Afrihost New Network Feedback - Part 2

[Icemanbrfc]

Great to hear

Had a look at Twitch... I cant believe people sit and watch people play games lol but to each their own i suppose. But no buffering for me. So at least my line is behaving at the moment.

 

[CTBP]

Thanks for keeping me posted.
Wasn't the site loading for you?

It was loading but to the point where I was worried it would time out while mid payment.

 

[AfriGuy]

I'm keeping an eye on here or MyBB in general. Any sort of indication when the new packages are going to be announced because if its not in this month I am going to have to try another cheaper ISP which you may only hope give me bad service.

I really can't get into detail just yet I'm afraid.

I'm sure FNB have fail safes around time-outs

 

[NewBiks]

Sure
Ran a test with this stream, using a 10Mbps Business Uncapped account, tested on the South IPC - auto-assigned DNS.

Thank you for posting

I've never once had sub 200ms response times when connecting to a Twitch server.
Could you please test again around 8PM, thank you.

Is the double data promotion and rollover for existing clients only?

"More good news is that all existing capped clients’ unused data – including their double data – will carry over each month".

I really hope this is not the only thing in store, because as a business account user we have been neglected for way too long.

It'll be available as a part of the product, so everyone will get it

I watch people play rugby and other sport all the time, how is that different to watching a team play a team game?

Also

It isn't.
What are your expectations around the Business product?

Does this apply to new subscribers?

How does this work if included with Afrihost+ add on?

Afrihost capped subscribers will be able to see the extra data in their ClientZone and app over the next few days.

EDIT: I've said too much.

 

[Chris333]

If you have Afrihost Plus+ the data will be quadrupled.

You just gained an old client back

Then let me be the first to welcome you back

 

[Masik3R]

If you have Afrihost Plus+ the data will be quadrupled.

Edit: Still 1 month rollover or is that extended too?

 

[AfriGuy]

Data rolls over from the previous month for now, not aware of this changing I'm afraid.

 

[NewBiks]

Since I only used Afrihost Plus+ for the double data...when do I cancel AH+ so that it takes effect in the month coming without my current data being effected?
