We don't seem to be having any similar issues in the East at the moment, would you be able to post a speedtest as well as a Traceroute to Afrihost.com and possibly the H1Z1 server? That will help a lot in being able to figure out where your issue is starting.

Thanks!

I see the server is in Europe, with the latency hovering around 200ms your connection to the game should be okay.

When your experience in H1Z1 starts tanking, do you see increases in latency or packet loss?
 
That international speedtest definitely does look off. The weekend's issue was largely affecting local throughput. Could you please run a traceroute to Google.com, I just want to make sure your traffic isn't being routed incorrectly.

Here ye goo...

Thanks for the update, it looks like the DNS for Google.com is being routed to the local CDN for the back-up account, it doesn't appear to be routed internationally.

I'll keep you updated on any changes that our upstream provider makes.
 
Thanks!

I see the server is in Europe, with the latency hovering around 200ms your connection to the game should be okay.

When your experience in H1Z1 starts tanking, do you see increases in latency or packet loss?

I would have to say packet loss, is looks like I am teleporting all over the place to my friends, it also takes forever to do things ie lag.
 
Is this still not enough proof!!

I've just sent you a PM with test ADSL account details, would you mind quickly testing your gaming on that account and checking if there is any difference.

I'm playing with my WebAfrica account, it is running fine. I'll try your account a bit later.
 
Can you please send me a PM with the exact CS:GO Server that you are connecting to, as well as the Mumble Server, our Critical Care team would like to test those now to see if they can get the same performance.

I changed back to my afrihost account and the loss is gone. If you still want the ip and name of the servers let me know. I bet it will happen again later.

I just reconnected my account to test if the same would happen on my side. Went from 10% loss to 0. Very weird.
