Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

[LordPhoenix_ZA]

We have been making some network changes and we had to move some IP's around.

Please drop me a PM and I can sort it out for you.

Done.

Hardware on my side wasn't/isn't the problem

Appreciation to all those who had to suffer to get it.

Hi,

There is an outage currently. Vendor investigating.

 

[charlieharper]

Anyone else's line down?
All lights green on ONT, PPPOE connection not working.
Openserve, KZN.

 

[charlieharper]

Okay we back up again.

 

[charlieharper]

And down again.
Going to sleep.

 

[charlieharper]

Back on again this morning.

Seems not even the best router in the world can help you

Gotta say: Really do love the Afrikaans names. "Gee daar 'n skyf" Odd they didn't change GPU to GVE

I have used a lot of apps in Afrikaans, but the language pack available for Windows 10/11 takes it to the next level - I seriously got lost at times.
Thankfully hitting up start and typing the English equivalent of a setting you are after does find the right thing.

But hey, I keep reminding myself that you won't find an English computer being used in Germany or Italian - if they can do it in their own language then so should I.

Gaan lekker aan die skyf moet trek. Check bietjie hoeveel drade en handvatsels my luukse SVE van AMD het.

Do you know where the servers are located?

Do you know where the servers are located?

US I think, I think something wrong on their side as other international traffic seems fine.

Hi,

I have placed the order for you and triggered the relevant events. Please expect a call to schedule the installation soon.

Hi mate

Some progress.

Collected and installed the Huawei router today. Full green on the ONT and the Huawei but no ping. Plug my address into the Vuma site, but the Network page comes up blank so I can't obtain an object number which might be the missing element.

It may be I'm still not activated on the Vuma end but Afrihost via Whatsapp have claimed they're unable to check this for me.

Hi,

Latest feedback is that Client advised the line is already installed.

Was an installation done?

Have not confirmed such.

I had a brief call from someone at Vuma earlier in the week after your prompting. She asked if it was a new install or an activation. I had no way of confirming that, but I stated there was a Vuma branded ONT in the house. It was left at that. No further comms from Vuma since.
