Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can can share their speed tests with the Afrihost 1Gbps up and down package with a good router, cables etc? I am on Frogfoot and using an Asus RT-AC86U with nice CAT6 cables the best speed I have seen is ~500Mbs up and down. If that is the best speed achievable then I would likely downgrade to the 500/500 package.

Thanks!

Interesting:
I upgraded to 100/50 on Openserve this afternoon.
Clientzone shows upgrade is done but speed test shows 50/50 and even usenet downloads avg 55Mb/s.
Disconnected pppoe and reconnected with the same speeds.

Hi,

Have you tried to connect directly to the ONT before and done a speedtest?

Can you send me a pm so I can have a look for you. It's possible that the network policy is not updated yet.

Yes, I noticed yesterday already. quite odd

Edit: Feels normal now and much better than yesterday
Edit 20h46: Sluggish again. latency wise.

Which is why I've added a 25/25 OS line and downgraded the ******** FF one. All WFH stuff is going thru the OS one (and there's 3 of us working) ..... and no downtime.... what a pleasure

Think I will permanently switch to my Vodacom LTE for WFH. But my lappie connects to Fibre router first after every boot, probably have to 'forget' that network.

Ja, we have 3 laptops that has "forgotten" that network :laugh: My main one is now wired to the OS router. Only downside is that I have a mesh running on the FF router, so whole house is covered. The OS one is limited in coverage (although I moved it into the passage), so if the wife decides to continue her Teams meetings while preparing dinner, she has to take her chances with FF :)
