Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

Hi, I understand your frustration, and I apologise for the inconvenience. Please send me a PM with your email address or account number.
Will do, I have pm'd you previously when it was down over a weekend, but your reply took even longer than it took zoom to reconnect the line so I'm suuuuuper positive about this process...
 
Hi [mention]AfriNatic [/mention] [mention]Afrigirl [/mention]

YouTube is giving problems again , stats for nerds speed is at 1.8mbps on a 100/100 line barely loading 720p currently

Any issues currently ?

Hi

Sorry for the late reply

No issues to report since yesterday morning. Is it only YT giving issues again? I suspect there might be something else wrong here and it's just showing like a YT issue because you are using that more or watching higher quality videos.

Hi no problem Afrinatic

It’s particularly in the evening or during peak times k have YouTube problems it’s only YouTube that has slower speeds sometimes can’t stream 480p on YouTube but Netflix will load instant at 4K HDR

Tried some other services during that time to rule out line issues , tried My plex server on Oracle cloud JHB and maxes out my line at 100mbps no buffering Dstv now and even Crunchyroll from London CDN almost maxes my line with Full HD streaming

Sounds like a google problem I guess cause everything else works fine all devices connected via cable direct to router

Can you try to grab a screenshot of the Ip serving the traffic when you start experiencing the issue?
 
Network down twice in 2 days….

After this weeks bout of load shedding, it’s just not stable.

Not sure if you can see anything on your side.

Fibre Provider Clear Access.

Vumatel on/off constantly in East London (Beacon Bay) this morning
Morning, there is area outage listed for the area. Please send me a PM with your email address so we can check if it is not an isolated fault.
 
Hmm seems to have stabilized itself after a bit. Not bad, only few minutes hiccup I've had on fibre now versus my old DSL going down for 10-20min every day randomly.


Yeah I've noticed some weird slowdown on image loading on imgur, and now and then sites seem to take just a hint longer than usual... but speed test returns full speed, no issues, also not seeing any dropped packets on traces so I haven't been able to isolate it.
