What I'd do is auth with the Telkom guest account and run the same test. Chances are you'll see the same latency - keep those results and get Telkom to investigate. They'll have the info on hand and hopefully have a quick fix on things.

Is there any reason why I have increased latency to LoL (EUW)? Yesterday and today I have aboout 30-40ms higher than usual.

Edit: Just finished a game now and it was back to normal. I will check tomorrow and see if it jumps up again.

Please let me know. I don't see any increases in general latency on my monitoring, but it could be specific to the LOL server. The more tests you can run, the better :(
 
Okay so I just signed up for that free 1 gig account. Openweb is going pear shaped again and they have literally abandoned the forum because of unhappy customers here. Shocking to say the least. So I am CONSIDERING moving back if Afrihost will have me...

I know Afrihost has its problems currently but let's see how this goes... Afripeople, any ETA on when all you capacity will be allocated and these issues resolved?

Do you stream at all?
 
Only youtube, quite a bit of youtube on my ipad actually.

Then we tend to do a fair bit of downloading and gaming as well.

Youtube is local so will be fine. AH just have issues with International streaming, so if you need to Netflix, Twitch and Hulu rather look at other options.

It's nice to know that our 1GB accounts come in handy, even when you decide to explore other options.

Will you drop me a PM? I'll give you more details on what's happening with us :)

I think that's not usually the case, but seems to happen mostly when demand is high and there's contention. When we upgrade it should be normal - that's been the case with prior upgrades.
 
im continuing to have issues with my connection so much that i dont see the light at the end of this tunnel.
on a 4mb line and speedtests on saix.net show less than 1mbps - cant watch a youtube video, even when turbocharge is activated.
help me if u can, cause your guys on the other end have been unable to.

i even got telkom to check my point (and change it), but no help whatsoever.

This doesn't sound great at all :(
If you see the same results across the guest account too it indicates there's a problem on the line/ exchange. What's your latency like?
 
Ive been with afrihost now for a week or so
I had heard good things from friends in the past ( switched from telkom because of their excessive throttling)
First 2 days were great and now im thinking of cancelling , the speeds are horrendous.
