Afrihost launches Pure Fibre – No shaping, throttling, or usage limits

Afrihost has unveiled its latest fibre product – Pure Fibre.

“Afrihost is introducing a simple, powerful fibre solution that it is uncapped, unshaped, unthrottled, and unmetered,” said Afrihost.

“You will get all the speed, all the time, no matter how much data you use.”

Um, yeah, no

Wont touch them with a barge pole

 

[Dslartibarfast]

That's cool except it's Afrihost so while it will be uncapped, unshaped, unthrottled and unmetered. It will be unstable, have terrible latency and constantly drop. So you can use it as much as you want....when it works

You've come a long way since the R29 specials, good luck and hopefully this time it works out.

ok but it says that all these packages are bound by your AUP - https://www.afrihost.com/site/page/acceptable_use_policy

Which is fine since you need to protect yourself from various violations and network security. But that also means that all these accounts fall under your shaping policy.

Anybody who falls for this is a complete and utter imbecile. So this is the new "business" package that works OK for the first few weeks/months, then we have uncapped ADSL all over again.

 

[elvis_presley]

I've got the equivalent product from Cool Ideas. They call it "Fiber".

Hi there. There is no shaping policy on Pure Fibre packages. No usage thresholds, no throttling no matter how much data you use or when you use it.

You're joking right? You're the guys that started implementing shaping/throttling on your "Premium capped" which even stated it should have no shaping or throttling.

The only reason to like afrihost is the client zone, but there are others now that use a version of cpanel for client portal, like cool ideas, so it's more than good enough, and then you force PDF from the client zone. Happy I left after your dysmal support.

Sorry but no, your reputation here on MyBB has been greatly tarnished by the numerous issues reported by people, and the copy/paste answers the reps give them

 

[Afrihost-Gian]

WTF

I completely understand your cynicism - You are, however, most welcome to try us out and compare us to any other network to see if what I say is true

I do understand why you feel like this - All we can do is strive to provide the best experience and work towards getting your trust back. I'll understand if we never get that right. But I promise you that we are going to relentlessly try and never, ever give up.

Thank you sir. But no. I have better uses for my hard earned money. Like setting it on fire to keep warm.

 

[Afrihost-Gian]

I am going into a meeting now and will be unavailable for about an hour and a half but will be back to answer any questions anyone may have later. Thanks

Its this type of blatant sales talk (i.e. lies) that will never help your case.

 

[EADC]

I guess better late than never.

 

[N@t3]

I would rather pay more at another ISP than join Afrifail.

The proof, she is in the pudding. Prove us all wrong, Gian
