You are all isolated cases and everything is fine on AH network.
The green light on the web site says so.
Beside the AH engineers haven't detected any problems.
Thousands upon thousands are having good experiences and are not complaining.

Their streaming at in HD without any buffering. Supersport is running flawlessly.

There you go.
I can be a rep.

I would object that: SS streaming is ***.

That's ok, besides I only know that because I've got myself and my SO a copy

Its because you are in PE. There is really no issues from my location, its been perfect since I've switched from mweb to AH in Aug 2013.

Do you mind doing a local and international speedtest on speedtest.mybroadband.co.za and posting you results? I would like to see your results and compare them to mine. My local speeds have always been fine but international has never been above 4.5mb. I sometimes get speeds as low as 1mb.

Ask me tomorrow, because I'm not stopping my 25 gig client download since its getting max line speeds. Its ESO and it can go pear shape on me

And capped?

This is the business uncapped thread, right?

What he means is, test it against a capped account and see what speeds you get.

Ok. No problem. It was just for info anyway.

You are not peering correctly.
Could you please pm me with your details, traceroutes, speedtests, AH network results.
If you can't dl the tool, try to grab WA's free GB.

I will get this to engineers asap and should come back to you by end of April. If you haven't received any response by then, just rinse and repeat.

My business account is unusable tonight, possible line fault maybe perhaps.

Using capped backup... and it is working just fine.

/meh

Doing the same action repeatedly expecting a different result is a sign of insanity.

I'm not having issues though. Not sure what's up with these other people.

So because you're not having an issue there aren't any?

Perhaps ... but only after a line fault is confirmed or refuted... then there is the exchange hurdle to surmount.

Zertop used my AH business account today with zero issues... and right now I have a bottle of Jim Beam that is being downloaded faster than My SQL ftp backup.

Dude. Are you 12?

Everyday for last 3weeks you post the same thing:

Always your AH business has issues, but your other accounts work fine.

How the **** is it a line fault? Do you have shares in AH or something?

All my SQL databases upload and download at full speed. I thought that was weird, since I'm shaped to 18.8%.

Just to make it clear. I'm on Home uncapped and not on a Business account and shouldn't even really post here.
I'm having so much fun here, though.

I am having the same problem on my uncapped bussiness than last week wed. Doubt that it is line fault, ES and SFErr all fine.

Line speeds are all over the place. I have recommended a number of friends to AH just hope I did not make a mistake.

Eish ... I have a want to resolve an issue. Not quite the past 3 weeks... 3 weeks of twitch issues maybe, but this past week only about this nosedive.

My WebAfrica account has thrown a wobbly today... so I would like to rule out line issue and exchange issue before burning another ISP at the stake.

Mad latency with a 2nd and 3rd account might indicate a problem other than only Afrihost Business.

I would not like to pop-up on mybroadband bitching about WebAfrica / Mweb / Axxess in 2 months time with the same issues all over again.

Not really. IPC CT is not the IPC in JHB/PTA.

Sorry, thought he was in CPT :/

Who is Zertop and why is he using your account?

Zertop · Mar 24, 2014

Guys... listen here. I'm not here to get into any arguments with anyone. I just enjoy helping people out if they need it.
I sometimes get it wrong, yes, and sometimes it is the account's fault, but when I ask for people to give me some test results, it is just to provide some info to tell whether or not they have a line fault...

I'm not sure if this comment was directed at me, but if it was - I only post here to lend a helping hand. I do not feel the need to promote/lie about Afrihost's service, nor do I find the need to purposefully pretend all faults are line faults. I am always willing to say if I believe it is an account fault, and believe me - I will do so!

So finally, I don't post here to cause a fight, and I would appreciate it if people stopped constantly arguing with my comments/tips, I'm just trying to help.
