Nope I tried to do that myself last night. No recreate port or fix my line. I ended up logging a ticket on afrihost client zone.

My line won't sync to 10mbps after it was supposed to be and have been charged for it. Still on 4mbps.

Response was that the issue was being escalated. So I wait.

Sounds like a fault was logged.
Drop me a PM if you'd like me to have it followed up :)
 
I know our speeds are not great right now, but I can promise that we're bringing every available resource to bear to improve right now. We're definitely concerned about the poor experience many clients are having and this is our biggest priority right now :(

But it's been like this since the IOS conspiracy, i'll give it one last shot till the end of the month as i've been charged for this month.
If it's not what it should be by then (20 days) then thats one customer down...

I think that's fair, I can fully understand that this is more than frustrating.
 
Many NASA websites not loading the first 10x then eventually... they load. Been like that for weeks. Not just NASA though but just saying... NASA is generally up most of the time.

That sounds very odd.
Do you have a few domains that I can run some tests on?

I'm doing the same.
 
Just to add my voice to the clamor. Okay, this is a bit of a rant, but the other ISPs are giving full service at the moment so after almost of a week of this, surely we're entitled?
I'm getting the same shoddy sort of service which made me leave Telkom Uncapped and come to the supposedly unshaped unthrottled Afrihost Capped accounts. I'm getting latencies of 1K+ on PathOfExile for heavens sake, and it doesn't even behave the way latency spikes usually do, it just goes up and then stays there until you loose the connection to the game.... Relogin and you get 20 secs of gameplay and then the latency spike/freeze. I'm hugely frustrated by this.
I've not logged a problem for the last 5 days because I came here and saw you knew about the problems and where working on it. But apparently, for all the solutions you've posted they've implemented so far, very little joy.
Always someone else's problem.
Why is it that the second I log into one (any) of my other ISPs I get latencies of 199 to 208. Why? What the heck is happening on the Afihost side of the network? As multiple people have proved it's not MTN Business or else Axxess would be having the same issues.
It's not IOS updates, it's not MTN Business, it's not our routers or Telkom lines or exchange congestion, it's your ruddy network!
One or two days is understandable, but this is going on far too long.
.
PS: Sigh... Okay, I got that off my chest. Best of luck with sorting the network. Come monthend, if no improvement, I too am out of here.

I hope the hardware in the area isn't degrading :(
Drop me a PM with the line number and I'll see what's happening here.

I did send you a mail regarding ^^.

Line dropped down to 5Mb again... doing a remote reboot to see it it picks up again.

Thanks for your post, I can completely understand where you're coming from.
The high latency you mention here doesn't sound right at all though, have you run any tests with our team to determine the issues?
 
https://earthdata.nasa.gov/labs/worldview/ is one that has loaded perhaps once out of 10 tries today. Then there's the normal www.nasa.gov site which takes a really long time. It's not just NASA though, it's various sites like general news, mail etc. A tracert takes forever to complete, I just close the window now, too sad to even let it run out.

These two load up first time for me, I'll keep trying though :)
Are you using our DNS servers?
