Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

@AfriNatic

Has the Frogfoot lines been upgraded yet?

I've been getting a consistent 23 Down and 31 Up for the past 2 days.

Any idea why it's not 30 Down?

Should be 30/30

Just send me your clientzone email via pm again let me have a look if I can see why.

new install?

new install?

Yes

 

[blunt]

Yes

you had any issues where the low upload has hampered your download / streaming performance? eg: uploading something while streaming

Not that I had noticed, and that's with 4 mobile devices, a pc and 2 laptops connected (but obviously not all active at the same time necessarily).

But I was downloading something over the weekend, with at 2 devices also streaming, but that was ALL download, so yeah.

Would have to test it with a large upload while streaming to be sure if there are issues or not, but it is not something I do regularly.

ok cool. i pay for my parents line and am downgrading them to 30/3 since they really don't need 30 upload - as long as their streaming's good then it's all good; dealing with the odd buffer while uploading a gmail attachment is not going to be a problem (if it would even cause a buffer).

Should work just fine for them. I don't feel the need for 30 upload right now either, will upgrade if it becomes and issue.

In the week, or just over, that I've been using the 30/3, have had no buffering issues that I've noticed, or heard of.

Working fine for me. You should be more specific. Where are you? What fibre network are you using?

I'm in Kraaifontein, Cape Town on the Octotel network.

Looks like there's a Octotel fibre backhaul issue again. Well, to the node you're connected to.

Hey,

There is a major outage on the Octotel network currently.

It's not on the Afrihost network though but Octotel has informed us that they are working on the issue.

We have loaded a notification and sent SMS messages to client. The SMS system is still busy sending the messages.

Afrihost Network Status

See the status updates of our DSL, Mobile and Hosting networks, what's affecting them - if anything, and what the cause is.

I have your details.

This might be due to the new Mac address that has been allocated a natted IP address.

But why doesnt it affect my D-link? and how do I fix it?

I sent you a pm.

I don't see a DHCP lease for the Huawei. Which means the Huawei was not mapped. If you get a WAN IP address of 100. you have a natted IP address.

Yes the WAN IP of the huawei is 100.
