Edit: Different issue seems I am going via JHB for things like Netflix ping in fast.com is 16ms I am in durban

Might be IP related as I have had the same IP from last year and was set to Durban now its Johannesburg
YT also started buffering for me which is when I did a ping plot to my usual test EU destination, and then switched over to cloudflare until the issue clears up.
 
Any issues with Prime Video and Disney+tonight, on the Afrihost network? Got my cousin bitching about streaming quality on a 250/125 line.
Netflix is streaming perfectly.

Netflix is streaming perfectly.

I've got problems with Disney+. But I realised I have some problems with overseas locations. Afrihost on Openserve.

100 Mbps line. Local is fine. Getting 80 Mpbs to London.
 
Anyone else having spinning white circle when trying to watch YouTube videos at 1080p? This is driving me around the bend having to wait a minute to start watching a YouTube video on 500Mbps fibre connection.

Hmmm, I wonder. I was having issues last night, but I'm with WA on MFN. I wonder if they're related.

Was getting extremely bad download speeds too on some international things.
Can you do a trace to the same destination as mine, maybe they use same upload provider (cogneto)? I was getting a lot of loss upstream, but it cleared at around 11pm.

@Afrigirl @AfriNatic any word from Evotel about making the double speed promo permanent or no?
I see the promo ends today so i assume speeds will revert back to normal from tomorrow onwards?

Hello.

Yes, speeds will automatically be downgraded to the client's standard package from tomorrow.
 
@Afrigirl @AfriNatic MFN 500/500. Where did my upload speed run off to?
