I'm also getting highly pissed off with this **** adsl speeds. Browsing is just terrible.
I'm on a 4mb line and it feels worse than dial-up.

This ain't "PURE INTERNET JOY".

Unhappy Afrihost customer.
 
Another night after 10, another night where it gets beyond awful for gaming ......... seriously dunno how it gets worse the later it is.

The quality of service we are getting is just terrible. I'm trying to download VLC... 1 hour to get 23mb. Serious?
 
Battlefield was fine - though that was of course played from hosted servers.

Awesomenauts - which is hosted by the player p2p style was a HORRENDOUS.

Mumble however held up fine. So thank you for that.
 
Morning Guys!

We just received news that one of our IPC links in the North is currently down, this is reducing the amount of bandwidth that we have available a bit, MTN is working with Telkom to restore the IPC as quickly as possible.

I haven't heard of Awesomenauts yet, which leads me to believe that we probably don't have a gaming profile activated and logged for it yet, let me see what I can do about that.
 
I see on the Afrihost site there is now an IPC link down in the north. This doesn't affect me but I just have to say Afriman/guy/girl/genie, holy crap you guys always seem to have a problem with something.

In this case, it is the actual Telkom infrastructure that we get from them that is down, it is not a major issue, as we are managing the available bandwidth significantly better than we have done in the past, but downloads and latencies may be a bit off of the usual.

that couldn't be why my DDO is suffering terribly could it?
 
Another quick update, the performance issue to Youtube appears to have been resolved, all the routing is now going to the correct servers in South Africa.

Thanks to giggity for taking the time to test with me and posting that very useful tutorial.
