Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

We made some changes again.

Dropped Cogent completely. They are not viable if WACS is down. Dropped Openserve in JHB and CPT and are using Liquid Telecoms exclusively. Now things are looking much better in terms of latency and speed.

Please can you do pingplotter over time for like a minute and post that?

Unfortunately, we do not have any traffic moving through that link.

Hey @PBCool sort these guys out

Something appears to have gone pear-shaped. Had to activate WARP just to load this page. International looking quite shaky too:

Hi,

Yeah, not a good move by the looks of things, I'm in JHB OS/AH and things have gotten worse...
From a 125-130 ping to 250+




Think its time for a plan reversal...

Whatever you did worked...until few minutes ago, now it is back to being unusable.

 

[ZyborgRSA]

Yea, now it's completely unusable

 

[MainMeat]

Agreed: International link latency really bad. To the UK:



Speedtest also not great:

Really bad on both Openserve and Octotel. Whatever's being done is not helping. International streaming is unusable.

 

[Minazetsu]

Yea even to paris/london/frankfurt from South Coast KZN bad browser download barely downloading. This is crazy !

320 Ping Packet Loss for days instead of 185.


249 ping instead of 185 ping

Yep, also had random downloads struggling. 20mb file downloading at < 10kb/s - with WARP too

 

[Razotter]

Yup, pretty bad. KZN Openserve to UK

 

[KoolDaffy]

Any issues with slow browsing/streaming Vuma Village Pineslopes/Lonehill?
Speed test shows normal speed but browsing slow, takes forever for images to load and streaming buffering a lot.

Worked fine for a little today and now again so slow. Can't even stream on 480p.

What's going on?
Football's back this weekend. Is whatever issue's going on going to be fixed by this weekend?

 

[wingnut771]

AH:

WARP:

Oh yeah forgot about football returning. I've just run tests on dstv etc online and all seems to be streaming without buffering(KZN North Coast).

What are you getting 480p on? Have you tested other ones online?

With WACS and SAT3 down, probably going to be like this for a good while my friend. Ship only being said to get there in first week of September for fixing

I think you'd previously mentioned not having any capacity on Equiano. Is that still the case? Based on this story, sounds like that's what Liquid's migrated a lot of stuff to if I'm reading it correctly (unless that's a different division or company).
