There was a blip again at around 14:40, but nothing out of ordinary on the DNS traffic in Wireshark.

The only issues were TTL failures on pings, not sure if this is helpful?

Thanks! Can you please PM me your account details quickly.
 
Morning all,
What is the best DNS to use or should i stick with AH defaults?
 
Hi there.

The past few nights I have been having severe latency issues and packet loss with international servers. Whether it be online gaming, twitch or just browsing. So tonight I ran a bit of a speedtest to see what's the issue and here are the results:

I should probably mention I'm on a 20/2 uncapped home fibre line. It's become so bad that any online gaming just stalls to the point that it disconnects me. It mostly seems to only happen during 6pm - 12am. When it starts and stops differs from day to day, but it's mostly during peak times.

It looks like your local is perfect and the poor experience might be limited to international. We'd have to troubleshoot with you, because as far as I am aware we provision international capacity very generously to ensure that contention is minimal. It may also be whichever partner network this traffic might be routed on in the UK or EU. Did you run a traceroute at the same time?

Unfortunately I did not. I only pinged google, but that just yet again showed me that local was fine with no packet loss. If the problem persists tonight I'll do a traceroute to see if I can determine where the problem starts.

Please do - the more information we have the better we can diagnose.
 
[MENTION=192591]AfriMan[/MENTION] you got pm. Tt connect is down since yesterday.
 
So... Fibre was ordered on 12 July.
Openserve is installing today.

And the wifi router... Afrihost doesn't have stock anymore and will only be able to deliver end of next week. (Despite support telling me it'll be delivered today).

Great start with Afrihost, amazing.

That seems really strange, let me follow-up with the Warehouse Team, can you please PM me your details quickly.
 
Sent you my details, no response. Still no router, 11days after ordering.

Regretting this already.
