Afrihost POC Network - Afrigreen Feedback

Not open for further replies.
I stopped playing World of Tank in January 2014. Back then Afrihost had packetloss issues and massive ping spikes (~300 up to 999 then back down) with WoT (US servers) but I didn't report it since I was fed up with the game and didn't care.

It's now Late 2015 and I've installed it again and these packetloss and ping jumps are still here. Seriously?

This doesn't affect Free 1 GB WebAfrica or Free 1GB Afrihost.

WebAfrica also gets 270ms, Afrigreen Free 1GB is ~265ms while Afrigreen Uncapped is 300ms and jumps wildly...

I'm on Afrigreen Home Uncapped 4mbit.

Keep timing out loading any pages games can't connect either. Have to post this via mobile.

Anyone else having problems?
 
It's not only Afrihost, folks... massive outage across many network operators and ISPs.

Looks like a major DDoS attack - will confirm later.

Yup. Every day. After 4pm. Latency skyrockets. Cannot connect to gaming servers. Definitely gatvol.
 
Cheaper or not, it works at least and you don't need to spend all day on tgis thread trying to get things to work

Did you try EU server? Ping to EU usually between 180-220.
 
Haha yeah meant worse than the norm :P seems to have sorted itself a bit after rebooting everything.
Speed test to Cape Town is slower than normal. Doesn't affect my browsing though. :)

FFS - the network is already congested but hey let's give away free data and put it under more strain. Whoo hoo!

With no disrespect to Lara who has been a good sport with reporting etc. Once again Capped users get AfriThanks, Business uncapped get Afri-F-you.

Stuff the guys paying for the "Premium unshaped experience" the POC is already at capacity LETS LOAD SOME MORE ON.

Meh!

Exactly.
And yes - I meant no disrespect to LaraC. I apologise if it may have come across that way.
 
Can't use Teamspeak on both AH accounts. Shows 11% connection quality and 34% packet loss, keeps dropping the connection to teamspeak as well.
 
Goodbye to this piece of shet company that cant fix their network in a whole year.

No apologies necessary and you have nothing to worry about. My bandwidth usage will not place the network at risk. :D
