twitch.tv still borked....

We're working on Twitch.tv now, we've had to make some adjustments to get the maximum performance on Twitch.tv so you should start seeing an improvement in the next day or so.
 
10 Mbps 100Gb Capped, syncing at 8.3 Mbps (modem indicates line can go to 11.6)

International
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4518671058

Watched some 1080p Youtube videos without any problems, no buffering at all

Browsing, Google maps working normally

Old network today at 18:00 was horrible, international speed barely 0.1 Mbps

Thanks for the awesome feedback! Definitely good to hear that there is a step-up in performance!
 
Everything still working fine on this end... :)

Awesome, when ever you guys think it's ready, post in this thread and I'll give it another go.
 
Thanks for the awesome feedback! Definitely good to hear that there is a step-up in performance!

AfriGenie, do you think it is safe to move all my connections to AfriGreen for now?
Can we expect any more downtime like on Friday and Saturday?

The MTN Network is shot, and the latency is appalling.

Almost 8pm and still going strong... all still working fine here for me on AfriGreen.

Just received the account today, and trying out now.

Initially could not connect to GMail imap servers, but it is connecting now.

Will test more, maybe will improve, but at the current state: practically unusable.

Got my green login info today.
Have not been using my AH data during this month due to all the issues.
Tested AG and working great!!!
Playing Destiny and watching 1080 youtube at the same time with NO issues!!
Keep it going, looking great at the moment!

AfriGenie, do you think it is safe to move all my connections to AfriGreen for now?

The MTN Network is shot, and the latency is appalling.

To be honest, I would recommend holding off for a few more days, on Saturday for example we didn't have a choice but to take AfriGreen down for the period that we did. I don't think it will happen again, but I cannot promise that it won't happen again.
 
We are keeping details logs of faults are they are brought to our attention, so you should be able to keep track of them from the AfriGreen sign-up page.

The AfriGreen signup page does not show me any network information this end.
Also how is AfriBlue going?
Is it even worth Afrihost's time to test at this point.
 
I don't see anything either. Since my problem seems to be sort of an isolated case how am I supposed to know it's even being acknowledged?

Hmmm, I'll need to check up on that.

We're still going to be as thorough as possible with the testing, at the moment we're not quite ready to start testing with Clients on AfriBlue yet.

If you submitted the issue in ClientZone, we'll definitely look into it and address the issue in full.

Browsing good, Torrents full speed, Youtube streaming good on 720p with the odd +-3 second buffer, 480p excellent! 1080p a waste of time…
