...and yet, there is ALWAYS a difference in performance between the two.
Whenever one is slow in the day, I switch to the other, and the speed returns. At night it's the same thing (especially during peak 19:00 till 22:30).

I have noticed this right from the start, and it hasn't changed. The other interesting fact is that the Afrigreen account shows less latency.

Could you also tell me why the accounts' usage for each is not different in my CZ. From the outset, if I only use AH, my AG usage reflects the same usage, and the monthly usage is then the total of the two (ie. double what I have used).

The data links for the two are the same, so whichever account you use will reflect on the other. hence my comment that there is no difference between then two, it's just like using a different username. So if there are differences in the results, we'll need to consider possibilities with that in mind :(

From the results I posted, one can clearly see that the performance is NOT the same (in my case). Could I pm you the account details... maybe you can see something that would explain the variance?
 
Error 1001 Ray ID: • 2016-01-21 14:08:46 UTC
DNS resolution error
What happened?

You've requested a page on a website (mybroadband.co.za) that is on the CloudFlare network. CloudFlare is currently unable to resolve your requested domain (mybroadband.co.za). There are two potential causes of this:

Most likely: if the owner just signed up for CloudFlare it can take a few minutes for the website's information to be distributed to our global network.
Less likely: something is wrong with this site's configuration. Usually this happens when accounts have been signed up with a partner organization (e.g., a hosting provider) and the provider's DNS fails.

what is the problem today?

Had same issue 5 minutes or so ago - posted 3 times in competition thread with errors along the way

I assume AH problem and not mybb issue?

Are you sure that isn't due to your router establishing a new connection to the exchange every time you swap out the username?

I'm having issues with sites that seem to use Cloudflare as their CDN. Currently MWEB users are reporting issues with international and local as well. I'm even getting occasional 522 errors from cloudflare when trying to browse mybb. R10 the cloudflare CDN crapped itself again.

Hey guys

Seeing a few queries pop up around DNS issues. Just ran some tests on my end and can't seem to find anything wrong.
I can see that CloudFlare are having some issues in the region though, which may or may not be related https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

For those having issues - can you please confirm which sites aren't working and what DNS servers you're using please?

Using Afrihost DNS. All sites I have issues with end up with a Cloudflare Error 522 screen so definitely just that. Amazing how many sites use CloudFlare.

Yeah, also picking that up :(
We're still chatting to our network teams just to double check we're all good though.
 
Something big just broke somewhere, many ISP's affected.

CloudFlare's CDN is currently having issues, which seems to be having a very negative affect.
What's your experience though? Trying to trend an issue - everything looks OK from our end though.
