Err, not complaining but:



100/50 yet:







I've got 100Mb upload? Anyone else noticing this?

Looks to me like you might be on the 200Mbps profile but either the account(pppoe) or the ethernet is limited to 100Mbps. If not then I'm surprised why you get 100Mbps upload. I doubt Openserve made a mistake.
 
DELETE THIS POST.

Haha I can't, my user permissions have been borked for years so I can't edit or delete my posts...

How DARE you sire, I do NOT run 100Mb ethernet!!!!

I've no idea what's going on, definitely on 100/50 at Afrihost, definitely wasn't like this originally but I now have 100 upload.
 
Hey guys, looking for a new ISP and I told myself I'd never touch AH again but options are quite limited so I'm contemplating giving them another chance.

Can somebody in Cape Town just do me a favour and post a traceroute to 145.253.248.206 (speedtest server in Frankfurt).

Thanks!

Thank you! That's perfect!
 
Thank you! That's perfect!

Just one thing to keep in mind, there are routing issues atm on AH where the path is very inefficient to some servers.

Some examples:

Interesting, looks like AH having an issue with this one too which is odd because it's an AWS host - the latency should be closer to 155-160ms in the ideal circumstance.

Thanks! Which VPN is this?
 
Hey guys, looking for a new ISP and I told myself I'd never touch AH again but options are quite limited so I'm contemplating giving them another chance.

Can somebody in Cape Town just do me a favour and post a traceroute to 145.253.248.206 (speedtest server in Frankfurt).

Thanks!

OpenServe 20/10 in N Subs. I was also very wary of AH but it's been fantastic.
