International seems to be dying at the moment. Even gmail is a struggle

Yup, international has gone to the dogs

Every time I switch to an Afrihost account (end of the month), I realise just how good the performance from Telkom Internet really is. There's ALWAYS some issue with Afrihost with regards to speed or latency or both.

 

[AfriMan]

We've got a problem on international speeds, which is also impacting general latency on the network. We've got all our people dedicated to sorting this out. We'll post more info as it comes in, but sounds like service is in the process of being restored.

 

[ClintonExsteen]

hahaha speedtest.mybroadband can't even do an international ping.... woe is us...

 

[PsyWulf]

All good,let us know when we can swop back to our Africounts

[ClintonExsteen]

Well ping is now down to 240ms on international, D/L the same under 1MB on a 4MB line, WoW works fine for dailies...

 

[AfriMan]

Service should be mostly back to normal now. I'm still waiting for a final report but it seems like all services are responding well again

 

[Sinbad]

IPC looks broken now :/

 

[Sinbad]

And, back up again

 

[Sinbad]

[ogchucky]

Doesn't look like the problem is sorted, Afri vs IS

[CrzWaco]

Tried playing Guild wars 2 but the pings are just so unreliable. one moment is in the 300 then next its 900 and it jumps all over the place as if I was on a bad wireless connection.

Also have had telkom tech out 5 times in the last 4 weeks and they tell me everything looks fine.

 

[ClintonExsteen]

things were going super and actually better than they had been had sub 200ms pings from CPT earlier... now we back to 800ms +

 

[kripstoe]

Yip, things are not optimal. Cannot stream low quality Youtube without catching up to the buffer.
