Hi @bradza and @Smiley_lauf. Please be on the lookout for mail from us later this week. It will explain how this will work and which clients qualify based on participating FNOs.

And so no news from Afrihost as yet...the week is long.

There has been mails sent but only to the following clients : Vumatel, Frogfoot, Link Africa FTTH.

Nothing on the rest unfortunately

So another 2 month wait for the cable break to be fixed, and garbage internet during the lockdown. My downloads were coming down at 670KB/sec this morning. Thoroughly regretting not risking the transfer during the lockdown. And not a word from AH or even any indication they're aware of it. WTF happened to you guys, @AfriMan ?

too late, too close to month end, but good move tho, no point paying for a fast line.

Yeah--will do for next April. I suspect the prices are actually going up, so need to ration and rationalize. Times are tough.

Will the warp settings used during the last break still work? Tried it, but can't load anything. With Nord to an SA server I can manage up to 40Mbps depending on with server I choose

Yeah Telkom is saturating EASSY links. Today is going to be a tough day for anyone on Telkom, Afrihost, Axxess, Webafrica without a decent VPN.

You getting better latency than me obviously because you are in KZN then hops onto Seacom but your line or something looks messed up. A lot of jitter.

Speed test to Vox London via warp gives me same as AH, around 3Mbps down

Because Vox will be the transit provider. Vox does peer with CF so rather use another speedtest server

Proxar gives 155.... I can live with that almost 10 and still no AH presence....
