Please avoid cross posting between threads, it makes tracking the conversation really hard.
I've replied to your thread on the Business thread.
You guys share an exchange at the other side of the mountain?! That makes no sense to me, haha!
Anyway, not the best looking results.
Have you tried switching DNS servers to see if that helps with sites not loading?
I think Hout Bay is seen as a Sub Exchange from Wynburg, all out techs are based there and when it goes down, fortunately a rare occurrence, it takes us down with it
we have 790-791 number range you are 797 ...What DNS do you suggest, I think I am on the Afrihost DNS at the moment.

Ah I see, would love to know how those cables run. I'm a 761 number.
Give Google's DNS servers a shot:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

Here is the international test
The test to afrihost server was great.
It looks like international is farked.

Can't spot any general issues around International in the North, are your local tests OK?
Really sorry about that
We are seeing higher than normal latency on the network. Just a reminder that improvements are on the way!
Haha, good luck getting an answer. Before the next ice age is my guess.
I can't share an ETA at this stage. But soon!
Yeah tried to play some counterstrike last night. pinged 170. nice one. my 56k setup back in 1999 pinged 150. This is just retarded. Diablo 3 pings 450. Also unplayable. Ive been plagued by high latency the last couple of months every evening when the congestion on afrihost network increases. I'm too lazy to change ISP so I just laughed it off but it's great that you guys finally admit your network is F**KED. Now I can drop afrihost and move on to another ISP. Cheers.
It's not completely broken, however the experience isn't where it should be. It's definitely something that's being worked on though

But its been months correct? Hugely variable latency entirely dependent on congestion. How is that acceptable
It's not great, I know - and we've been the first to admit that
Well I wished you admitted it sooner, as your network status indicator has been "green" for the most time that I have been having severe issues.
To be fair, it has been a while that we've posted here that we're not happy with the way things are running.
