Afriguy, is there anything that I need to do on my side? Speedtest are now on 5mbps down and 0.3mbps up :/
Or must my IP just change?
Please PM me your DSL username, I'll need to check this from my end.

So now can the cat be let out of the bag?
Can we get all the details of the new network?

Haha, what would you like to know?
It is a POC, so improvements will obviously be coming thick and fast! We've setup the basics though.
Once we've got the submission stuff pushed out live you'll need to submit that feedback there, along with some MyBB speedtests
With that info, our network guys look at what we don't need to touch and what needs a bit of tinkering.
Remember, you're in the East, so you're currently doing a bit more routing to the North and back for now. Not sure if that extra bit of latency will affect your streaming on higher qualities.

Okay thanks for that but I can stream at 1080p with my VOX account, shouldn't the same hold true for both accounts then?

Ok, I am curious about the following.
1) Is this Afrihost's very own IPC or leased through a 3rd party?
2) Is Afrihost using Neotel on AfriGreen for all traffic or just local peering?
Don't have Vox have a POP in the East though?
At the moment, you're routing via the North causing more latency. Did you check the FAQ attached to the mail?
Neotel is one of the many providers involved in the POC.
I'm not 100% sure around local peering just yet.
Okay cool thanks...My understanding from FAQ's attached is that this will eventually be sorted out....
"We will of course have multiple geographic IPC locations once we finalise our network. "
It's not really an issue, a POP needs to be setup in the region.
This is the bit I'm referring to:
Should I expect issues on the proof-of-concept network? said:

So what type of time frame will the trail run for?
That I'm not sure about. I think Gian said around 2 weeks? I stand to be corrected though.
We want to consume all the feedback that's available, tweak where we need to and leave what's running well. Once you guys are happy with the way things are running and we're happy with the way things look we'll hit the big green button to make things permanent.

"Your old DSL account details will be locked once you've connected with your new account."
Once you switch over to the new account your old details will be locked.
Did you get a mail with the details?
