You make it sound like Afrihost is the first company to run an ISP business and you are busy inventing the internet. My point was that those technologies exist and are implemented by thousands of ISPs across the globe. Maybe you should rebrand your "Afrihost POC" then to "Afrihost limited lab-test". To me a proof-of-concept should be something which is run for a predetermined time (in your case you said "a few months") to achieve specific goals/KPIs. During the POC you would then attempt to understand viability of your solution and isolate technical issues.

My question is really: How come other ISPs manage to get it right and you can not ever since you joined MTN (but now using Neotel face the same issues, which possibly means that it is not a core-network issue with the backbone provider, but rather an issue with your own network topology).

I had the deepest respect for the innovative Afrihost 3 years ago, but I think you have lost all credibility due to the lack of leadership and transparency. I find that a company like VOX has not just become innovative but also disruptive in the ISP space and is executing their business plans with solid strategies and incredible technical customer service (something AH used to have years back). I would have expected that almost 4 months into your POC your executive team had reached out to your customers, but everyone seems to ignore that elephant in the room.

So, What are the bets that this will all go up in flames... Literally? :D
 
Don't get me wrong:

The DSL network has been running OK overall (with the occasional big problem here and there that we have worked through)

It's been getting the job done.

Really?
You have to hand it to this guy - Getting us plebs to test his poor-performing POC and still pay full price every month.

I hope not... Not sure if I can handle another stressful month... :P

Seriously though, all the work put into the Afrigreen PoC will definitely pay dividends when it comes to rolling out the production network.
 
For what its worth ....

Switched back over to AG last night.

The MTN network was horrible, but AG seems to be giving me better latency results.

At least you will enjoy your Christmas holiday even more.
I recommend a remote game farm with no Cell or Internet coverage :)

I'm actually going to lock myself into an isolation tank for a week, just leave the whole world behind.... :p

Thanks for the update, MTN was actually better for me last night than Afrigreen... But this will soon all change.

Hi AfriGenie,
Can you please fix latency to Wargaming EU servers?

Any attenuation at that level certainly isn't good... And I have a feeling if the sync is set any higher the attenuation is going to get a lot worse. :(

Whats the solution. According to my router max downlink sync is about 6mb i'm on a 4mb

Just received Gian's email detailing the migration of all clients to Afrigreen in October.

What happened to Afriblue?

Im not able to post the question on the http://www.afrihost.com/site/newsroom/view/new-network-announcement link as it states that the form has expired :confused:

Would you mind trying to refresh that page and trying to post again?

AfriBlue was tested internally, but it didn't really progress beyond that much. Afrigreen offered up significantly more benefits in the short and longer terms.
