According to the reports, there have been intermittent problems while watching YouTube videos for at least the past two weeks.
Afrihost, Axxess, and Webafrica all use the same upstream provider called Echo. However, based on feedback from ISPs and Google’s Remote Operations Centre, the issue is not at Echo.It explained that its network devices in Johannesburg, South Africa and Mombasa, Kenya are being pushed beyond their capacity.
“On engaging with Google engineers, they confirmed that indeed they were suffering capacity constraints in their Johannesburg cluster.”
