Got your PM, just going through quite a few messages from the weekend - guessing from the latency issue in the north.
You should have my reply by now though
My internet at home is still down
It's connected, but jack-shizz comes through.
That sucks man! Please PM me so I can try to help here
Can you connect with any ISP account?

Don't worry. Had someone restart the router and it's all good. I think the connection turned into one of those dormant ones (dead, but restart the router and all's good).
Looks like the North is back up and all should be back to normal shortly (if not already)

Back to normal on my side, thanks...

Seems to be intermittent again.
Worked fine for a bit, then 0...... nasty packet drops on traceroutes and pings, then fine again. Then down to 100KB/s max, and now it's dead again.
And now it's working again.
And back to broken.
Meh.

Twitch streams are lagging on low.
They are working fine on source quality on my backup WA account.
Yet the network notice page says everything is ok ...
Afrihost, please fix your network. I'm getting tired of these issues.

For some reason theverge.com is not loading today. I can ping it and do a tracert, but no browser loading. It resolves fine via other ISPs and Tor.
i.imgur.com also not loading.
Can anyone else get to them via Afrihost?

Try changing your DNS to Google DNS, nearly all international sites I use are down using Afrihost, changed DNS and now they all work again. Tried the 2 sites you mentioned, i.imgur works on Google DNS but not the Verge
Will do, thanks. Any point in reporting DNS issues or will this thread suffice?
EDIT: Looks like they just fixed it. Still using google DNS, but the verge suddenly works whereas it didn't 2 min ago.

Just checked the Verge a few seconds ago as well and it also works, was just going to tell you. I'm going to stay on Google DNS anyway and not bother changing

Nope, DNS specifically 196.7.7.7 is still down, the phone is ringing off the hook

Dunno what's happening here. Is latency fluctuating or throughput? or both?
As far as I can see there is no major problem on the network, but if you can show me specific results on throughput and latency then I can take that forward. As far as I know there have been no issues aside from DNS problems with Cloudflare sites.
