Afrihost Capped DSL Feedback

Speeds are once again rubbish in CPT. Improved for a few hours in the early evening and back down the tubes now. Still waiting for test account details - and I wanted to be sarcastic at this point... but what the hell... does it even help?!??!
The problem is still as it was on my original post yesterday.

See my post above. Im also from CPT
 
Switched from VOX (ADSL-FPP-200GB) to my Afrihost Capped DSL Account (10GB Unshaped DSL > 50GB Unshaped DSL)

Speed tests doesn't show it but my vpn connections etc. where just plain horrible.

Right now I can't even run a speedtest :(

/update
Seems to be a bit better now.. for 10 mins there it was kinda dead... like my connection was downgraded to junk status :)

Glad your connection is back up and running! If there is any change, please let me know.

Getting weird disconnects all day, affecting Reddit among other sites. Not all international is down, but some, local is still 100%.

Happening right now, anyone else?

Are you seeing your DSL sessions drop at all? Are you still seeing the drops?

hello. so I read in this thread that afrihost is dropping small packages. https://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=880388

just wanted to find out if the option to switch to a 1gb free account still exists?

also are you planning to drop the free 250mb mobile data?

need to figure out what my options are as a low cap user.

The 1-GB Capped account is remaining as is.

You could maybe look at using a PrePaid DSL account, and then only adding data as you need it. You can check out the packages HERE.

ah. thanks. that might be an option.

thought you were completely removing all caps under 100gb.

It definitely shouldn't have been poor. Which services weren't running great for you?
 
DeathStrike said:
yeah I know. but we used to be able to switch to it instead of cancellation or putting account on pause.

It could because you already have a 1-GB Free Account on your profile. If you can PM me your details I'll check quickly for you.
 
DeathStrike said:
ah you right I do. thought when I added the other account it would take the free account off.
Click to expand...

The 1-GB Free Account remains a separate Capped account unless you specifically change the package or cancel it. :)

If you PM me your details I'll be able to check exactly what's going on. :)
 
East Rand - packet loss seems to be an issue atm ..... torrents running fine, but gaming is a nightmare.

Anyone else seeing this at the moment (speed tests shows up OK).
