Basic Report:
Your average ping was 35ms
Your maximum ping was 178ms
Looking at your average ping, your line seems to be a bit dodgy :/ This may account for any slow speeds you may be experiencing. However, it could just be related to a high-latency home network (ie... Wi-Fi). If you feel the need, please post the results (at the end of the program) into the forum for advice

Seems much better.
Ping seems reasonably consistent to me, and no packet loss - would indicate all is well, I guess

New speed test from inside the network (behind Smoothwall).
Looking much better!
Please be aware that there are some authentication issues on the network at the moment. I would advise those affected not to reboot their routers for the next while, until we get a handle on this.
The issues have been present intermittently over the last 24 hours, and seem to fluctuate. At present it does seem to be pretty poor. Please bear with us while our network team work on this. The guys have been working through the night, so we'll keep at it until it gets sorted out

Down in pe as well....... Last day to use the gigs.......
OW refugee here, I would like some advice on the AH capped accounts.
Have been following this thread for a few weeks now, and can’t definitively figure out if the Cape Town situation has improved after the upgrade. I need for the internet to be working during the day. iOS and Android apps must be able to update, as well as moderate browsing and YouTube usage.
I’m not concerned if NNTP is heavily shaped during the day, but, I would like for AH to manage this. I.E. If I leave NNTP downloading during the day, it can be heavily shaped, but other protocols must be unaffected.
Would an AH capped account work for me? All advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

We're putting all our resources on this - we want to make sure that everyone has ample time to use up their allotted data

No problem. As long as we can do a wheel of fortune spin again next week.........We're putting all our resources on this - we want to make sure that everyone has ample time to use up their allotted data
We don't employ any form of shaping on Capped accounts. Since the upgrade (which was only partial) we have seen improvement in capped performance, especially in latency and overall throughput. We are, however, still expecting additional upgrades to ensure we can ensure better performance even at peak times.

As Fat Bastard would say ...maybe
Thanks for the response. I understand the company line, and really like the sound of it. Was hoping for the recent real world experiences of fellow Cape Town residents, as I'm still seeing a few niggles being posted. Would like to understand if these are the exception rather than the norm.
Thanks.

Damn, I saw this too late
Connected with another account because Afrihost won't authenticate.
I'm sure a few other forumites will give you their experiences as well. But best to test for yourself with a Free GB capped account. You can sign up here:

Maybe stick on that account for a bit until we sort this out - as long as it's not costing you an arm and a leg
