No idea

To my knowledge, Telkom doesn't use seacom. And Afrihost mentioned that they don't use seacom.

I thought Afrihost uses IS, and IS has capacity on IS?

Afrihost only uses IS for parts of their hosting environment. Their DSL/Fibre network is separate.

Telkom does have some capacity on Seacom, for redundancy purposes.

That makes sense. Thanks.

Seems fine tonight. No streaming/buffer issues any more here.

Internet crawling again tonight. 4 speed tests and all of them show 1MB up and 0.5MB down on a 10MB Uncapped Account.

go to live chat and ask for a port reset, then do a full power cycle (unplug all cables, wait and restart...)

Surely the port is independent of the ISP?

When you swap ISP the port resets usually.

I was under the impression the port is a purely Telkom thing and would affect all ISP's.

Now you sound like a Telkom help desk agent reading from a script.

it's 'cos I've heard it so many times!!

 

[MickZA]

go to live chat and ask for a port reset, then do a full power cycle (unplug all cables, wait 5 mins and restart...). Phone back if you still have a problem.

... fixed that for you

Mine is doing exactly the same. As soon as 8PM hits something over at Crystal Web happens and then until roughly 11pm I can't even stream 480p on a 10MB Uncapped Account. This has been happening for the past 5 days now. It's unacceptable. It's not my PORT, it's not my LINE... it's a CRYSTAL WEB problem.

They are trying to convince me it's my router now after blaming everything else.
