Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

Streaming hulu just fine here. OS CPT (have been for around an hour)

If I can chime in. I have posted results a while back. But during peak times if you could run cmd and do the whole "ping www.afrihost.com -n 30" and for other sites like news24 or even 8.8.8.8

Between 5 and 10pm I get about 15-30% loss across all tests. Speeds are slow (50/80) on a 100/100 line and then ping is reasonable but a tad higher than normal.

Yeah looks like China routes although the Liquid Telecoms and China Telecoms route was way lower latency wise.

Thanks, yeah, always get freaked when I spot China in an internet route, first time I've spotted this though, usually it's Hurricane or L3. On a possibly related note, can you access twitter? Struggling here but downdetector says its up.

yeah, quite a bit lower, i remember reading about 200ms.

But it's just for Asia roues. Most still going via London or France to EU and NA

155 - 160ms. I think I posted in this very same thread.

Twitter works fine my side. What DNS are you using? Might be DNS related

using Cloudflare, working now but switched to VPN. At least its back now

yeah, i was just being overly generous.

 

[bradza]

yeah what made me concerned was of reports earlier that in China some messages on Covid were removed, so wondered after seeing those changes if something was happening here now, at least vpn sorting it though, can view those threads again.

Also having issues accessing twitter on both android app and website

 

[sand_man]

Twitter working now. Use Afrihost default dns but tried google dns which made no difference. I suspected Afrihost as on mtn mobile data I had no issues reaching twitter.

For European side is very slow or not accessible. Anyone?

 

[Cav5034]

Still getting loss on my side and as per the norm international is non existent. SADV sent a guy to my house today to test an issue that exists only during peak periods (noted to them many times over email) so they claiming its not their problem... going to flip my lid if these oaks close this ticket again.

I am at the point where I do not care who is at fault here but both parties need to be involved in solving the issue as AH doesn't have anyone local to send out to test my line after hours...

 

[DreamKing]

Just activated the account and only has 6mbps for a 10mbps account that is not very good.
