Morning everyone
We're passing all your feedback back to the network team. Seems like a few people from the Cape still having issues. Thank you for sharing your results and tests.
Let's hope we can improve your experience soon
Over the weekend things were not great for most people here in South.
How are you as AH hoping to improve our experience soon?

I would like to know that aswell. Otherwise it is time to move on. Can't Afrihost put a commitment date here for us?

They don't call it "slaapstad" for no reason. Even our infrastructure is way too chilled

Thanks for the feedback. Is there anything in the works to address this issue? I probably would not have noticed any difference, had it not been for the launch. SpaceX are going to be doing the launches almost weekly now. Need my rocket streams

Yeah, but how can you look at it, see the packet loss and latency and say everything looks fine.

Tata Communications, i.e. Neotel? That wouldn't be a surprise as they don't really have a great track record when it comes to stability or quality.

It could be due to the distance from the Exchange, but I'll need to check on that for you, could you PM me your DSL number and I'll check for you.

We're still working on it at the moment.
Are you able to access Office365 at all at the moment?

Nope, outlook.com, Windows updates, office365 all intermittently working, or very and I mean very slow.

Which Stream were you watching? I know that NASA had a separate stream to the SpaceX Team. From my side the SpaceX stream was fine on Sunday, I can't really speak to the quality on Saturday as I was out.
Which DNS are you using at the moment?

We're doing a lot of stress testing and bandwidth throughput testing on our side.
It's not been easy to isolate the fault, it doesn't look like everyone is affected in the same way.

I use google dns for all isp accounts. I was too lazy to switch again. I will check on the next launches (Soyuz 22 Feb / Spacex 28 Feb) and provide some feedback. The streaming was via youtube on SpaceX chan.
