Afrihost POC Network - Afrigreen Feedback

[ProAsm]

A question to Afrihost.
Do I have to switch to this test network or can I just stay where I am ?
I ask this because I have never had a problem with AH except a week or 2 ago when I complained to Afriman that they were screwing up my connection to fix others and kudu's to him he admitted that this was the case and within no time all was well again.
Basically what I'm saying is if I stay where I am, will I somehow loose out in the future with a maybe better connection ?
I have 50+50 Capped connection.

Seems to be OK today - not as much issues as usual.

Haven’t used my PC during the week but I’m still very happy with the AfriGreen network. The short routes are fantastic.

Tracing route to google-public-dns-a.google.com [8.8.8.8]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 * * * Request timed out.
2 42 ms 40 ms 40 ms 41.170.79.229
3 45 ms 45 ms 45 ms 41.170.79.230
4 45 ms 44 ms 44 ms 41.170.79.236
5 44 ms 44 ms 44 ms google.jb1.napafrica.net [196.46.25.166]
6 45 ms 44 ms 44 ms 72.14.239.53
7 44 ms 44 ms 44 ms google-public-dns-a.google.com [8.8.8.8]

Trace complete.



YouTube stats for nerds at 720 and 1080 are awesome.

I have no connection. It's completely dead. Anything up with Afrigreen?

[Francois Marais]

Yep, connection went balls up...
Want to load a Beta on my iPad, but seems like that wont happen tonight

 

[Rickster]

Running perfect here.

Morning Everyone

Just trying to comb through the comments from the weekend, seems like a few people had connection problems. I'm not sure I can reply to every post, so please log a ClientZone issue for anything that still persists or grab me via PM if I missed any important issues that need to be addressed.

Streaming from iPad is horrible yet from laptop it works like a charm... guess streaming on wifi ain't the preferred option

It could be QoS on your router. Maybe fiddle with some WiFi and QoS settings

Hi,

Moved back to vanilla account. Couldn't bare the slow speeds anymore.

Still getting problems, but they are not as severe as with the AfriGreen account. Saw a great improvement in switching back.

Regards,
Leon

 

[AfriMan]

No. Just curious if you guys are paying to test.

Would be madness if you did.

Everyone is getting their normal data allocation made available on their test account, which they can use on either account, so nobody is paying anything additional - if that is what you are asking.

Anywhere specific that you are seeing problems, or just general speeds?

 

[AfriMan]

Strange. I streamed at 1080p without any issues. I thought i would be seeing worse issues since in PE and having to route via CT. For me has been better than the normal account. Will try test some more and see if i still get packet loss in BF4

Thanks for the feedback. Good to hear that your experience is better

 

[AfriMan]

Still can't stream YouTube at anything higher than 360p and even then the buffering it's super annoying.

Definitely weird. Can you give us some more details here? Maybe links to the videos you're testing - maybe they're not locally cached

 

[AfriMan]

I still cannot download torrents...keeps connecting to peers. I tried a few to make sure that the problem wasn't with the torrent itself.
Works fine on my normal Afrihost account but not on my Afrigreen.

That's definitely weird. Tested torrents myself over the weekend, so should be working.

Drop me a link if you can so I can test (you can do it via PM if you prefer)

Doesn't look good - seeing high latency from the get go. Are you only getting this on AfriGreen?
