Google dns

Im using my Telkom account currently, let me know if you want me to switch back and run tests on another dns.

Would you mind switching back to your Afrihost Account and using Auto DNS. I just need to see if there is any difference.

Its working again on the google dns, so whatever it was its been resolved.
 
AfriGenie said:
Just to clarify, you made no changes on your side? No changes to DNS, enabling a VPN etc.

Yeah i didnt make any dns changes either, thought i would test before making a change and it was working again.

Just checking if anyone else sees this problem (I've reported it to Afrihost support but would be interested in other user experiences):

Every evening Slack stops working for me. This is a messenger app we use at my work and talks to a server (apparently) at 54.230.196.174, port 443 (HTTPS). At peak time (~ 7pm to 10pm) it just cannot connect. (I have some other things that don't connect - e.g. the OpenVPN VPN to my workplace, which is on Neotel broadband - but right now I'd like to focus on Slack).

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks!
Peter
 
Yip I could not access the Mweb network either earlier, no point in posting about it, nothing gets done. It has been 7 weeks since this problem started.

I couldn't access skysports.com either, that surely isn't Mweb network as well? This seems to go slightly beyond just Mweb imo.

There are no capacity issues.
Please continue to communicate with Critical Care so they can reach a resolution with you.

If you shaping business accounts then there definitely are - you just not allowed to say. Same as all the other times I guess. I see nothing changes.
 
and the same issues with torrents from 19:00 to 21:00 every night, never gets acknowledged or fixed (they don't even respond to posts on these forums), as its obviously company policy that this is being limited during peak times.

That site still runs on flash player, very unstable and would cause poor throughput on streams. YT runs on HTML5 which has better performance and stability. How ever when I play it on my side it loads in 480p, could be that your browser is outdated or the flash player has issues, might wanna reinstall your browser or delete all cookies and browser history

Are you forgetting he says it works fine on 3G?

EDIT: I saw your other posts, can you explain why?

Hey Peter

Sounds like an odd one. I use Slack for most of the day and don't seem to see any issues.
Is Slack the only service/ app that's an issue or does your overall experience worsen during these times?

Have you been able to run any tests with our team?
Are other downloads slow or is it only torrents?
