Do you have another account that you can test from another isp? If you can authenticate?

My neighbour, who is on Afrihost, and who has been having hassles for a very long time came running over today to say that at last Afrihost have sorted out some or other issue between PTA and JHB and his connectivity is now back ....
But the sad part is for months the issue has been blamed on his line, exchange congestion and all sort of other things ......
I guess he will never know what the real problem was ....

Then that would indicate the ATM/ME link to the DSLAM/IMAX is down. Telkom will have to fix it.

Premium Uncapped. It only started happening a few days ago. Afrihost doesn't seem to know what's going on.

Hello all.
I signed up with afrihost this week for and 8mb uncapped package an upgrade from 4mb i had previously. When i enter in my new uncapped details in router the internet does not work. I tested Webafrica free Gig account and that works. I am pretty sure i entered in my details correctly, I also rebooted the router endless of times as well as unplug. Any advice ?

I reckon it might be this new shaping policy. Friday and Saturday night my side was fine. Now k@k again.
What kind of package do you have?
It seems to be the case with Afrihost that we shift between periods of everything going great, and periods of erratic performance.
I'm fine with the occasional unintentional mass network problem, but these extended patches where no one knows what's going on are really frustrating.
I wonder if the tech team is looking at the accounts of people who've complained about the same problems here simultaneously, in an attempt to discover patterns, rather than just troubleshooting each account that logs a fault in isolation.

so basically something is wrong and you would have to get Telkom out to have a look unfortunately. If you cant authenticate using another isp details, then its either exchange issue, or something else which a technician would have to sort out.

My streaming has been really good this weekend. Spoke to Telkom, and they indicated that their engineers did something on the exchange, so streaming has been good. Im hoping it lasts forever like this, but who knows. Maybe a temporary fix, but im hoping its long term.

There seems to be an issue on the uncapped accounts by the looks of it.
