So my NNTP traffic is now being SHAPED (call it what you will - artificially limited to 10mbps).

If I stop my NZB's I get 16 to 20mbps with http downloads.


So yeah - NO SHAPING my ****ing ass.

NNTP speeds can be limited by the news service.
 
Switching between business test account from critical care and then onto my AH account - speeds now running properly.

Will continue to monitor...

Spoke too soon, after running for 30 minutes, the account is back down to 10mbps

No better, international speeds still crap, local seems better, amazing how they have a problem, they know they have a problem, but not a single Afrihost rep stays on the forums this weekend? Poor, extremely poor service.

Remember, They never have a problem... we have a problem... but they NEVER have a problem.

EDIT:

Just look at their spin on our issues...

We are reporting increased DSL demand throughout the country, possibly as a result of new Apple iOS updates released late last night. We will be optimising our network and making changes where applicable to provide the best possible internet experience to clients while traffic demand remains high. We apologise to affected clients and would like to assure them that we will continue to monitor and work towards improving their overall experience.

Not a single mention of them having a problem.

Not sure about everyone else, but my 10mb business account is ( almost ) perfect today. Feels as fast as normal, anyway.




At this point, I'm blaming the speedtest server for the slow result, I can hit 1MB/s over https quite easily.
 
I'm on 2MB bus. uncapped and getting 40KB/s...poor. I used to be able to hit 220 easily, what's happened! Business prioritisation is off in clientzone

My AH 10M line is even worse tonight - speedtest @ 0.65Mbps. Still get excuse that it is due to iOS update.
 
"Speed" is better, but running at half of what it's supposed to be.....

And after all these excuses and technical jargon BS replies, there is still no clear answer as to why we are guaranteed by AH to have unshaped, unmetered, unthrotttled full speed bandwidth on our Business accounts yet we got shaped and throttled to death for 4 days because of some mythical iOS monster that invaded the AH systems and sucked everything dry.....
