My experience today, high latency and slow speed. Got to love Afrihost and Frogfoot

@AfriGuy and @AfriNatic
Connection just randomly dies and Wi-Fi and Ethernet shut off as well and router (Huawei AX3) shows red light however all lights are green on ONT except for Ethernet, seems the router is dropping the connection as I had to restart it

Any ideas or is this a faulty router or is the ONT dropping the Ethernet connection
 
Am I the only one with a dog slow connection tonight? Everything feels like it's running on a 10mbps line, and not gigabit!! WTF??
 
Even mine felt sluggish, 100/50 VumaReach. Speedtests are full speed tho. But the experience "felt" sluggish
 
After my tests requested by support to solve my speed upgrade issue, I'm now blessed with this, MFN , Glenwood DBN:

Local speed tests are normal for me too but it's not translating into real world performance. Urgh!!!!
Anyone notice issues with PSN. Can speed test to almost max line speed for download but upload fails every time and when checking for updates on games I’m getting a server time out type of error. “Cannot connect to the server within the time limit”

In fact. Streaming in general is just unstable. DSTV Now will log in. List the channels and what’s playing but pick a channel and it loads for ever. Eventually get a “We’re sorry. Something went wrong error”

Netflix same thing. After 10 seconds. “Cannot play title error” but menu and everything else loads.

Very weird behavior tonight.

To be fair DSTV has always been dog poop for me. Always. Without reason or exception, on any network. its a terrible benchmark of any kind of performance.
Seldom have any issues except for now. Currently streaming NZ v India without any issues... Connected to my neighbours 20mbps cool ideas account. Afrihost dead in the water.

@AfriGuy any network issues you aware of?
 
Day 4 after upgrading 50/50 to 100/100 on Metro Fibre Network, DL speed still not resolved.

Sorry bro. My dstv now just started working. Maybe your download will too?
:laugh: I like your positive vibes, if only they had any effect. I think the problem in my case is that MFN doesn't know their arse from their elbow. Maybe I should upgrade to 200/200 and see what happens, or downgrade to 25/25 and maybe I'll get a free 50mb line, who knows with these okes.
