@wingnut771 Thanks for the test. I have also been having some weird trouble like that.
Out of curiosity, what's your MTU size. I am currently playing around with mine, it's been left on default since I received my router from Afrihost.

1500 for vumatel trenched.
Try changing it to 1480 and test again. I'm still tweaking mine but changing it made one helluva difference both local and international

@wingnut771 Weird, I changed my MTU back to 1500 and tested the same tests as you and there is a difference between 1500 and 1480 for me.
Well as long as your line is working as you expect it to then that's all that matters I guess.
Thanks for double checking with me.

Nothing yet.
No official comms yet but upgrades have started on the 24th already. Should be done by latest 10th May. Valid for 3 months. Afrihost is giving the upgrades for free.
Some clients reported upgrades already.
This is probably having people randomly restarting their routers just in case
@AfriFella Please check DM's...
Does anybody know if people on the 8/5mbps fibre package from Afrihost are also eligible for the speed upgrade? The announcement only mentions the 10/5mbps and above packages.

Nice, congrats. Did you do anything on your side, like turning the ONT on/off or did it just happen?

My 40mbit (Openserve) line also just upgraded to 100mbit....
Had to restart ONT and did router just incase as well.... timing was a bit off, as I was IN A MEETING with the office.... but glad I got now....
Good sales pitch this as well, once they make you used to the faster speed, once the free period is over, good chance a lot of people will upgrade anyway!
