Do you have any specific App in mind? I tried looking in the App store. Only tools for traceroute and ping came up. using iNet tools for that.

Seems Apple doesn't like any form of WiFi sniffer, you can only get such an app with a jailbroken iPad.
PM incoming.

Ye, was just about to post.
I'm not that familiar with iOS, but doesn't look like their frameworks/ API allow for that kind of data to be made avavailable.

I use WiFi Analyser https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer - maybe it's time to move over to Android ;)

It does, I just did it in Java as well when everyone told me it couldn't be done. :p
Apple just removed it on principle, it's still possible via e.g. Cydia.

EDIT: btw, waiting for the double data. :p

Okay. I'll do some tests tonight and post it here. Then advise me if there is any issue. My main issue is Facebook videos. They keep buffering. Snapchat and Instagram sometimes also takes quite some time to load and I'm on a 4mbps line. Not sure why this happens. Streaming works perfectly on 720p but in the evenings sometimes it struggles 360p. With no one else using the internet. Even Apps from App store takes a bit long like a 10MB App will take more than 3/4 minutes to download.

I gave up complaining about Facebook Videos, been happening since day one of AfriGreen.
 
Brothers xbox one has trouble updating, it downloads for a bit then stops and no other devices are on the internet. (wired connection)

How's the throughput when running a speedtest on the console? Also, have a go with Google DNS and see if that maybe improves your experience.
 
Used an android phone and tablet. After a few months, it became horrendously slow.

Switched over to iPad for over a year now and iPhone for about 8 months, love them.

Although I do believe it comes down to user preference. I don't think any OS is above the other. Still have my Android phone though. Use it now and then for fun.

Funnily enough, I also don't prefer one OS over another... I've learnt to keep my mouth shut in the office though! :p
 
Quick question.

I have a 50GB package with AH+
so 100GB.

With the Promo that's now on,
I'll have 50GB allocated, 50GB AH+ and 50GB Promo?

Or is your allocated Data doubled so 100GB
and with AH+, double that so altogether 200GB?

Anyone?

At this stage, I can neither confirm nor deny that Afrihost Plus+ will double your double data... ;)

Awesome. After I upgraded to 4Mbps, my usage really increased. I could do with some extra this side.
Saw the package name changed. Keeping my eye on the remaining GBs to change.

Thanks! :D

If you don't mind me giving feedback, I don't really like Simfy :( If possible, try to team up with Apple Music or Google Play music. Preferably Apple Music, i mean you know... iOS user here :p

No worries! :) Simfy is an awesome service that I use personally. What do you find wrong with it?

I doubt that we'll change Afrihost Plus+ to run with any other music streaming service at this point in time, but who knows what will happen in the future?

Is there a link to this new pricing promotion in your site? Still see 100gb for 199?
Click to expand...

The site will be updated within the next few days. You will get double data on any Capped package you select.

Have your problems gone away?

No, international latency still terrible at night.
MWEB network intermittently unreachable, Facebook videos buffer constantly, the only constant seems to be YouTube. Even Microsoft updates have been nonexistent these past few days.
