Afrihost POC Network - Afrigreen Feedback

There is something wrong with the site. It gives a general failure error.

Not just that site few others as well.

Site seems to work for me.

And speed is fluctuating in general even if downloading youtube video.

Speed seems fine for few minutes and then drops to barely usable for a while and then back again.

Weird, I have no errors when playing YouTube videos at 1080p.

Playing youtube seems to be working fine but when downloading any video, seems that's where the issue is.

Though I was struggling to play a video someone posted on twitter have to pause it so it can buffer.

I'm sure that once Afrihost analyse the logs they will discover what is causing the errors.

Yeah hopefully

Weird, trace routes done 5 seconds apart, this could explain the drops, almost as if there are two networks live at the same time?

My current stats

 

[steel_dog]

YouTube isn't good in CPT.
Line speed is 20mbps. Achieving 17mbps on SAIX and 12mbps on Vudu speed tests.
YouTube is maxing out at 4mbps.
Easily achieved 14mbps on Afrihost in the past.

EDIT: Seeing packet loss on the YouTube server. Not regular, but there.

Ping's fine, but it's just slow in terms of real-world usage (streaming, downloading, browsing).
YouTube seems to stream and then just stop buffering for no reason. Webpages sometimes require reloading in order to display anything.

 

[Purply]

Hmmmm yes, something very wrong this morning my side, rebooted router, but still the same.

Also tried normal afrihost with pretty much the same end results.

*EDIT* Ok tried 3 different ISPs, all similar results, so guess the problem is my side somewhere

 

[kohlhtor]

Speed up and down in pe

 

[kohlhtor]

Using telkom account no problems

 

[Bashley]

I have been having problems with the entire afrihost network since Monday (normal and afrigreen). I switched to afrigreen in the hope that my extreme high latency would be normal again. All services the worst I have ever experienced in 4 years with afrihost.
Websites take a long time to open. Constant discontents.

I have "complained" about the bad service and the feed back I get is one of "there is nothing much we can do".

So there is only one thing for it, I canceled my account. Will have to ride out this month horror. I don't even dare to play a online game because of the contact disconnects and the average ping of 800 ms, this is on local servers.

Below are pictures when trying to watch The International Dota Championship.






Thanks Afrihost.
