Thread: Afrihost 1mb uncapped

  1. #1

    Default Afrihost 1mb uncapped

    Hello.
    I am interested in the Afrihost 1mb uncapped for R197. Could anyone tell me how the service is with regards to speeds, throttling etc.
    I would like to play online games during the day (dota 2) and stream online videos during the day (360p) and download during the night.

    Thank-you

    Well, I dont have a 1Mbps account but I have a 384kbps uncapped account and I did 60GB with it last month and were never throttled/shaped, I had full speed downloads everyday.
    My brother plays cod4 with the account as well so it is good enough for online gaming.

    On a 1Meg uncapped account you can easily pull a 100GB per month without Afrihost throttling you.

    Don't forget to pm Afriman for a discount link: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthre...pped-Promotion

    I signed up for the 1mb bundle today, so unfortunately I couldn't take this promotion. But if you are only using the package, then you can get a 80% discount for this and next month, I think.

    had a 1Mb account and so long as you dont do over 120GB on a 30 day rollover period it works great, if your requirements are more than that tho you can expect a 50% drop in speed.

    I am on 1 mb Afrihost uncapped. Diablo pings = 230ms most of the time with two people on. Logged on to wow and got about 214ms downloads using news servers run at full speed and i try to keep it under 100 gb per month. So far this service has been awesome. +1 to Afrihost. Another thing to remeber is Afriman on the forums here where you get vip treatment always.

    If AfriMan says it, it is so!

    I am on the 1 mb uncapped.

    I did 83 gigs last month. Mostly news servers with some torrents and Diablo 3.
    I was always going at full speed (downloads at over 100kbps) and have no complaints.

    I would definitely recommend them service so far has been brilliant.

    Hope this helps.
