[Dianysis]

Yes please.

Ok give me a few minutes. Dont go anywhere.

He might, but I'll be here.

 

[Dianysis]

So has AfriGuy given you a run down on the test he has asked me to do?

 

[Segg]

We still need to get the exact schedule, but the plan - so far - is that the Afrigreen accounts will be running on the new network first, with the other accounts being gradually moved across. So you will have two separate accounts still for the moment.

Okay, mind letting us all know when this happens so we can ensure we're using the correct details?

 

[Dianysis]

Is it the same file from last night?

Exact same file.

 

[Dianysis]

Don't use Usenet. Sorry.
I can post a WA comparison like I did last night?

Here is the WA test:

Again it got to that speed in about 5 seconds flat.

He has indeed, you just need to post the tests when you get a chance.

We'll be sending out more details communications in the coming days, we'll make sure that we everyone up to date on the exact timeline and the process that we'll be following.

Hi AfriGenie, can you confirm that we are not being allocated any free data on Afrigreen this month?
I think Afriguy missed it as he was packing up for the day

AfriGenie - are you guys sure that the business uncapped users aren't being unintentionally shaped?
It is really funny.

At this point, there isn't an AfriThanks allocation for October, this may or may not change.

I think it is important to note we aren't shaping Users that shouldn't be shaped, but we are hitting the upper theoretical limit of the bandwidth that we have available, so there will be some degree of contention until we start the full production roll-out of Afrigreen.

 

[LaraC]

Exact same file.

Do you want me to test with AfriGreen?

So can I ask - why does it seem to be affecting p2p (my own experience) and nntp (what others are posting) the most?
And LaraC doesn't seem to be affected at all.

 

[Dianysis]

Yes please.
Will be interesting.

 

[LaraC]

Yes please.
Will be interesting.

Okay lets see what happens.

Ok thanks, I will stay on VOX or Telkom till my payment holiday period ends then test at month end to decide on a way forward.

Have you tried Usenet as a comparison? That's performing pretty well for me.

I have tried and Usenet is dead
