Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

[ponder]

@ponder please reboot and test now

So far so good, things are really snappy now, feels like it got a speed upgrade!

Thanks, will report back if anything changes. What was the issue, I see icmp echo for 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 also working again?

Anyone else seeing packet loss to EU, 0% to London and then Amsterdam and Frankfurt is 10 and 20%?

I'm getting similar results on my side.

@sand_man, How are the local speeds? Were the shared results there via wifi?

@Afrigirl Any issues happening in Port Elizabeth ? Huge lag spikes every minute or so. Happened last night as well.

@Afrigirl Seems the cables got cut again… Everything is dead after coming back yesterday afternoon.

This is on Frogfoot in the Welgevonden Stellenbosch area.

Latest Update: The maintenance team has identified and assessed the damaged fibre. Civil works are required before repairs can commence. A civils contractor has been notified and is en route to collect the required materials, with an ETA of 13:34 PM to stores. Further updates will be shared as progress is made.

Is there a reason why for the last 6 months, the amount of sites now constantly doing captcha bot checks, and now sites blocking for bot activity due to bad IP. What is actually happening?

This is on VideoCardz. There have been others, but I can't remember them off the top of my head as I didn't care.

I've tried multiple devices and browsers, all on the same home connection. Same issue.

@Afrigirl Third day in a row, HUGE lag spikes out of no where.
