7Mbps throughput but in reality half the packets are dropped. /slow clap.
(basically 80% of the time it's a still frame where the audio keeps going, then it jumps back)
 
I also had major YouTube issues tonight. Started at 7pm for me.
Bras fine as usual.

Browsing & other online activities were also sluggish.

Hey man, I also have 20 Mbps with Unshaped Capped and stay in Northern Suburbs, CPT.

Is your DNS set to Auto? Mine has auto selected 169.1.1.4 and 169.1.1.9

My Youtube.com resolves to a different address (possibly cached in CPT judging by the pings)

Just thought I'd mention that I was able to get Reddit to go through London once on Afrihost but subsequent checks were all via Australia. Seems odd that it looks localized to their site which makes me think it may be on their side but then again every time I check via another ISP (e.g. WA) it goes direct, so it's very odd.

Hi!

We've asked our Team to check what's going on, it's possible that Reddit is directing specific IPs to the Australian servers.
 
I also had major YouTube issues tonight. Started at 7pm for me.
Bras fine as usual.

Browsing & other online activities were also sluggish.

Looks like the usual South capacity issues.

:(

I've passed your results onto our Team to look into. When you get a chance can you check which DNS servers you are pulling from us at the moment.
 
HTTP download going at a full 8 KB/s. Didn't realise that I missed dial-up so much until now.

Hi!

I've PM'ed you the details, but I've logged a fault for your line, those latencies you are seeing are definitely not right and we'll need to get Telkom out to check what's going on.

Hey

Thank you. Yeah it is really abnormal and my Internet is basically unusable during the evenings. During the day it is fine.

That looks like it may be an isuse on your line or Exchange. Are you permanently seeing those types of results?
 
All right, logged into the test account and now my line resynced at 9.2Mbps with 6.4dB attenuation instead of the previous 10Mbps with 8dB attenuation.
Also having 4% packet loss on the bras.afrihost.com hop, which did not happen on other ISP accounts.

Hopefully it's a "quick" line fault fix, and we can get over all this trouble quickly.

Would you like me to stay logged into the test account until tomorrow and see what any games/youtube run at this evening?

EDIT:

And a second later:

My exchange latency is back to 20ms constant.
This is confusing, was there a telkom tech working on the exchange, messing around with my line?

That looks quite a bit better...

Could you test the latency tonight and let me know if there is any change.

Yes, still 20ms constant, not one packet spike, since 10:47am.
I'll keep the test account and pingplotter running all day, will see what happens this evening.

It seems to be avoiding London and going through the east coast and then Sweden?

Hey man, I also have 20 Mbps with Unshaped Capped and stay in Northern Suburbs, CPT.

Is your DNS set to Auto? Mine has auto selected 169.1.1.4 and 169.1.1.9

My Youtube.com resolves to a different address (possibly cached in CPT judging by the pings)

...

Also, try signing up for a free account at another ISP, i.e. WebAfrica and repeating the same tests during the problematic periods to see if the issue is localized to Afrihost's network or if it may be something else.

I'm in the same area you are. Mine is auto DNS too.
I did not manually test those. I've automated tracert's running at intervals.

The worrying part is that all was fine until AH did the split for capped accounts. Then the issues started again.
