Afrihost capped account shaping

[Heisenborg]

Just to let those know who had doubts.

The capped accounts are now shaped so badly that it makes torrenting a waste of time. 50k/s on a 12MB line. Before Jan1 all was fine.

So yes AH has pulled the wool over your eyes, and no AH im not sending u any BS tests, you can check for yourself and stop lying to everyone here.

Cancelled my account. Not worth the trouble. Will try CW

So did you go for the double data shaped option on offer then? I abandoned the extra data in favour of the unshaped capped account - just checked and no issues on the bittorrent front in terms of speed.

That's alarming and should definitely not be the case! Please feel free to PM me your account details and we'll troubleshoot the poor P2P performance on your account.

Lol. I left to goto crystalweb. Now i get what i pay for and no more lies

Eeish and there they said it would almost never happen. Probably made a blanket decision to throttle all P2p across the board on these accounts.

Must feel good to shill this hard. So as a quick question, is CW's product shaped? Since you know their T&C.

So far on my AH Shaped Capped Account. 10-12pm Netflix has some buffering. Wasn't the case before the shaping. P2P Torrenting working 100% during the day, getting around 300-500kbps

Congrats on going with a proper ISP though. I was with CW for only two months before we moved to a place with fibre, but I loved their account. It simply worked. No hassles, no constants tests, no lying reps, nada.

Either way, if anyone didn't see this coming then they were fooling themselves. Like I said, AfriHost follows a pattern. Did you guys really think the reason for their shaping was anything other than they were (once again) oversubscribed? They told you they would only shape in extreme situations and don't anticipate it happening often, and somehow people actually believed them?

Cancelled my account yesterday - actually, cancelled EVERYTHING yesterday.

Well done - did the same.

After back to back testing on CW and WA, went with WA capped, couldn't be happier.

Torrents flying, NNTP rocking, and streaming video including IPTV in the evenings rock solid.

Afrihost, shame on you.

24mbps on Fast.com - AH was a 10th of that since the new accounts started.

I haven't been here for a while and I see others are having the same problem as me.
Capped accounts are now shaped and throttled etc as my torrents also were always full speed around 412 Kb/s and now I'm lucky if I see 20 Kb/s.
Shame on you AH, shame on you.
