Afrihost Mobile Feedback Thread

I could not use my last 80 megs last night. Browser kept getting warning that it was being redirected to capped.afrihost.com but the server was reporting it as www.afrihost.com . no problem I think so I say connect anyways but it could not load any page.

I think maybe I ran out of bandwidth and clientzone didn't update ?
Does clientzone update the bandwidth figures in real time?

 

[NeonNinja]

No it's not real time, usually an hour or hours.

The whole friggin night. No data connection. I've done countless reboots and toggled the evil LTE switch. What's also interesting is that on my iPad, the Afrihost app just crashes if I try access those same two accounts.

Sorry to hear this - though must confess I'm not sure what you're trying to do here. Please PM me with details

 

[AfriGuy]

Brilliant!

Thanks dude.

Now to find the sweet spot in the flat

Welcome aboard!
Are you all sorted with the APN info?

Sorry about this
I'd like to run some checks on the usage and data logs under your account from last night/ last month. Could you drop me a PM please?

 

[AfriMan]

For some reason I can't use my last gig

Looks like it's locked - it may be from overage that we write off.

PM me and I'll take a look

My connection was unstable. A reboot to the mifi helped slightly but it definitely was slower then normal.

You might be getting 2G or Edge now - or are you using the 3G only setting?

 

[AfriMan]

You're lucky with those speeds, I think I lost about 2 gigs of data because my speeds are so slow and I couldn't use it

With many clients of Afrihost and MTN on data bundles, demand increased on the last and first day of the month.

If you had great service during the month - chances are demand increased affecting signal speeds.

Make sure you also got 3G signal. If demand increased and 2G gives a stronger signal - your device may automatically switch over

It is sad to only see 3+7 again on my afrihost app.

Very sad - but I promise if there is a way we can extend it, we will. Let's hope that Gian and Co can pull something awesome out of the hat

Just put in afrihost for the apn. others leave it blank

Thanks Ockie. We need to give you an honorary Afri-title

Well, it's raining in P.E Walmer Park, and it's quite overcast! :twisted:, perhaps it's that...

Weather is pretty horrible for any bandwidth. We need internet that flows directly into our brains carried by nanites.

Wait, that's brilliant! *patents idea*

 

[naeem.ally]

Speeds are slow in my area. Modem is on 3g with 4 bars.

hahaha....that is cute.

 

[Ockie]

Damn....seems like my LTE have not been provisioned yet. :-(

 

[swift412]

I want LTE too :<

 

[Azimuth]

It is not what it's cracked up to be. Just don't bother about it and stay on 3G.

 

[Stevewarren]

Dont know if this is the right thread for this but are the relavent ports for ps3 online open on the afrihost apn?

I find when I host games things work fine but I struggle to join games.

Guys how do I keep my MiFi on all the time / connected to internet. seems either my SGS2 or MiFi goes into sleep mode when there is no activity and I have to either reboot the phone or the MiFi
