Afrihost POC Network - Afrigreen Feedback

[Gavin107]

Oh dear. Are you guys sure you are ready to load this network up tomorrow? This is my 10Mbps line running on Afrigreen at the moment.

The new Durban IPC seems to have had little effect or am I mistaken?

haha, that's my gaming server.

I mean streaming has been excellent don't get me wrong
I guess it was just a blip because it's running smoothly now, will update you if things go awry.

Awesome

 

[AfriMan]

input lag is how long it takes for a command to register. Basically we talking bout ping...

how do i see in game latency on XBOX ONE?

Good question. Clearly Gian needs to buy me an Xbox One

Let me see if any of my colleagues know the answer to that one.

I look at your results as the best result that someone can have on Afrigreen

 

[AfriMan]

I have no Internet connection at all, using my mobile to send this message

Not cool. I saw it came back a while later, but drop me a PM so I can see what happened. AFriGreen never dropped in general to my knowledge

Oh, and here is the trace route. Pings all good but what are those timeouts? With such good latency why is the throughput less than 10% of line capacity?

Afrigreen not performing as well today as the last few days.

Downloads slightly bit slower today. Browsing while downloading (issue that I was having before) is now back too. Can't stream videos on Facebook, Vimeo or youtube while download is running.

Edit*

Just tried watching video on vimeo with no download running and I can't even watch video without pausing it and letting it buffer. A 2minute video has taken me 15 minutes to watch.

Traceroute and speed tests all look fine though.

What are you general connection stats like? We're not really making changes to the network, the guys are mostly prepping for cutover.

It was a warm up round.

The Durban IPC is live and should be working well. That's definitely not looking good. Will check in with the team

 

[AfriMan]

Having an excellent internet day today, thanks to the dumb protests I am stuck at home all day.
Getting about 170ms latency LoL EuW, downloaded Smite updates at full speed. Good day so far on Afrihost.

Nice

 

[AfriMan]

Yay, my international ping dropped by about 20+ ms... now just under 200ms to an Amsterdam server.

That's better than a kick in the you-know-whats

OK so apparently there’s an advanced network menu somewhere under network on the settings tab

@ AfriMan

Why is there a difference in speed between the different speed test sites?

Thanks Afriman. Best to get to the bottom of the problem before a whole lot of people turn up on the same network.

Just run a SAIX speedtest which gives a similar result:

Last Result:
Download Speed: 709 kbps (88.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 480 kbps (60 KB/sec transfer rate)
Latency: 22 ms

the advanced option is only for network settings like auto network or manual settings. There is no option that has to do with in game latency.

Sent you a PM.
