Why is this network so poor, still struggling with Windows Update, Windows 10 will sit for almost the whole day and not download a simple anti virus definition. If I switch to the Afrigreen account things are far better.

Our Team is working hard on keeping the legacy network running as smoothly as possible, but in the short-term, it may be better to use @Afrigreen for downloads.

OK, so how long will the testing last, and what happens when the testing ends? Will there be some notification to switch back or will we just continue on Afrigreen?
I think while we are still in the proof of concept phase, it makes sense that we'll do some comparative testing with different components and providers until we settle on the best, consistent experience. We'll probably move into a prototype phase where we move move users onto the network and just monitor, before we move into the full implementation and production phase.

I will probably switch over to Afrigreen next week sometime, although saying that - the MTN network for me has been stellar this past month.
Guestimate on the timing to implementation phase - wont hold you to it?
Can't even provide a guestimate at this stage I'm afraid, we're still running through a lot of testing from our end.
When rough dates are confirmed we'll let you guys know though.

When my line was with Telkom, it took me 10 minutes to upgrade my line speed. With Afrihost it was 2 1/2 hours in July. Today I am upgrading line speed again, really hope it does not take 48 hours...

Still very happy with this. Line ran at line speed all weekend. I'm letting it cool down for working hours.
It should usually be quick, we had some problems when Telkom made major changes to their system earlier this year. Let me know if you run into any problems.
Have you checked ClientZone for the deets? If they aren't there drop me a PM with your DSL username quickly and I'll see what can be done
I see it there now. Thanks for the info. Will try it out and get back to you.
No worries. We want you to really get stuck into the network, so shout if you need any help
I switched back to AH business earlier today to see if anything has changed, and it ran just as well as Afrigreen for me during office hours. It can't stream 720p Youtube now though. Switched back to Afrigreen and things are good again.
That's odd - YouTube should be running OK at the moment. Any tests that I can check out?
Eh why bother. Afrigreen going great so I'm happy. Something definitely wasn't right on the business account though. I checked my network activity while I tried to stream and it wouldn't pull in more than 1.2Mbps. After switching to Afrigreen it showed full utilisation of the connection.
