Syphonx · Jan 23, 2010

international is really slow, took 20 mins to sign into gmail

bradrap · Jan 25, 2010

And it's happening again. Dead slow international since 9pm last night, this has happened 4 nights now in the last week... can't be underwater cable failure allllll the time?

ToAsTeD · Jan 25, 2010

You guys still have dead international? Ours is there, just painfully slow :/

CrzWaco · Jan 25, 2010

Yeah painfully slow as well.

Prof.Merlin · Jan 25, 2010

Havent had a single problem since I started using afrihost. Downloaded yesterday at max line speed

CrzWaco · Jan 25, 2010

Had slow international for 5 days now, even asked telkom to resync my line and still getting 30-70KBps on a 4meg line I was luckly last night got about 130KBps for like an hour.

IS are a bunch of useless #$!$!@$@!$@!$!. International is non-existant and its almost impossible to get a straight answer out of them.

czc · Jan 25, 2010

And still there is nothing wrong for me. This is really strange.

Problem is it's coming and going... However, 1014 ms is appalling! So it looks like it's the ADSL that's a problem since your server is getting low pings.
