I'd like to check this in a ticket though, it makes escalating things a whole stack easier.

I'm sure it's all in that one. Also been posting multiple traceroutes here for nearly a month showing latency on the 3rd hop. Should it not have been raised from your reps in the forum?

And another, take note of the response from support on that one.
 
On a side note, since eskom started stage 2 load shedding at 5pm, my speeds improved quite a bit. Instead of 0.6 - 1.3 mbps can get 2.3 - 2.6 mbps. This occurs quite often.
No load shedding in my area at all at the moment.
 
And another that went cold...

Good Evening David,

I do apologise for the delayed reply.

I have escalated your query to our day team and the supervisors on shift during this time. They will contact you during the day with regards to the issue at hand.

If there are any problems or you have any queries please let us know.

Have a great day and please let me know if I can help with anything else!

Warm regards

Pure Internet Joy!

That supervisor must be a busy man, still waiting for his call from 15th April...

I see this one is from a while back and doesn't have updated feedback from you.
Regardless, I'll escalate the ticket and get our Critical Care team to give you a buzz tomorrow to discuss a way forward.

Doesn't have updated feedback from me because another ticket was opened along with all the traceroutes posted here.

Aargh
Internets crawling now on Afrihost... Skype, unusable, international throughput plummeting...
The situation down South has been abysmal with the typical "Oh dear... let's check that for you... radio silence".
I heard of a problem with MTN's radius server. Someone from up North was informed of that.
Here's the situation... AGAIN :(
Come on Afrihost. Get this **** sorted out. I'm losing my patience. I need to get what I pay for - a stable performant service else please REFUND or ROLLOVER. This whole thing is just getting old.

I feel you pain, I have the exact same problem! Critical Care is absolutely unless, almost 6 months and counting....
 
I feel you pain, I have the exact same problem! Critical Care is absolutely unless, almost 6 months and counting....

In other news MTN are saying the Gallows Hill was subjected to a DDS attack.

It isn't an attack it is the Afrihost users performing all the useless trace routes that get requested, just to keep file 13 full, and delay having to actually do anything to solve the problem like admit responsibility or buy more IPC.

Have a great day and please let me know if I can help with anything else!
