Afrihost drops 10Mbps uncapped ADSL pricing

[mcryan]

Awesome move by Afrihost. They're making the competition look expensive!

 

[CeeBee]

Sounds like you're on a better wicket with the capped product, because you get unshaped data as and when you want it!

yip... i also think so... of course i've been eyeing these uncapped products recently... but for me capped is still better value on my usage.... i dont have enough time for unlimited online gaming, or needs for torrentz downloads.
so can rather have lower fixed monthly cost with capped, and IF i need more, i just add a few extra gigs... still get some free with FNB also

I think it used to be, if usage is less than about 13-15Gb per month, then capped is better value, now, with the lower uncapped pricing, if usage is about 20Gbs... so not there yet
I do quite a bit of VPN work to the office at nite as well, so i appreciate the full 4meg speed, especially with wife and kids on youtube and face book at same time

can anyone confirm speeds of NZB'S on Afrihost?

Thinking about canceling my mweb account.

1 MB/s most of the time, though I don't go over 200GB much.

So how does Afrihost shape on 10 meg uncapped?

 

[zeely]

It doesnt matter how cheap it is. If your 4mb uncapped only runs at a maximum of 200k/s, its a crap product. I've heard every excuse under the sun from them, and yet the moment I switch to my mweb 4mb uncapped, im back to 430k/s

sorry afrihost, you still need to learn a LOT from mweb

dont.. i've never got even close to 400k/s on any download (nzb or otherwise). nzbs tend to trickle in at around ~150k/sec on a 4mb uncapped. on mweb they go 403k/sec day and night

 

[chronkiller]

Bye bye Mweb, you've been good to me but R297 for a 2meg compared to R369... Hmmm, cancellation going in as soon as I get home!!!

Im With you on this one

Currently downloading (nntp) at 420KBps on a 4mbps afrihost account. I do around 5GB a day and use an international usenet provider.

Full 3Mbps - but on a 10Mbps uncapped trial (with a k@k 3Mpbs line). No complaints from me as far as nzbz go. (on Astraweb) Will prob switch too 4Mpbs uncapped.

Now downloading NZB @ 270Kb with MWEB only at night I get full speed .My Afrihost account its full speed 24/7

[bar1]

don't see any reason to get astra at the moment...mweb have everything i need

with maximum speed

 

[zeely]

nope... only have astraweb in my configs. removed the mweb servers ages ago. they're useless

 

[mr.B]

I'm still going to stay with My mweb 10MB uncapped; very very happy with the speeds I've been getting; For R200 it's not really worth moving for me.

 

[mRbUcK]

Is this truly awesome value for money. Cant wait for the upgrade.

420kbps on 4meg uncapped, 200gb no throttling.

 

[Centronix]

Damn that's quite good

 

[The Captain]

Had no problems on MWEB 1 meg with nzbz- also using astraweb. Problem is that I have run out of stuff to download- just don't have the time to watch it. Thinking about the 2meg but not sure if I will be able to use it as already a 1meg is enough

 

[grim]

Lol Axxess just blew this out the water. R495/m for 10Mb uncapped
