Same here.. may as well get the LTE modem out.200 - 400ms now
Are they still denying anything is wrong and asking you to reboot your router?
I am now in a bind because if these people do not resolve their crap, where else do I go?
I have moved ISP so many different times... I need to get a frequent flyer bonus.

No responses or action from them today as its a public holiday.
As someone said tomorrow they will admit to increased latency today and are investigating etc etc
Cycle. Rinse. Repeat.

I'm sitting at 400ms+ for local with the occasional ping over 1000ms
I have been testing out a Web Africa account, it appears they don't have the latency issues if you can accept their shaping and AUP policies.Same here.. may as well get the LTE modem out.

For the last 2 months I have been on a Telkom Account without the slightest problem. My 10Meg line sync at 9.x Meg and I can stream any time of day or night (I don't do P2P or Gaming so can't comment there).
It is only a 50Gig account, but if Afrihost drops double data there's is also 50Gig, but lets face it, at the moment I am paying Afrihost for 100Gig that I can't use. If I drop Afrihost, take another few Gig from Telkom I have a Shaped account that way out performs an Afrihost unshaped account and it will cost less and I only pay one invoice as my line is still with Telkom.

Just when I think this Afrihost rubbish cannot get any worse, it gets worse.
Unfunking believable.
430ms local ping and nearly twice that internationally.
Aaaaaand nothing amiss in Afrihost-land, everything green and rainbow unicorns... I am actually sick of that useless network status sham on their website.
Reduced throughput, insane pings... and tomorrow we will get the empathetic drone-bot spin and promises of it being looked into and optimised blah blah fishpaste.

Well.... Ive been a WebAfrica customer for the past 4 months now and today switched back to afrihost and well, afrihost beats them hands down!
Web Africa caused all sorts of k@k on their capped accounts
So much happier having this care free capped account.

Have you used it in the afternoon/evenings for the past two weeks? Completely unusable for gaming. Today it is near useless streaming YouTube, on a 10Mbps line YouTube is hopping between 240p and 360p.
I'm downloading torrents at 4.2Mb/s as we speak from 11an this morning did around 90gb today
Whilst jamming dota
Please upload a speedtest now.
With Dota in game currently and torrents open

Are you still in Bellville CT? What kind of Afrihost account do you have?
From my side I don't have problems with bandwidth but I'm only on a 2mbit line. The latency is absolutely trash though 400ms+ when I hop over to a WA account that latency comes down to 13ms.
