does anybody know if below statement is 100% true (openserve line) (received this from afrihost support)?

Good evening ****

I trust this mail finds you well.
My apologies for any inconvenience caused

Please note that our fibre services are provisioned behind Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT), and we are currently unable to provide a public IPv4 address or remove CGNAT on this service.

As a result, hosting services that require direct inbound access from the internet, such as a home server, will not be possible using a standard fibre connection.
Do not hesitate to contact us If you ever need any assistance
Have a great day ahead.
Kind regards

Hi,

That is not entirely correct. With Openserve, only the static IP service is subject to CGNAT.

For Openserve, we assign a NATed static IP address. The public-facing IP remains static and will never change. However, the IP address assigned to your router's WAN interface will be a private 10.x.x.x address and may change each time the PPPoE session reconnects.

All traffic destined for your static public IP (169.x.x.x) is forwarded to the private WAN IP currently assigned to your router. As a result, there are no restrictions on incoming traffic, and no ports are blocked due to the NAT configuration.

In short, you will not see the static 169.x.x.x IP address on your router's WAN interface. Instead, you will see a 10.x.x.x address, while the public IP remains fixed and reachable from the internet.

Please let me know what assistance you require.
 
Hi @Afrigirl,

Is there currently an issue with Octotel? Status pages don’t show anything but I lost connectivity around 06h30 this morning.

Hi.

From the pingplotter results, no loss to the destination.
Please get a screenshot of a Steam download attempt showing the download speeds and speedtest.net results. Which other sites are you struggling with?

I'm too tied up to run tests now and in office so cannot download atm but after two reboots this is still what it looks like -

And its still loading minutes later btw its pretty much dead.

And playing POE2 last night after 8 was a nightmare lag spikes every 2 seconds.

All was well until last night.

Not being nasty but the second I suspect throttling to Steam I am changing ISP.
 
Content serving on steam's store definitely degraded. https://shared.fastly.steamstatic.com

Downloads seem ok now so maybe that was just a hiccup. I've had intermittent issues with youtube, but nothing like as bad.

All devices on my network having issues with steam, and when I switch to telkom mobile the problem goes away, so... definitely seems connection related.
