Tried bras.afrhost.com which actually responded and gave me 290ms - got a fright, anyway typo corrected:

--- bras.afrihost.com ping statistics ---
52 packets transmitted, 52 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 1.655/6.811/12.874/3.494 ms

Two chromecasts streaming DSTV+Hulu while this was going - doesnt seem high enough to half/fifth my line speed?

True. I wonder what is going on.

Ping is down to 167 to blizzard... that's lower than before WACS went down. DON'T TOUCH IT!

Same here, on openserve. Probably just delayed.

Has the advertised speed uplift been activated for anyone yet?

How do you know it's not released yet?

Openserve fibre lines stay active for up to a week in the holding pool before it gets suspended.

It don't appear so

Local speeds a bit better today but still only getting 50 down on a 100/50 line (OS). Was a full 100 this morning but as the day goes by it drops.

Seems fine there.

Hi blunt. There's a lot more demand on FTTH, this is why fibre network operators are working on upgrading the infrastructure. It should get better from here on.

Hi air, has yours been upgraded? If you are not seeing the upgrade please restart the CPE, bypass your router test directly via LAN.

Hi ZyborgRSA, let's fix the WACS and then work on fixing your ping if it goes bad again. I believe you can get better.

@AfriGuy / @AfriFella

OS CPT 100/50

ISP: Afrihost Other
Ping: 3ms
Download: 20.58Mbps
Upload: 48.94Mbps

Where does the problem lie if my pings are this good but getting a 5th of my line speed on local, tests early morning give me full line speed.

At what time of the day was the test done? Also, how many devices did you have connected? Was the test done via LAN or WiFi?

Mine has definitely not been upgraded. I'm on Vumatel. Is there another way to check?

Oh i just meant my account is still active, even though it should be cancelled .

I know there are some exclusions, can you confirm which package you are on and I will check?

I'm sorry about that Icemanbrfc, can you confirm which package you are on?
