Afrihost CAPPED ADSL Feedback (MTN)

[techead]

ok, Im done.

Afrihost you have had your chance(s). Each time I come to this thread all I see is excuses, and my line is a joke.

Performance for a capped account is quite simply... abysmal.

Same here! This is the 3rd and final time, leaving Afrihost for good!

Hi,

My line is still not running as it should.

Test 1


Test 2



Should be 37+Mbps

Further to this, I also have issues with BF4 lagging very much on the Afrihost account. I switched to the free Webfrica account and the lag disappeared.

Also my speed test pings on Webafrica are around 9ms, but on Afrihost it's hi 20's to high 30's.

Not good Afrihost.

And Torrents are completely dead, absolutely nothing

Same here, what the fudge is happening, this sh#t needs to get sorted ASAP

 

[Brollocks]

Not sure how much longer I can stay with Afrihost.... Things are really bad at the moment. Packet loss is a complete nightmare when playing online.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

The uncapped is shaped to poop, I switch to my capped account and instead of full line speed, it's hitting a max of 15kbps, wtf is going on with your network AH

Hi AfriTeam...

It still seems to be a bit spotty, throughput drops and packet loss spikes... then it seems to settle again.

Now is OK, last night was a bumpy ride.

Has this issue been resolved completely now? If not... any idea when?

I cannot even begin to face another protracted performance roller coaster with you guys.

When I left last night everything was running along smoothly, I'm checking with our Network Peoples to make sure there aren't any major issues.

 

[AfriGenie]

Not everyone. I get 2meg from Afrihost and 5.5meg from Telkom. Usually you guys are rock solid stable and now this happens

Would you be able to post a speedtest? And if possible also the region that you are in. You should definitely have seen an improvement by now.

 

[ant_man]

And still no answer as to why everything has gone to cr#p
Afrigenie what is going on??

Could you maybe elaborate a bit on the issues that are cropping up at the moment?

There should not be any issues with throughput anywhere at the moment.

Torrents are dead, everything else is working fine.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Sigh, there's people moaning all over the place but I just keep getting told there's nothing broken. Just like a week ago, deny deny deny and then oh sorry, there was actually a problem

That's weird. Have you tested across a few torrents?
Are your HTTP downloads also slow?

Things normalised yesterday, from what I could see, late afternoon.
What issues are you seeing?

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

YT/streaming sluggish, downloads struggling to get 1/4 line speed, some international sites loading very slow.

Yip I have about 10 running and all are dead
I don't use HTTP, but I tested one and that is fine

I really hate asking, I know running constant tests are annoying - but I'm afraid I'll need to see some tests.
What's your latency looking like?

Could you PM me your DSL username? I'd like to run a few checks from my end.
Very strange that P2P is slow but your HTTP downloads are running fine.
