another issue is i know it said the upgrade will apply at midnight, and yet the vumashop is already reporting 20mb and clientzone reporting 20mb, and yet my speed is still 10mb.

Do you know if AH blocks RDP ports (3389) by default?

I cant seem to connect to my home PC via RDP. Teamviewer works but ill need a licence for long sessions.

Also opened the ports up on my firewall, using RPD when im on the local network works.

Hi Rickster, by default we don't block any ports. Can you advise what service you use with us?

That actually shouldn't be the case, let's look into why you're not getting 20Mb on your end. Can you firstly restart the CPE and plug your laptop directly to the CPE to test again?

yes i tried that before reporting.
still 10mb:

i'm getting over afrihost very very quickly, might just cancel pay the 999 and move on.

I'm really sorry that the upgrade is taking longer than we would have liked, I have just asked someone from our fibre team to call you so that we can get the line speed where it needs to be.

They will definitely be able to see where the hold up is and hopefully fix it. Again I'm sorry about this.
 
ok, I learned something and this is for anybody else changing accounts on afrihost, you still have to go to login.afrihost and enter your cell no. to activate:

Ok thank you, on Fibre we definitely don't block any ports. Do you only experience this when connected to our network only?

Im not sure what you mean, my home has the AH connection when i try to connect to it from work the connection fails.

Unless you mean I must try from another location to my home.

Sorry for the late reply. On the router settings, please enabled IPsec and PPTP passthrough and confirm if the issue is sorted.
