I'm not sure about last night, only noticed the issue connecting from vodacom today, but connectivity from my cool ideas connection still seems good

Hi @Jade @ Absolute Hosting, are VPS machines down at the moment? Can't access ours for the past 10 minutes?
Best,

Best,

No issues at the moment - please log a ticket and we can assist
I suggest editing your post and removing your email address unless you like spam.
Rather send a PM to Jade.
Morning, I have sent you a DM
Edit: Thank you to Jade for the excellent customer support, he found the issue and I've logged a ticket with my ISP
Networking isnt my forte but can anyone give me some advice
Connection to my VM hosted on Absolute Hosting
Considering that its only my home fibre thats affected, this is something my ISP needs to fix
But could this also be an issue from AHs side?

The next hop is into into our network which is where @Waaiez is being blocked.
I have provided him with some additional information that he can forward to his FTTH provider to hopefully get the issue permanently resolved.

Is this at a DC level where its being blocked, could be some routing issue via the XC
Yeah he is being blocked at a DC level, ie on the first hop into our network.
It's not a routing issue as you can see that his trace from his FTTH connection and teraco both follow similar paths with the one being stopped at zero-three.ah.africa (102.211.207.11)
