Afrihost POC Network - Afrigreen Feedback

[AfriGuy]

6pm, on the dot for weekdays, and my latency for all gaming servers in ZA has gone to hell in a handbasket. 7 days in a row. 6pm on the dot each time with the exception of Friday-Sunday, where I get this rubbish from 4pm instead. Goes on until at least 12pm.

Really sorry to hear
Is the experience the same over on your regular account?

 

[Tolstoy]

Ah. Normal account works hundreds. Thanks!

If it helps, the email that sends the Afrigreen details explicitly says the normal AH account will be locked (which is clearly isn't).

Do you have an IP for the gaming servers?

The initial intention was to have the accounts locked, and with the roll out of the production network they may be soon. We'll confirm if/ when that happens though.
If the details display in your ClientZone as active it's good to go though.

I really hope you guys make sure that ALL the kinks are worked out as TBH I've had to switch between accounts fairly regularly (even before the latest snafu).

Also still buggerall on my tickets now more than a week old.

Your latency isn't too bad.
How do things compared over on your regular account?

At least p2p and vpn works on AfriRed but useless for pretty much everything else.

EDIT: Scratch that - AfriRed also performing badly on p2p. Max speed of 100 KB/s.
I checked my WA test account and the same torrent runs at 390 KB/s.

It may be best switching over to your regular account for now if the experience is better for you.

Sorry about that
Can you see if your regular account smooths things out?

 

[Emissary_Of_Pain]

Can confirm what @kyton is saying, TS definitely not working well ...


Also, streaming is a steaming pile ... ... ... you get the idea ... what's with all the inconsistency ... it's killing me ...

Can't download, or game, at least I can stream ... ... now even that has disappeared

 

[dinkd]

well p2p is absolutely useless tonight..3.1kb/s on an 8 meg line. I think i have been patient enough with AH.

 

[kyton]

I can game, etc. Just not TS.

Just in addition to the above - if I connect to my vpn p2p runs at 360KB/s on AfriRed.

Sorry about that
There may be issues on P2P with Afrigreen at the moment - will be fixed up when we launch the production network.
