Hi AfriGuy, I've also signed up with new network as was notified to wait until new users added. Was hoping you could assist. Sent you a PM with my account details.

Can you drop me a PM with your ADSL username as well please, I can get you sorted ASAP.

I'm pretty certain the ADSL username was in the PM?

Except that you sent the PM to AfriGuy - who left - and not to me - AfriGenie.

There are no additional costs involved around Afrigreen.
Have you run through the official thread?

I dont think you understand. I will be giving the money that I gave to you this month (for a service that is not working), to WebAfrica next month (for a service that seems to be working). I am not going to pay WA for data and then you as well in order to test your AfriGreen account. If you give me a free account (not a 1G test account) I will test it, but I am not going to pay for it.

I am sure that can be arranged, if you are willing that is.

Since getting my AfriGreen details today, my packetloss in CS:GO for example is 0% where before it was always 10% - 15%. Ping was mostly low, in the 30ms - 50ms range. So far so good, lets see if it hold up.

Would some one be so kind as to post a link to the Afrihost Green feedback thread?
I received my login details but the email didn't contain a link.

Thanks, much appreciated.
Subscribed now so hopefully won't loose it again.

blackorange · Jul 22, 2015

I'm done

5am, had to upload a video and download another from my youtube channel.
Nothing happening, youtube not loading.
Ping = 60% packet loss
Traceroute - 2nd hop into "mtnbusines . . ." and that is where it fell apart.
A torrent was also (attempting to) downloading - at the impressive speed of 24kb/s (was not too concerned about it)

Switched to another isp trial account.
Youtube instantly loaded.
Torrent speed shot up to 180kb/s

My account payments are always performing as expected, yet the service received is below sub-standard.
Enough of this pure internet hell !

Afrihost - you need to seriously consider passing plenty of credits to your remaining customers, you're taking money for wine but delivering dirty water in return.
