/phew

Awesome sauce :D
 
Afrihost has been really bad these past few days. If its not high ping then its packet loss. I cant even play a round of battlefield..Tried again to play now and its terrible. Tried Webafrica and works perfectly..

Really sorry for letting you down here :( We've been working hard at sorting this out, and look to be making some good inroads. Some changes/ tweaks got pushed out last night and early this morning. Please keep testing.
 
Cape Town falling apart again:

That is a 10Mbs line
Some overseas sites not opening at all others are lagging badly

What is up with your hosting.....
quintus.aserv.co.za is down for three straight days now.

What is the process to get AF to move my account to a less strained and working server ?

Sorry for posting here, but there is no hosting support thread.

Greetings Thor!
Shouldn't be any issues on the box, monitoring is looking healthy. Drop me a PM with your site and I can check things out for you.

Cool I will send you a pm shortly.

Actually well this is the response I got : " We are facing a temporary load issue in the server. "


The issue is I have, this happens on random intervals.

It's the muscletalk.co.za site, problem is this site is the only one on that quintus server my other sites all work very deliciously, but this quintus server was causing k@k from the start over a year ago.

So I would much rather just prefer AF move me to a less hogged server.
 
That latency on local is really concerning :( Have you been able to run any traceroutes to see where it's spiking up?

Hard to tell, but looks like the latency is being introduced at the exchange here :(
 
Me to private cpt server:

My friend to private cpt server:

Me to public jhb server:

My friend to public jhb server:

We are both on AH.

Twitch is now buffering as well. Channel is "esl_csgo" Am I wasting my time posting this? -_-

I don't think you are, every bit helps us :) I know some changes have been made so things should definitely start looking up.
What's your latency like at the moment?

No idea. The combination of his loss and mine made mumble unusable so I switched to Telkom:

Please fix this AH :(

*EDIT That screenshot is from my telkom account. AH was unusable.

From the results you've posted, it looks like your exchange isn't really playing ball here :( Do you have another account to see if the latency can be replicated?

See above, I added them to the original post.
Needless to say UStream is pictur perfect in HiRes on Telkom.
