quite a few issues more than the East and North, and our Team is working hard to make sure the South improves.

The issue this morning though - there was a noticeable dip in international throughput - did appear to affect all regions, and not just the South.

You have a PM inbound.

Latency to Hetzner, WebAfrica VS Afrihost, this is not so great...

Those are definitely the correct settings... I've asked our Team to check on the News Service itself to make sure everything is running as it should.

hi there -- any update on the NNTP server?

Have been trying news.afrihost.com:119 as well as news.afrihost.co.za:119 - unable to connect.

Can anyone verify what the details are?

thanks!
