Afrihost Pure DSL

On another note, anyone know why I can't port forward anymore? So I used to host some game servers by port forwarding of course and one day last year it stopped working. Now if I try to have someone connect to my servers, it doesn't work. The changing IP addresses isn't a problem as I just gave everyone the new IP every time it switched (like once every week or 2). Idk if it is DSL related or router or what but it's frustrating

Most of those exchanges have been decommissioned and re-routed from Openserve, Alan Paton they just straight up turned the exchange off and moved away without notice.

How do you do that with copper? People with DSL in Alon Paton just had no lines anymore? Was Telkom kind enough to cancel their lines?

We had to find out the hard way when it just vanished one day and let it go on for a month or two without it being active.
 
Anyone else been experiencing random disconnects the last few weeks?

Some yeah, and massive ping spikes at night that Openserve refused to acknowledge. I decided to switch to the Pure LTE till my fibre is live. Though of course, since placing my LTE order, the spikes and disconnects have stopped :ROFL:

It's coincided with herotel starting to go live in my area..... I am starting to think it's not coincidence.

I was thinking the same as mine started when Openserve started working in the area even though Metrofibre had completed their builds months before. Did you contact @AfriNatic ?

Let's hope it improves, but if it is getting worse you should log it. I used to get them in the mornings, around 8-11:30am but haven't had them in at least a week
 
Everything has stabilized, must really have been a town wide problem. If it magically comes back this weekend it will prove that it's an exchange related problem.
 
Well, it came back.... been randomly going off and on for weeks now. Especially over weekends.

Same thing happens to someone else on the other side of town with a different ISP.

Must be the exchange trying to cope with traffic or something..

Hi,

We should look into logging a fault again.

Just drop me a pm so we can get the fault logged.

Is there really a point? Won't the telkom guy just come around again, see it happens to work when he's there and then say he doesn't know why it does it?

Possible but that is unfortunately the starting point and them from there we will escalate as per the escalation matrix from Openserve.
 
Openserve came around to repair my vdsl link, once done he asked me if I still use the phone line and I said never.
He then told me to ask Afrihost to switch me over to PureDsl to save the R210p/m for telephone I never use.
Is this still possible?
Last I read/heard you had to cancel then reapply?

Yes so unfortunately it's a new application for Pure DSL.

I did notice that there was an memo sent about migrating legacy clients from copper connect that don't use the line to pure connect. Let me ask around a bit and let you know.

Do you have the DSL with us already?
