Any one else getting major packet loss on Vumatel tonight? Was playing fine earlier but once it gets around 6pm packet loss seems to creep in sadly
I'm not aware of any general issues except for the few areas that were giving issues earlier. Maybe you can capture the serve IP and run an extended MTR to see where the loss is coming from.
It seems to have disappeared since about 8pm. If it persists I'll grab an IP from a custom server as Valve has hidden server IP's for official game servers AFAIK, but hoping it was just a hiccup somewhere that has been sorted out.
@AfriNatic can you maybe assist? We ordered wifi from Afrihost about 2 weeks ago and paid for router and installation. Received the router after 2 days, but didn't hear a word yet from Afrihost/Frogfoot regarding installation. We were promised that installation will take place in the first 2 weeks, tomorrow hits the 2 weeks mark, but still no word from anyone regarding installation. We are really disappointed. We haven't even started with them yet and already we are experiencing very bad service. We are considering canceling everything and move to a different provider because bad service like this is not acceptable.

What is happening to routing? See tracert below is hoping all over the show...

Normally tracert to afrihost .com returns in around 5ms-7ms
Also was experiencing severe packet loss around 1pm today. Was busy in a conference call so I could not spend time troubleshooting. Really guys... the AH service is unreliable
This is a Cloudflare issue. It's affecting all ISPs.

Still an issue?

Does Re-routed mean there is a problem?
Yes unfortunately Cloudflare is rerouting to either Durban or JHB.
If traffic is re-routed, then understandingly there will be increased ping time. But not dropped packets?
Morning, Anyone know of an outage in Roodepoort? Puma Ariel. Trying to log a call but still holding hehe
Hi. Thanks. They posted the issue on the AH page. Was a Vuma outage in the area. All fixed now (was down for about an hour or so). ThanksOops sorry I missed your message.
Did you get assistance? I would like to help. Drop me your clientzone email please.

Anyone have issues with Vumatel/Afrihost last night - I am in Gardens/Cape Town? Local seems fine this morning, but international is horrendous.
back to normal now(https://www.speedtest.net/result/9870097724), but last night and this morning, was horrendous.Can you provide me with some speedtests with examples. I don't see any general issues on our or Vumatel network so might be something that we need to report.
