[Icemanbrfc]

My line seems to be a bit better. Torrents running at 1.5mb/s at the moment on 20mbps line.

That is an acceptable speed.

But you're in a town in the middle of nowhere.

Yup, but the Metro has gobbled us up.

 

[Bryn]

Things doing much better today. Just wish Afrihost would stick to doing things well.

Youtube crap resolution on my smart player. Again. All this free data and double caps are hurting.

720 vid on android playing ok. Possible that lg smart device is treated differently?

Afrihost, what did you do with your routing of international traffic from Cape Town. I used to get 160 -180ms while gaming on European servers. Now I get 200+ms. and just to be clear, the lower latency is the reason I joined you guys a few months back. How can I be satisfied with you guys when I get the same latency as on the Telkom Network.

why is "if-ae-7-0.tcore2.KLT-Cape-Town.as6453.net [41.206.165.25] " so high?

Are they routing Cpt traffic to Jhb and then back to Cpt onto the international links? it seems that's what's happening.

Why Afrihost is not waiting for switchover before the new system is tested

 

[kohlhtor]

Sorry Afrihost is not caring about it's users

 

[AfriGuy]

Why were customers pushed onto the new cache server if it wasn't ready to be used?

Because we can't build a cache manually I'm afraid.
