Afrihost CAPPED ADSL Feedback (MTN)

[balky]

What has happened to streaming tonight??

Speed test is 100% fine but I have tried 5 different streaming servers and all are playing for 2 min and then buffering for 5min.

It is almost as if streams are being shaped and everything else is running at full speed.
I hope they are not testing new software on the Routers again.

Anyone else in the Western cape or anywhere for that matter seeing this behaviour?

EDIT:

Glasnost says the account is not shaped, but then It also did during the Router Upgrade saga
late last year.

I had a similar experience in Jhb. Speedtest fine, but streaming was not great.

International pings are through the roof for me. Across multiple ISPs. Local is fine.

same, and here I thought it was me

Hi guys

We're aware of the issues, it looks to be only affecting the South IPC region - so CPT and surrounds. Our team are working on a fix.

I'm not sure at this stage, sorry.
As soon as there's feedback from our team I'll have something official posted.

No ETR, it's a very young issue - our guys are looking into this.

And yet, true to form, your network status page shows nothing. What is the point of the network status page, anyway? It took literally days of complaints about the last ipc issue before it was updated.

Does access and afrihost share ipc's

My 4Mbps Capped account is running at 3.4Mbps with 16ms ping here in Centurion, PTA.

Probably something that got broken in the South.
