All seems fine at the moment on our side - seems like your results are showing nothing obvious, but our tests definitely show all thumbs up right now.
280kB/s? Not sure that is theoretically possible on 2Mbps, but 1.75Mbps would definitely be happiness on that line speed

What do you mean my tests are showing nothing obvious?
You realize those speeds are being taken from my 10meg line right?
I don't think fibre is all about cheapness. It's also meant to replace the ailing copper infrastructure that is creating so much of a maintenance and performance headache for clients and providers alike.
We don't know enough about the support side of fibre - I guess that is coming. I imagine it comes with it's own unique challenges and technical stuff. But I do think new cabling, new technologies, etc will be mostly good news for clients

No on Ookla, if I look at it in terms of kb/s it shows that, so I'm not sure what that means. Im guessing that 1.75mb would relate to that in kb/s. But maybe some Smart individual will explain that280kB/s? Not sure that is theoretically possible on 2Mbps, but 1.75Mbps would definitely be happiness on that line speed
I mean I don't see an obvious cause to your slow speeds. Latency seems OK, etc. We definitely have capacity, other clients posting here are demonstrating that speeds are good on the network at the moment. I think would definitely like to test your line further and see whether it can perform consistently.
PM me, let's get a consultant in touch with you and see if there is any way to improve your experience.
So 1MB (megabyte) is 8 Mb (megabits). 1 Megabit is 1024 kilobits. So 1.75Mbps equals 1792kbps (out of 2048kbps) which is excellent, considering Telkom take an overhead on the line for management.

I'm having trouble with Simfy.co.za. It's not loading properly and things are timing out. The problem is that I don't know if it's Simfy themselves or Afrihost internet. In the past it has always been Afrihost so I'll start there. Anyone else having problems with Simfy?
Simfy working perfectly for me on this side. What are your general stats like?

Hi AfriMan, speed tests are very good this morning. I do seem to have some timeouts on certain sites but will monitor it and let you know.
Please do. What sites specifically do you see? We can also test from this side.
Also see if simfyafrica.com sees any difference
Are you also having issues on the app?

Hi AfriGuy, haven't got the app, just use the site. However I got busy with work and now that I tried again everything seems fine. Thank you for the help guys.
