Afrihost dreadfully slow for anyone else today???

I am getting really bad speed on my Afrihost 4MB Uncapped this morning. Youtube is only thing that is running semi Ok,
Browsing facebook - slow
Downloading update on Microsoft Security essentials was taking forever.
Downloading newer version on Klite Codecs was going down at 1 - 25 kb/s
 
I have the 384 account, but mine is lekka fast- well as fast as a cripple snail can go
 
I'm in Randvaal between Heidelberg, Alberton and Meyerton and the last 24 hours the internet is up and down constantly and BCS Net tells me it is Telkom and Telkom say it is my ISP... but it seems that it is a problem.

ADSL uncapped 4Meg.
 
O well all seems ok today.. Must have been something that was wrong in our area.. NZB's and normal http downloads back going full speed yesterday was only going at snail pace.
 
I am on 6164 line with capped Afrihost and my P2P is running at under 30kbps. I have not even downloaded 5GB's this month.

This company has the most dreadful support and service I have ever experienced. I am thinking about going back to Telkom. Seriously. At least you get support from them.
 
On a 15 gig capped option, Speedtest shows 3,8Mb/s Up and 0.34 Mb/s down yet torrents downloading at a wonderfull 9Kb/s. I have not yet had any problems with them, tonight beeing the first so ill check again tomorrow maby they having an off night :)

Edit websites loading fine, local and int and yes more than enough seeders on the files.

Problems accessing Times Live website and others

I have a 20GB Afrihost 4Mbps account

Is anyone else having problems accessing the timeslive website? I've been struggling since Sunday and I'm trying to track down the route cause, I'm also having ad hoc problems with other random websites.

If I use Firefox or Chrome I cannot access timeslive, if I use Opera I can but only seems to work in turbo mode meaning it's being pulled off the Opera servers?

If I switch over to my CellC modem I don't have this problem so it looks like it's Afrihost related?

Dude. Seriously. Torrents are shaped to hell and back during the day, even on capped accounts.

Doh! My bad!
 
I'm really struggling with my connection and bizarre behaviour, some sites load fine at normal speeds, e.g. myBB, google are fine, other sites just won't load or load as very basic HTML, e.g. speedtest.net, wikipedia, timeslive amongst others, what's bizarre is it's a mix between local and overseas sites. Afrihost have also not answered my support request detailing the problem. :mad:
