Thanks, that worked.
Hi guys
Sorry about the recent issue, saw a dip in international traffic on the network.
All resolved now.

Wow - a dip? Really?
I've had enough of this ***** now... Let me rather go and find a reputable ISP. Sick and tired of your crap, your unfair treatment of your business uncapped users, and the total lack of network stability.

Wasn't a dip, it was a plummet to zero.
Yes it is back but what was the cause ?

It wasn't just Afrihost, it was Neotel more likely (AFAIK Afrihost's upstream provider), our Neotel fibre had issues as well.
I'm personally not sure as to the cause, our network team are still running a post-mortem.

overselling and not enough ipc maybe ?
Not sure this was specifically a Neotel issue. They're one of many upstream providers.

And the weekend? And last week? And before then? No thanks - Afrihost is the service provider, they are responsible. Not their *single* upstream provider whom I have nothing to do with.
It's called r-e-d-u-n-d-a-n-c-y. Something which Afrihost *clearly* never heard of before.
First it was IS, then IS wasn't good enough. Then it was MTN, then MTN wasn't good enough. Now it's Neotel, and Neotel's "not good enough." At this rate, Afrihost is going to run out of providers pretty soon. Time to take some responsibility, and stop blaming other people for your slack, AH...

Really?
Who else do you get International capacity from? Your ASN and IP prefixes are only advertised through Neotel, no one else, in terms of International connectivity.
That wouldnt make international grind to a dead stop.
Sounds like a link or hardware failure.

Then find out and tell us what happened.
Internet has died for me briefly a few times in the last few minutes.
No. You would have to shape the hell out of your customers to save bandwidth on non-priority protocols.
