Well Afrihost, if a fibre announcement doesn't happen in the next 9 days I'm going to have to find another ISP.

Thanks! We'll check on this now. Are you seeing Twitch.tv buffering a lot or is it not loading at all?

Buffering like crazy on Medium and FB takes like 10min to load a video @ SD quality

YT seems fine as long as I pause a video first and let it buffer a bit first, but if I don't constant buffering follows

We're trying to replicate this on our side, which DNS Servers are you using at the moment? And your web browser?
 
Mine is flying on everything, except weatherunderground. So, I cannot see the weather for tomorrow :D
 
Can you quickly check which DNS servers have been assigned to your modem please.

According to my router: 169.1.1.4 - 169.1.1.2

If this is wrong let me know as I am new to the tomato firmware and trying to find everything still ... haha


:::EDIT:::

Finally hit 8Mbps speedtest ... I should be hitting 10Mbps (as that is what I was hitting before the whole IPC issue)


YT seems to be working fine now ... guess there was some issue but it sorted itself out. Twitch still not playing ball and FB still not happy with HD vids

Thanks! We're making a few changes quickly on our side.

That's not good... Are you getting similar results on your @afrihost.co.za account?
 
Overall it seems great on my side. Minus that one Facebook issue which seems to have gone 'for now'

Torrents running at speeds I've never experienced on my afrihost account.

Browsing other sites seems fine.

I'd still have to test http downloads and other streaming too but so far so good.
