Hi All

Long time no chat here!

Does anybody know why my Afrihost Octotel line 'disassociates' about once a month. I'll get home to dead internet, after which I have to plug my Octotel line directly into my laptop, 'activate' through `activate.afrihost.com`, and then plug it back into the router and re-activate there too?

It's not that difficult, but becomes a bit finicky and results in my home CCTV setup moving into 'offline' mode for a few hours until I'm back home.

Just wondered if it's something I can prevent in the future?
 
@Afrigirl @AfriNatic
Are the MFN MPLS issue you mentioned on the 1Gbps connections in PTA East/Centurion still around?

My connection is going up and down, and when I can connect, I'm getting slow speeds (slower than my 500Mbps Openserve connection was):

Please assist urgently, as I am now switching my home network back to my still active Vox/Openserve connection, as it is more stable.

Very disappointed that I have made the switch to Afrihost/MFN at this point.

Can you connect directly to the ONT and install the speedtest.net app.

Take a screenshot of the results with the adapter open showing 1Gbps and send it in a pm so we can start a ticket so long and see where we can go with this issue.
 
On Afrihost with Openserve 100/50 line and its completely dead.

Bayview, in Stranfontein, Cape Town.

The Openserve Nokia box, has a red light, Alarm, that's on.

Anyone know what's up?

Edit: I have rebooted both devices without any joy.

Please drop me a pm so I can have a look for you?
 

It's an outage already logged and technician enroute to attend.

Strandfontein Mix ISAM 03 -- - The Core Network correlator has detected a lower than usual traffic pattern on this device , BBAT is currently investigating - Customer ref: 784178
 
Much appreciated, thank you.

I can imagine there's no ETA for completion on this one.

Will have to relocate for work.

Thank you again for always assisting, even at this weird time.

If @Afrigirl, @AfriGuy or any rep could please give an update on this incident?

I know that @AfriNatic is now off duty at the moment.

Fibre line is still down.
Would just like any information where possible please.

Thank you
