Anyone experiencing DNS issues on some sites?

Not that I care much, but sanral.co.za doesn't work on the network for me. Switched over to an IS account and it worked immediately.

Just checked it. Broken for me as well, not that I really care about Sanral :p

Can you guys check again quickly if you are having issues accessing sanral.co.za.

If it doesn't load, would you mind doing a traceroute to it?

That's awesome to hear!

Still a bit of work that needs to be done, but I'm glad to hear we're making some progress!

Thanks, I'm really starting to think this is a peering issue / bandwidth prioritisation issue. We're seeing the same thing on our office connection.

No problem! I've passed it on to our Team to look into.

I think this is perhaps related to the Geo-location on our new IP-range.

AfriBlue will follow a similar roll-out plan to AfriGreen, unfortunately we will only deploy IPC to the South and East once we have started the full roll-out of the new network.

I don't have an ETA for AfriBlue, we're still some way off of actually issuing test accounts.

Is it likely that you'll have the Afrigreen south IPC up and running by the end of the month? Been testing Afrigreen for a while now and it's been maxing on my 40mbit line on most if not all protocols. It's like chalk and cheese compared to the old network.

The only problem is the ~70ms ping to CPT :( gaming isn't pleasant...

I'm not sure when we'll go live with an East/ South POP on Afrigreen yet. I think we'll want to get Afriblue tested first. The minute I hear anything though I'll drop some feedback in this thread :)

Glad your experience has been better though!
 
Just bit more feedback.

Downloading from http site. While downloading at 1mbps, youtube streaming simultaneously at 720p no issues. But vimeo streaming while downloading doesn't work.

That's weird. Any idea how much bandwidth the vimeo vid wants?
 
twitch just buffering on my side - please help... :(

Ping to local = 60ms (bit higher than usual <30ms)
2.7mb down (usually >3.5mb)
0.40 up (meh)

4mb capped line.

Yeah it won't be great :( We're still nailing down the right profiles for the site - I'm sure it'll improve soon. It's on the top of the the things to still do.
