Cant establish from the feedback if this is also affecting Eldoraigne. Disney+ (useless as a general) and Netflix, virtually impossible to watch

Should not be affecting you at all.

We have on-net Akamai caches for Disney and Netflix we get directly from JHB so there shouldn't be any issues. What does the speedtest show?
 
Speeds and latency should be better now.
Seems that after posting a problem and restarting everything, you will look like a fool. All seems ok now!
 
Morning.
I changed my router this morning and had to activate the fibre again. No issues.
I see my public IP address has changed from a 165.x to a 100.x.
What i don't get, is the IP address shown on the router and clientzone is not the same as when i check "whatsmyip".
What IP do i have to register with my VPN and DDNS provider?

Hi,

When you switch the router onnected to the ONT we allocate a natted IP to the new mac address. We do this to prevent clients from constantly switching routers and our public IP addresses from geting depleted on unused device.

I can request for a public IP to be allocated on the new router for you.

Please send me a dm with your email address so I can allocate one for you.

Morning,

We haven't received confirmation from Openserve that the outage is resolved yet however we do note that clients that were down are all back online.

Can you confirm if your connection was restored last night?

Was back, and now it's dropped at midnight. Looks like the same issue.
 
Yeah. Centurion is dead. Was on my backup Vox and it went down. Switched over to Afrihost and it’s dead. Looks like it’s affecting others as well

Lost connectivity in Durban South even.

Openserve with Telkom around 00:04.
 
Morning,

I saw a dip in traffic on the graphs but there wasn't any notices. Could have been changes being made by Openserve.

Update on this. Woke up this morning and it was fine. Both accounts. Not sure when i came back though
 
Not sure if there is something going on, but my internet wasn't working but turning on Cloudflare Warp it is working again.

So not sure if there might be something wrong with DNS
 
Putting my 2c here. Had a seamless experience signing up with Afrihost and Vumatel. Installed within 3 days in the sticks on 100Mbps line. Averaging 98Mbps constant, often times up to 110Mbps.
Only gripe was the dude at the Rivonia office who had attitude an zero customer care mentality.
But every company has that, and it may have just been a bad day for the dude - no harm, no foul.
But yeah, still give a full 10/10 for the speed and helpfulness of everyone else, even the third party that installed - super nice guys.
