Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

[JustJack]

Thanx @Afrigirl
Will have to leave that for a while until I get home and fire up the inverter.
Power still out in our area (with the obligatory - "cant fix as the striking workers are preventing repairs!")

@Afrigirl
Just connected. All back to normal thank you kindly!

 

[charlieharper]

is it just me or does certain CDN's seem busted? Afrihost, Openserve, KZN.
Did a reboot, and restarted router, no diff. Get full 150mbps on a speedtest though.
Eg, having issues with Slack not loading images, and even some basic things around MyBB doesn't serve assets.

RIP.

 

[SlowInternet]

My fibre with Openserve and Afrihost just went down and I have nointernet

RIP.

I see downdetector is reporting issues but our youtube caches are pushing traffic.

Drop me a pm so I can check if the is a ticket logged for the outage.

I just turn warp on these days when things stop working.

 

[AfriNatic]

BTW our capacity on Equiano went live and we have routed clients accordingly. Cape Town is back to 145ms CPT <> LON

London ping is back to normal for me

Well, YT was buffering earlier this afternoon so I turned warp on which fixed it.

I haven't bothered to switch back yet.

 

[wingnut771]

Anyway, I've switched back now and all's good.

 

[ThinkCars]

What is happening with the COD MW2 profile not loading? Is there a solution to fix this? I was the one who brought this up when I found I get instant prile load if I use Vodacom hot spot. My fibre was down for a few days, so I was forced to use my Vodacom hotspot for a few days and the only problem was high latency, making it nearly impossible to play.

Have you found out what is causing the COD MW2 profile loading problem only on Afrihost?

Is there a solution?

 

[x7razor]

For me warp+ is the only way to play and get past the disconnection notices and the loooong profile loading

I must say I am impressed. I’m getting latency of 145ms to Lisbon from JHB.

The first 2 weeks with Afrihost have been amazing!

Edit: I’m actually wrong. Getting pings of 140ms. Insane.

Would there be any benefit to Durban users ?

 

[Packet-Kollector]

Would there be any benefit to Durban users ?

Likely not, it goes up west coast.

Yes it's about ~139ms from JHB Core to Lisbon on our new Liquid Equiano express route So some traffic might still go via EASSy on the East Coast due to traffic volumes we cannot send all traffic via this express route.

 

[AfriNatic]

Would there be any benefit to Durban users ?

For KZN the lowest latency route is still EASSy or Equiano up the East Coast so KZN has reached the lowest pings it can for now.
