and the shitty speed/instability is back:

My speeds seem pretty normal. Wife and kid are watching Netflix in the lounge and I am watching Season 4 of the Man in High Castle on laptop. Pretty much max speed.
 
Don't know if asked already, but can you get a static ip on Pure Fibre?

It's been asked before I think and Afriman said no. I find this strange because Axxess has it for a R35 monthly fee you get a static ip.

Strange, any penalties involved if moving to Axxess?

How is Afrihost compared to CISP. You have a 200Mbps line on both right.

They are pretty much equal at this point when it comes to connection, pricing and hopefully support (from what I can see Afrihost support is pretty good lately). I forgot to test international performance but that will be unfair because of CISP running a TCP accelerator.
Both of my physical connections are Ax88u (Asus merlin) routers however I tested the Afrihost connection via my phone while the Cool Ideas one was tested on my PC.

@Afrihost, are yall having issues on the MF network? A couple of zones are down wrt internet.

From the ONT/router the ont is getting an error as “PPPoE dialup failed”
 
@AfriMan are you guys having peering or congestion issues on certain links tonight? Look at how the ping on my last 2 hops suddenly increases (they are normally both on around 12ms)

742329

Between 169.1.21.201 and 196.10.140.198 something is going wrong.

Also look at some of the middle hops are extremely bad here on a traceroute to JHB:
742333

Also notice how the speedtest to Telkom SAIX server in CPT was perfect:


And are horrible to all other servers (all to Speedtest servers in Cape Town):

That latency and download is bad compared to normal


And here is a speedtest to a JHB server:


And a speedtest to your JHB speedtest server:


All tests were via a gigabit ethernet connection directly connected to the router and I'm on Frogfoot 100/100mbps in PE.

I had this exact same issue last Sunday during peak hours

As soon as the congested peak time period is done speedtests to these servers are normal and traceroutes are normal again:
742365




My previous tests show that this couldn't have been a frogfoot congestion problem again as I always got full speed and the normal latency when testing to the SAIX Cape Town speedtest server?

Not a afrihost fan , but this time could be frogfoot related

FrogFoot performance in Port Elizabeth 18h00 to 22h00

I was wondering who else is finding this: Between about 18h00 to 22h00 each night, the download performance on FrogFoot fibre is just simply atrocious. Using the "Netflix" tester: https://fast.com/# on Monday night at 20h32 on my 100 Mbps down and up link I got 4.9 Mbps down (and 77 Mbps up)...

Hmm then could be wrong about frogfoot the culprit

I'm not aware of any general issues last night. Might be difficult for our NOC to check if the issue is not happening right now. Can we check in this evening if you are still having this issue?

If the issue is on our network, it will most likely manifest across all providers. The only provider which is a little different is Openserve, where we still use IPC. Frogfoot should be DHCP.
