Afrihost Capped DSL Feedback

Ugh!

It looks like the latency is starting on your DSL line or Exchange from those results. Do we manage your DSL line? If we do, PM me your DSL Line number and I'll see if a Port Recreate helps.
Everything's running full speed at the moment... Win10 did prompt for a restart after an Office 2013 update so not too sure if that was the culprit slowing things down... Will monitor it a bit longer

Ah! Okay, please keep an eye on things and let me know if there is any change!

Lovely.

290ms in-game, about 900Kbps throughput on videos.
 
Getting some latency on London game servers, 300-400ms and ping spikes for the last few hours. Switched to my Telkom internet account that came free with the DSL bundle and all was good.

Problem seems to have gone now tho, ping is back to normal albeit a nit higher than usual at 200ms.
 
I know this probably won't get read till tomorrow evening but Twitch is running like crap right now.

Not cool! :( I've reported Twitch performance to our NOC Team. Please let me know if it slows down for you during the day today.

Weird spikes here.. Are you seeing the same when you trace locally?

Thanks for the update... What DNS settings are you using?
 
AfriFella I sent you a PM on the 13th. Will you be having a look soon?

Morning standerr! :) Not sure how it got missed!? I've found it now - will reply to you in the next few minutes. :)
 
Was just checking if it was something on my side but international sites are slow, Youtube is fine

Edit: seems to be resolved
