Ipv6 isn't helping unfortuantely, still can't stream off my Drive during peak, there's others with similar issues:
Google drive mounted in Windows/Linux
Do you get charged VAT on this? I noticed today that I'm being charged Vat on top of my sub. Yeah some time ago already they sent a message saying they will now charge vat.
mybroadband.co.za
What would help in diagnosing this?
Could you also check the routing to portal.thecourierguy.co.za I cannot log in when under Ipv6, have to switch to mobile data to access.

Hi,
Yes aware of the thread. I'm also @cavedog btw. The issue is with Google unfortunately. I have done many tests but can't figure out the reason or whether google is intentionally throttling the traffic. We have a lot of capacity free and none of or peering links are congested at all.
The best would be to try the --multi-thread-streams= flag on your mount to see if that increases the speeds.
With regards to the courier guy link it seems they are using a CDN provided by Amazon and it's routing fine on my side. It might be something you need to forward on to their IT team to investigate.

The free gift is a free .co.za domain for 1 year.
Make sure the link is https://parkme.afrihost.com/ and you are good to go.

I'm very impressed with everything Afrihost and @AfriNatic, installation happened the same day within hours because he manually booked a slot for me, gave me temporary details so I can connect while waiting for the router, the router comes today, turn it on and plug in the ethernet and it automatically sets itself up with PPPOE details and the Wi-Fi name and password you choose when you order your package.

Im currently on coolideas.
The afrihost 500mb package looks really tasty and very very well priced.
Would anyone have any reservations as to why i shouldnt switch?

Oh haha, well this is a mess then because I have everything on the drive to stream off. I'm using the Android TV Kodi add on and Drive File Stream to access so can't use the rclone tricks. Opening the file in Chrome it plays without buffering but then is compressed to 1080p which defeats the point. I'll chat with you on the other thread further if I figure anything out as it's not a support issue.
I'll let TCG know, but with my experiences of their backend I don't have much hope in their IT department.

Hi,
I see quite a few reports of the same issue but there hasn't been a reported NF from Openserve yet.
Can you pm me your email so I can log a ticket for you?
Hi @AfriNatic,
Just want to add that I am also experiencing less than 1mbs speeds ( on a 100mbs line) in Montana Park area. I'm with Cool Ideas so it has to be an issue on Openserve.
