Switched to Webafrica and i'm flying again, afrihost buggered
 
Just heard from folks at Century City that it's a Telkom issue, their ADSL is directly with Telkom.

Yes you will, Telkom/saix network issue, cape town IPC traffic now re-routed via JHB.
Decreased performance will be experienced until the problem is resolved.

Received sms message from AH

Jip JHB went down. I went from 644KBps to 0. Seems to be back up. @ Afrihost - Can we get an explanation?
 
We know that there is a problem in Cape Town. Telkom have said that this is affecting IPC's in the area. We've rerouted traffic for now, to minimise the impact. Most Cape Town users should be getting decent service - probably not what they've bee used to over the past few days.

We're waiting for Telkom to give us an update, their Tech's are on site looking at the problem.
 
re-routed??

Just got an SMS from Afrihost, issue has been escalated to Telkom/SAIX... we seem to be ok now... hopefully problem is resolved!

Latency is normal(+- 30ms)... but dropping a few packets...

Obviously all issues are Cape Town only issues, or at the very least it's impossible for an issue to affect Johannesburg, so if you think you're having problems in Johannesburg, then you must be hallucinating. Only the poor, persecuted people of Cape Town get to experience ADSL problems.
