Thanks, I'll take a look at this as soon as I can. -J
Massive variety, maybe. How about starting with the most popular one - UnoTelly/UnoDNS?

I bought a 4mb uncapped account on the weekend to see for myself how Netflix performs.
I can confirm Netflix sux even tho "No Shaping Applied" was active, quality would jump between 244-480, mainly 360.
Log back in to my other ISP account, 480-720, mainly 720.
So if anyone wants it (I don't see people rushing), PM me.

I think the idea may have been approached with our Network team previously, I'll follow up with AfriMan and see if anything was discussed.
From my understanding, UnoTelly has multiple DNS locations and configurations - and it becomes really tricky for us to control routing and in turn QoS once the traffic leaves our network.
Sorry to hear you've had a poor experience. From my understanding quite a few of our clients have seen positive results with the likes of Hulu/ Netflix.
Not that I want to tell you how to do things on a technical level, of course - but surely there must be a way to resolve the address that movies.netflix.com would resolve to on a daily basis (using the UnoDNS) and then adapt automatically? I don't know, just theorycrafting here.
Yes, but quite a lot have seen negative results too

Within our network I think this is more than possible. I know of one or two cases where this has been pushed through (honestly can't remember what/ when this was, but I think it was similar) but this was done via our systems for our DNS servers.
I can't comment on how it'll be technically achieved on our end, that's up to our Network team.
You're more than welcome to search the forums.
Of course. As long as they're looking into it

I very much doubt they are.
The view is already that it is difficult to control these streaming services.
What has change that will prompt them to put resources into this?

Could someone with netflix issues please try this DNS server:
197.242.94.51
It belongs to unodns
It won't work unless they are logged into an Unotelly account.
Ya, Uhmm - someone with a unotelly account then haha
my netflix (just signed up to test) works just fine? But I am on 10meg so I have a bit of headway.That IP is based in Cape Town for unotelly, so it should provide a great service!
Btw, UnoTelly's Cape Town DNS has been known to have some hiccups from time to time. The Johannesburg one is more reliable, I've found.Ya, Uhmm - someone with a unotelly account then haha

Yeah, I used Jhb as primary, CT as secondary.
Oh! Didn't know that. How about the London one? That's the most direct overseas one for afrihost?

Anyone else experiencing problems with the shaping report in ClientZone?
It seems to be updating rather late. Currently no shaping applied according to the report yet I know I am since all downloads max out at 50kBps. :/
