Afrihost Capped ADSL Feedback (MTN) - New beginning

[HermanTheGerman]

Nope, wotz dat AfriGreen stuff? I just want a stable (and fast if possible) connection so I won't work for an hour only to have everything ruined by a fokked connection. Right now I can't even publish anything on my own blog, is that DNS? I'm using the Googly DNS thingies, 8.8.8.8. and 4.4.4.4. That usually works great.

Can you please send me a PM with your Afrihost ADSL username, and I'll generate you a set of AfriGreen details.

No connectivity in Cape Town CBD at the moment, anyone else?

That's almost like saying "Let me know if you don't get this message"
But mine is fine here in Hout Bay

Ugh, for the past 3 weeks having account problems, Im 1000% sure because i tried a different ISP trial account and its perfect. Basically browsing , download is perfect, but online gaming its like im getting packetloss or something, everything freezez for like 2 seconds and continues.

Hey there Belligerence. Thanks for taking the time to copy in your results. I've had a look at it and it's a little hard to compare the different results. I can see your super high latency coming in at hop 3 on Afrihost when you trace to spaceacre.co.za but I don't see the same test being done on your WA account. Also don't see a pingtest done on Afrihost.

Further, even though you mentioned Afrigreen, you didn't post any test results on the new network.

I'd love to help you here, but I think we'd just need a bit of standardized testing comparing all three networks fairly and then drawing conclusions. If it's a bit of a pain, feel free to send me a PM and we can do some in depth troubleshooting.

 

[AfriFella]

Everything has just been super slow since Thursday. Going to test some other ISPs today.

Interesting... How is your connection testing today? Further, have you signed up for an Afrigreen account yet? How does it compare?

That certainly doesn't look good. Do you have an AfriGreen account that you can try out?

Rebooted router, appears to have resolved.

Allowing the guinea pigs to test Afrigreen, will jump ship at a later stage, but thanks

Telkom seems to have a huge outage in my area of +-50km radius. Seems DNS related cos I can browse some sites while others refuse to load. Thank god Afrihost still works.

That's interesting! Which sites are you having trouble with?

So have a couple days left till my Web Africa main account resets for Septemeber, thought I would try my free Afrihost account again for a couple days.

Been 3/4 months and I see Afrihost still has not sorted their **** out, running at 5% packet loss.
