Try cape town.

Yep, problems that way... that's why I'm using the Rosebank DNS.

Absolutely struggling with 4mb uncapped in Cape Town.

With all respect to the mod note on page 1 of this thread:

"Mod_note: These threads are clearly designed/intended for customers to provide feedback to their respective ISPs - not for disgruntled former customers to vent, not for other ISPs to promote their services, etc - and, one hopes, for the relevant ISP to respond."

But really - we're paying for internet here, not promises. After having watched the entire Singapore F1 GP on Supersport in Full HD on Afrihost capped without a single buffer, I switched to TI to view the skysports F1 Post race and not even that could stream, and it's not even a 200 Kbps stream. Page loads demand going to make tea while one waits, and speedtests, well, forget it.

10210 gettin' a call from me this week for a cancellation request and Gian at Afrihost's wallet's goin' to be gettin' a bit fatter.

Is it only MyBB that is slow? All other sites are snappy. MyBB takes ages to load.

I don't know what you mean.

I think most people want to know if this is going to be fixed.

I was referring to the specific case of users getting IPs from the 'quarantine' pools on the BRAS/BNG (212.212.212.*) which affected MickZA

Beginning of the work week and things look much better:

CTown - http://speedtest.ookla.com/result/2710389828.png

JBurg - http://speedtest.ookla.com/result/2710391118.png

Int Speed dodgy - http://speedtest.ookla.com/result/2710390426.png

... fingers crossed.

Mines back to like it was saturday morning... pretty much non existent. All tracerts are fine, but loading anything takes a lifetime or just times out.

 

[MickZA]

All looks good here despite the MyBB international speedtest looking FUBAR I'm pinging bbc.co.uk at <200ms, Radio 4 iPlayer running fine. No problems with VPNs.

I'm happy (hope I'm not tempting fate).

All appears to be working well again. MickZA and I must be from the "quarantine" pools whatever that means but it does not sound too good.

Wheels just came off again, been performing flawlessly until now.

Back on my axxess capped account.

Same here in Johannesburg. Everything just went entirely South.

Joburg

Cape Town test stuffed. Ping 1763ms :wtf:

International

[MickeyD]

One more week TI before I decide to stay or go.

This is seriously weird, browsing is moving slower than a glacier but I'm getting line speed on torrents (TVchaos - UK private tracker) :wtf:

... and youtube is fine on HD
