Afrihost POC Network - Afrigreen Feedback

[SlowHands]

I'm reading this as a 20Mbps line. Are you getting better speeds with another ISP account?

It's a 8mbps line
Upstream line rate (kbit/s) 635 - his actual upstream sync rate
Downstream line rate (kbit/s) 8191 - his actual downstream sync rate
Upstream maximum line rate (kbit/s) 1164 - router's maximum possible upstream rate (according to attenuation/noise etc)
Downstream maximum line rate (kbit/s) 19676 - router's maximum possible downstream rate (according to attenuation/noise etc)
Upstream noise safety coefficient(SNR) (dB) 17.9
Downstream noise safety coefficient(SNR) (dB) 13.6
Upstream interleave depth 0
Downstream interleave depth 0
Line standard ADSL_2plus
Upstream line attenuation (dB) 12.6
Downstream line attenuation (dB) 27.5

Depends on how the router reports. I know some report max and minimum, so very difficult to distinguish. I prefer reading straight off the exchange because router info can be a little unreliable.

trust me...it's right the way I said it

8Mbps line and account

 

[AfriMan]

8Mbps line and account

Ok awesome What are the best speeds you normally see?

As seen in the Afrigreen test results above

I meant for the line, with other ISP's etc. Depending on the line, some 8Mbps lines will see just over 7Mbps at best. Your SNR seemed pretty healthy though, so I would expect at least 7Mbps on a healthy 8Mbps sync.

Maybe drop me a PM so I can see what Telkom's portal shows for your actual sync with the exchange and go by those stats.

So when are you'll switching over to the new network?

Because over the weekend Afrigreen experience was horrible so I switched to normal Afrihost Business Account. Today Afrihost Business Account speeds are horrible while Afrigreen now having the same issue I was having before when downloading, browsing Facebook, twitter etc images and such don't load and takes forever.

If it's not one thing it's another. Hugely frustrating.

 

[electrofreeze]

we are having the same problems

 

[Kaito]

Twitter was fun today and Thanks for the AfriThanks !

But I should probably give some feedback before I go too off-topic.

Afrigreen is working fine on my side. Only issue is in the evenings (around 7 pm), torrents slow down drastically (not really an issue for me). I haven't noticed any issues with regards to browsing, streaming or gaming.

 

[KoolDaffy]

So it's not just me then.

Cape Town and Joburg same problems.

On serious note, just keeping everyone up to date with what is happening on this side. As I mentioned, official communications are going to be sent out this week with more specific dates in terms of the production version of AfriGreen going live, cutover from our MTN production network, etc. That should be within the next day or so at the most

When I login with Afrigreen I still get blocked from the backend of my website (not hosted with Afrihost) as it is seen as a US ip address.
I can't allow the US in IQ block country as we get a lot of guys trying to sign in from the US.

Will you still have the old network available? Or is there another solution?

We're in the process of building the network. When we have a better timeframe and updates - we'll communicate them here.

Is this only being seen on Afrigreen? If so - new IP ranges will probably be allocated in production.

Yes only on Afrigreen login, Afrihost is fine.

Afrigreen

Is AfriGreen also using MTN SA? It used to be Afrihost or didn't you refresh the browser page?

 

[AfriGuy]

Yes only on Afrigreen login, Afrihost is fine.

I wonder if the hosts are blocking the specific IP range being used here. Do you have a comparative traceroute/ MTR showing where things are failing?

This is been blocked at the website because I have blocked US from the backend. I get to the frontend no problem.
"This plugin uses the GeoLite database from Maxmind." Somehow the ip addresses Afrigreen use have to be recognised as SA addresses.

When is p2p going to be sorted?
Everything was brilliant last month...no shaping, streaming full HD, p2p streaming no buffering...
p2p is fine on afrihost capped and webafrica test account
