Mod note to the Afrihost reps: Is it possible for you to draw up a template of what basic information you require and exactly which tests you would like your customers to run and then send to you? This will save plenty of time and reduce the frustrations of members after they send either the wrong tests or incomplete tests to you.

My personal opinion is that your customers should first contact your support desk if they have any issues. If it is not dealt with promptly or to their satisfaction, then this channel can be used to escalate it or make others aware of their problems.

ADSL2+ Is flaky with 3 - 5 (that I am aware of) unexplained disconnections per day, G.DMT seems stable so far.

Throughput is about what you expect for a 7Mbps line, speedtest.net shows 6077 Kbps down and 650 Kbps up while wget ftp://ftp-test.telkomadsl.co.za/16Meg-test.file gets 728KB/s.

My ping to bras.afrihost.com hovers at 43ms when it is the only thing running, it goes up to 300ms during the speedtest.net upload test. I had packet loss (less than 5%) when pinging bras.afrihost.com over the weekend IIRC that was on ADSL2+.

It should be noted that Telkom upgrade the network about 2 to 3 weeks ago. My attenuation use to be about 40db and Telkom limited my sync rateto 5Mbps for stability.

Can you please PM me your details quickly, let me check on your DSL line and Exchange status. If your Exchange has been upgraded you should hopefully see a steady improvement in your connection.

Hi Guys,

I logged a support call this morning but somewhere myself and the support dude misunderstands each other.

This basically is my problem:


Last night while playing games I had terrible lag spikes throughout. even in local Dota2 games my ping would shoot up from 100ms to 1400 and even 1600ms. This was around 9, 10 o'clock. After I switched from afrigreen to nomal afrihost network and rebooted my router it subsided to a degree and then was back to normal. I went into my router via chrome and went to check the logs. I found the following there:

Ignote the date and time stamps as my routers time and date has not been set.

Being intrusions is throwing up a bit of a red flag to me. What can I do and can you assist me?

My support ticket is #EBE-551-99549

He requested that I send him a traceroute and here is my reply with the traceroute.

My internet is now fine. Speeds are fine at the moment. It is the logs of last night that are bothering me.

If you read the pasted logs you will see that there was attempts to "intrude" on my router. From Canada, China and the USA no less looking at their IP's.

But since you asked - here is my tracert to mweb which hosts the dota servers.

Tracing route to www.mweb.co.za [196.2.63.110]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 10.0.0.2

Is there cause to worry with the "intrusions?"

Thanks!

My issue is you submit tests either here or via a support ticket and then nothing happens, so in the end why are we even submitting tests? Is it a delaying tactic in the hope the issue will resolve itself? if you read this thread you can see the hassles I have been having, and still have.

My original reason for asking about the 7Mbps on a 8Mbps product was due to conflicting information I got while talking to one of your support personnel via telephone. I suspect now that issue was related to a mix up with sync rate vs download rates and/or Kb/s vs KB/s.

Still thanks for looking into this from your side.

not sure whats going on here but the packet loss and end latency is a concern.

Is anyone else having problems with International services timing out and connections dropping?

plycoco.de (come and goes)
Sipgate.de (calls are terrible)

bbc.co.uk (does not load fully)

Switching to Mweb and all the above is fine.:confused:

Hi AH.

Got the following email from you guys:

The following ADSL line fault report was recently updated:

*** Telephone number: xxxxxxxxxx
**** Fault reference: 635CTK250416
* Afrihost reference: AH20160425-272973
***** Time of update: 2016-04-26 11:06:21 (3 hours ago)

Type of update: Telkom has added an update to the fault. This means that they are actively engaging the problem with your line, and have been working to address it. As we receive more updates we will keep you informed.

It however doesn't tell what the update is.

Can you tell me?

I'm in Amanzimtoti and my internationals are atrocious to say the least. I have also seen when doing a speedtest it picks a Cape Town server to ping off and not the normal Durban one.

Not sure if it is only Torrents that are affected - been trying to download WoW for the past two days and have the download running constant ........... on a 2 meg line best I can get at the moment is ~100 kB/s (no matter what time of the day).

When I look at my stats on ClientZone, I only manage to download 9 Gigs for the day :crying: .......... file size I am downloading is 31 Gigs *cries in all languages known to man*

Maybe it is just paranoid me ....... but if I look at the history pattern of AH, I am extremely concerned that we are possibly going to see a repeat:

1) Some clients QQ about connection and download issues - AH denies the problem.
2) Some clients continue to QQ about the situation and the number is slowly growing - AH semi acknowledges the problem, but claims it is not on their side.
3) AH system slowly shows signs of catastrophic failure - AH acknowledges they have minor issues and their techies are tending to it.
4) A couple of months later and a hoard of angry clients banging on the door - AH manages to resurrect their system.

The only question I do have is this: Why is AH not reacting to the first signs of cracks in their system as reported by clients, or is my perception totally wrong?

or ....................................

Maybe this is what is implied in the term "best effort"?
Watch carefully - this is exactly what is happening again.

I imagine at some point we will be told there is a problem.

Hi Guys,

I logged a support call this morning but somewhere myself and the support dude misunderstands each other.

This basically is my problem:


Last night while playing games I had terrible lag spikes throughout. even in local Dota2 games my ping would shoot up from 100ms to 1400 and even 1600ms. This was around 9, 10 o'clock. After I switched from afrigreen to nomal afrihost network and rebooted my router it subsided to a degree and then was back to normal. I went into my router via chrome and went to check the logs. I found the following there:

Ignote the date and time stamps as my routers time and date has not been set.

Being intrusions is throwing up a bit of a red flag to me. What can I do and can you assist me?

My support ticket is #EBE-551-99549

He requested that I send him a traceroute and here is my reply with the traceroute.

My internet is now fine. Speeds are fine at the moment. It is the logs of last night that are bothering me.

If you read the pasted logs you will see that there was attempts to "intrude" on my router. From Canada, China and the USA no less looking at their IP's.

But since you asked - here is my tracert to mweb which hosts the dota servers.

Is there cause to worry with the "intrusions?"

Thanks!

Hi Samildanach! Sorry to hear about your poor connection to Dota2 last night Glad to hear that you're back online.

I'll send your ticket number over to our Critical Care Team to give you a more technical response (at least, more technical than I am capable of). :) I don't believe that the word "intrusion" indicates any sort of breach in your network security, though. :)

not sure whats going on here but the packet loss and end latency is a concern.

Packet loss seems to be coming in at the 4th hop here... What DNS are you using?

Hi AH.

Got the following email from you guys:

The following ADSL line fault report was recently updated:

*** Telephone number: xxxxxxxxxx
**** Fault reference: 635CTK250416
* Afrihost reference: AH20160425-272973
***** Time of update: 2016-04-26 11:06:21 (3 hours ago)

Type of update: Telkom has added an update to the fault. This means that they are actively engaging the problem with your line, and have been working to address it. As we receive more updates we will keep you informed.

It however doesn't tell what the update is.

Can you tell me?

Looks like the update on your fault is that your fault has been handed over to a tech. :) Shouldn't be long before it gets resolved now. :)

That'll be hard to confirm from my side... Generally the tech phones first before visiting your premises, or he/she would phone after your line was attended to.

What is going on with International?

Skype - Dropping to UK/Local fine
Windows Updates - Won't download
CNN/BBC/EZTV - all slow to open
Sipgate - Dropping and breaking up
Whatsapp - serious delay

Local traffic seems fine though

Will stay on Mweb account until Afrihost fix it.
