Afrihost New Network Feedback - Part 2

I am noticing a general international speed issue this afternoon. Everything was fine up until around 4pm and now it is all lagging badly. Local is 100% but international is a huge issue right now for me.

YouTube streaming not happy at the moment. Can't even stream 720p without constant buffering.

Yeah I have the same thing. Local is running full speed but international has all gone to hell. Youtube is buffering like its running on Dial-Up and even trying to play Division or Diablo is a problem... sigh
 
Static IP In South & East Down

Medium Impact 18:58, 30 Jul 2016


We are receiving reports that Business Uncapped users using Static IP addresses in the South (Cape Town and surrounding parts of the Eastern and Western Cape) and East (Durban and surrounding parts of KZN) are unable to access the internet. Affected users will experience no throughput (line speed) despite appearing to connect normally. Business Uncapped accounts not using Static IP continue to work as normal, which will also be the case if Static IP functionality is temporarily turned off. Our network engineers are investigating and hope to resolve the issue as soon as possible. We sincerely apologise to affected clients for any inconvenience this may cause.

This is now getting really old. We've been trying to be patient and understanding, but enough is enough.
Trying to get some actual work done online, but constant buffering.
 
Yea, sitting with 525 unstable ping to a World of Warships server. Doesn't look like I will have any fun tonight...
Last night I had a ping of 100 and it was stable, no issues.

Yep, doing things like downloading from the Google Play store (20 KB/s) and logging into Dropbox is impossibly slow.
 
I suppose I should not post here, I should refer to 'critical care' as per AfriGuy. So over this freaking Mweb peering problem! Afrihost fix your network! This is not an isolated issue, others are experiencing the same problems.

As everyone uses up the last of their caps as they have the mentality of saving the data till the last moment and then splurging it, causing slow-downs for everyone. Check tomorrow, the latency/throughput issues will be a lot better again. It's the same if you check the Telkom LTE threads (I haven't looked at any other ISP/network threads today)

Yip exactly the same thing, 16 days and counting. Seems YouTube is also affected by this problem now. But according to AfriGuy, I am the only user experiencing this problem?

I suppose you're right, but if I was Afrihost I'd throttle the crap out of those splurges that do this. Compromising network integrity should be the response they should use to something like that. And here i thought it was the uncapped users we aught to be worried about.

That would be against the unshaped clause in the agreement.

I'd re-work that agreement or else your AUP doesn't have any meaning to start with. I don't have a capped accounts so do you guys get the same clause? I'd be able to rework that clause still (accounts remain unshaped until network provider's network becomes compromised) Whatever... Its Sunday
