Do you guys know if there is anything going on with Openserve in the Western Cape?

0% download speed from Microsoft app (pre-loading Halo), as well as packet loss and webpages either returning as unreachable or very slow to load.

Experienced similar last night when playing Overwatch, high ping in the 220-240ms region and a tonne of packet loss making the experience very frustrating.

Thanks in advance.
 
A lot of my people in my area are complaining of speed as well



Have a look there. Seems to be an Openserve backhaul issue that is being addressed.
 
My internet is messed up...

So this weekend, I had a mate come download a PS game and whilst still a crap ton quicker than his ADSL, it still took a while on my 20mbps line. This got me thinking, if I were to change package, how long does it take to take effect? Would it be possible to go to a higher package for a day and then drop back down to the 20 for the rest of the month?
using vuma as an example: no, this is not possible, you can increase it, it will only change at midnight, but then you have to pay prorata increase for the rest of the month, you could then downgrade again, but it will only change at the start of the new month.

i'm sure all the other providers are the same if not slower to action the changes.

hope that makes sense.
 
Why, out of interest?

Better routing generally. More capacity on peering links so no chances of congestion and Afrihost peers with Cloudflare at JHB, Durban and CPT. Cloudflare uses Seacom so for people in Durban for example traffic never leaves Durban. Gets handed over at exchange in Durban onto Seacom and then to EU so lower latency.

I do believe ISPs take traffic from Durban to JHB and then it moves from there so this will help.

The international routing is much better. 173ms in League of Legends and 165ms in Paladins.

At R29 you get superior routing and with Argo you get priority access to Cloudflare CDN so when they switch it off because of capacity issues or whatever you will not be affected.

Are you in CT? I've tried warp and all my traffic hits Joburg first instead of CT.

It's bad... They need to work on it fast

How do you use warp+ on pc? I only saw the 1.1.1.1 app for phones.
