Just when you think things are going well...
WTH Afrihost. At exactly 21:00 your service went to hell! Cannot be trusted as my main provider if you cannot provide service when people play clannies. Geez. Get this fixed please!

Hi guys
We're aware of the issues, it looks to be only affecting the South IPC region - so CPT and surrounds. Our team are working on a fix.

While shaping is there it's done dynamically and based on the network load [/QUOTE]
This are bullshat afrihost suck out of there thums i have 32 accounts all on the south network so the load must be the same on all of them but they are not some of the accounts have no shapping, some have 50% some 25% and others 18% so the networkthing are an crap stori for me and when you have ping problems it never there network but over the festive season there where no problem i am busy canceling one account by one coz my 32 account are not an priority for them to look into.

There seems to be a broader problem in the South at the moment as we're seeing latency spike from multiple sources in the region. Don't think it's anything to do with shaping.
We're busy trying to find out what could be causing this
its been going on like this from the start of JAN i have opened tickets and send emails and PM everyone with this and nothing gets done only the same bullcrap the whole time your fist hops are to high it must be under 30ms and it was never under 45ms ever and it was not an problem for the 2 almost 2 years i was with you ppl and know its an problem when you switched to the MTN network.
so i don't think you can fix the problem

Surely if you know about it you should update your network status page? Isn't that what it's there for?
It's just been updated. We needed to get confirmation of the issue, but we have updated the website.
We've been seeing excellent latency and throughput in general in the South since last year, so this is definitely not the normal experience, I'm sure most people on the forum would agree
What seems to be the problem and what time did it start?
Everything I do online at present is extremely slow.

Guys guys, it's all my fault I decided to change back to AH this month and at about 9pm I made my AH account my default account in my router settings 
Oh, all the above is true, except for the bit about it being my fault
On a serious note, would this be related to the problems on Axxess that Ex_Landy_Oke is having?

Seems have started just before 9pm. We're still investigating so right now we don't have any confirmed information

Can't really comment much on that except that Axxess are probably also affected.
The South IPC is seeing high latency, I'm not sure on the cause at this stage - however our teams are working on a fix.

Hope all goes smoothly and everything's resolved soon. Working at 10pm to fix broken connectivity can only be fun.

I'm going to take a guess that someone was fiddling with Router configs.
Anyways here are my pings

We received confirmation that this was an issue on Telkom's IPC infrastructure and ISPs with IPC in the area were all affected. We're seeking further confirmation on this from Telkom.
For the moment things look to be returning to normal, would be great to get confirmation from you guys as well.
