Afrihost Uncapped ADSL Feedback

[The_Librarian]

SO far no issues.

Except for the dang power failures

We're nearing 10Gb with normal use. No torrents or NSBz's...

Kiddies love it - logged them in to lego.com and they played with the online games there. Now daddy doesn't need to worry about getting capped.

iPad updates, windowsupdates etc, no need to worry about those chomping cap

I'm on 51GB and so far so good. I noticed it was a bit slow over the weekend, I was doing a bunch of Windows updates and Ubuntu updates as well as downloaded + installed Linux Mint on to another PC.. (fun weekend) - much of the time I wasn't able to break 120kb/sec (4mb uncapped), seems ok again now though.

I cancelled my Afrihost 4mbps uncapped today. Sorry guys... Sticking with MWeb 4mbps uncapped.
Still a good deal though.

So far, they're saying that routing is fine and they are happy with the ping results. But if they continue to rise, please let me know so we can escalate this higher up the chain.

So today and yesterday was a great couple days for me. Not only did I order my line upgrade from Telkom finally. From 1Mbps to 4Mbps, their stupid website showed that my number can only support 1Mbps. Finally got hold of someone at the call center who knew what they had to do to check the real line speed upgrade options.
In less than 24 hours, I have a 4Mbps line. Kudos to Telkom for such a quick turn around time, now just fix that website.

Signed up for the Afrihost 4Mbps bundle and got my account activated in about 15 minutes or less.

Tested a few things already and must say, kicking ass.
Playing a Browser based MMORPG "Drakensang Online" on a European Server with only 220ms ping. AWESOME
Played QuakeLive with what looked like LAN speed. Didn't check the ping.
Streamed Youtube video at 720p at faster speed then I could watch it.
Downloaded a newsbin at 360KBps. One that said none by IS cache.
Downloaded Afrihost MyBandwidth iPhone App from the AppStore on my phone via WiFi in about 3-4 seconds.
Must say, I'm blown away by the speed. Just hope it will stay this good for the years to come.

Excellent Product at a more than excellent price. Costing me R200 more a month, for 4x more speed. Easily recommendable.
