Afrihost CAPPED ADSL Feedback (MTN)

[AfriGuy]

See above, I added them to the original post

Thanks, just went through it.
The guest account is always hard to base tests off though It doesn't run via IPC links, so it behaves quite a bit differently. While not ideal, but do you have any other accounts lying around to test off?

Nether of them are guest accounts, it is my Unshaped afrihost account vs My Shaped Telkom account that I took out last year to bypass your IPC issues and I keep it because I often have to use it for streaming in the evenings when Afrihost dies.

Ah sorry, must have mis-read the initial post
I'll have the details passed onto our team to see if they can make sense of things though.

I cant maintain a 700kbps Twitch stream.

 

[nicki]

Twitch has always been problematic AFAIK. Netflix was fine for me earlier. Now watching another stream no issues.

 

[Napalm]

Afrihost network is the problem. please people ... sort out the Issues in CPT. We are struggling to surf the internet or play local games on local server (counterstrike etc).

Downloads are sitting at 1kb per second. Nothing is happening.

 

[Thor]

Afri(person), Can I ask your assistance, my parents live far away from me so I can't assist them with this, their internet is down for a whole week now and they are to nice to complain I only discovered this now.

Can I pm you all there info and will you please look into this for me? I would really appreciate it.

I switched to Telkom on Friday afternoon after being told that Cape Town is fine and I just have exchange congestion.
I may as well stay with Telkom, it is running fine and it is a weekend, Afrihost wont even notice a problem in Cape town now until Monday. The days of 24/7 support went out of the window when MTN bought them to milk the Goodwill and ramp up profits.
