network latency are 6ms from me to the modem, with activity..

my backbone can do 100mb, ordered new toys where i can push 450mb

DSLAM no where near peak.

I have no idea how WISPS work but wouldn't your speed tests and trace routes be affected by network activity?

No dropped frames.

Ja, seems the air has cleared up a bit

Also now starting to see some degraded performance...

Early morning lag spike - torrents are off, only the online game running (in-game ping ~ 1600 ms). Any idea what is causing these spikes?

Looks like a little higher than we'd like but both traces are going to the US. Depending on which coast you are pinging, you could see latency in excess of 300ms

Still looking good

Definitely super awesome

funny the afrihost account works 100%

Both afrigreen and afrihost realms point to the same core network. If you are using the same username (on both realms) then you're literally on the same policy on the same network

It's virtually the same account.

View attachment 308802

These essentially look OK to me. I only see one instance of packet loss - look to be on the routing within the US network that Twitter peers with. I don't think there is much we can do about that.

In terms of US latency, anything in the region of 300ms is average (depending on East or West Coast) and sub 300ms is excellent.

Apologies if this has been covered, but I haven't followed the threads. Has the outgoing email service address changed? smpt.afrihost.co.za does not seem to work for me?
