Lol. Haven't you heard they don't shape. It's being managed.

 

[Mark.K]

Maybe send some tests so they can look at it. Could be congestion or try restarting your router

Hey Dude, I made some tweaks to your Capped account, can you please restart your modem then test your connection again.

Think you missed my second sentence. I will repeat it for you in more detailed sense:

I am downloading 5 Linux Distro's using my Afrihost account the total download speed gets a perfect 1MB/s nothing more nothing less a solid stable solid 1MB/s

Quickly Switching over to my Web Africa account I get a solid 4.3MB/s, immediately switching back to AH it is 1MB/s again. Switch to Axxess immediately and it's stable at 4.4MB/s switching back to AF directly afterwards and again a convenient round 1MB/s.

I did this for 1 hour and 32min.

Well my 40Mbps line is running at 7Mbps don't see what is good about this?

 

[Thor]

Seems fixed

 

[AfriGenie]

I have actually been seeing quite a few Cape Town users that saw a significant dip in speeds over the past hour, most seem to be reporting their speeds returning to normal now.

 

[HavocXphere]

AH - on failed credit card transactions a notification pops up in the top right corner...maybe make that middle of screen...its easy to miss and leaves the user a bit perplexed as to why he/she is being dumped back into the empty "enter you CC details" screen.

Ah...missed the 40 part.

Thought it was a 10 meg line with you getting 9.2.

Bad assumption - my bad.

I think that latency is going to be largely to blame... On a traceroute where do you see that spike in latency start?
