If only it was like that in the evening.

Things should be different this evening if the migration is complete. You won't be on the POC network but the full production network (which will be like having the ocean as your private swimming pool)

It's a pool, that's inevitable

I hope this will fix the problem with social media sites being so slow in the evening.

Haven't been following much......
Do I need to switch my router back to AfriNormal for the migration?

Nope, for the moment only the Afrigreen accounts will be on the new network.

Hummercellc · Oct 15, 2015

I see I am still pointing to the same Default Gateway as before on AfriGreen, I guess no KZN users have been migrated as yet?

I was just about to post an update about that, the migration is making good progress, but the Eastern and Southern users will still be routing through the North for the moment, the Team still needs to do a bit of work on our end.

I'm assuming I've been migrated over because I'm seeing torrent speeds that I haven't seen for so so SO long

I'm assuming you are on an Afrigreen account at the moment?
