That's not good! Could you quickly run a traceroute to Afrihost.com?
Ok changed back to AH and this is what I get.
Seems hop 5 and 8.

Why is it going via Cape Town first and then Joburg ??

We have lots of roadworks here in the Eastern Cape. Maybe it's all those stop and go's
You know things are really bad when your upload is faster than your download
Considering I'm paying for a 20Mbps "unshaped" capped account I want the data portion of my account charged as a shaped account until you guys sort your capacity issues out. Who can assist me with that credit?
2nd time ignored, can I get an answer?
3rd time I put a stop on my debit order and wait for you guys to make contact when no payment is received.
I will then refer back to this forum where you have clearly ignored a valid question.

Pretty darn crazy latency. Nothing new though.
Trace www.youtube.com
Throughput also struggling quite a bit. Downloading podcast cannot go faster than 3Mbps on 20Mbps line.

I would like to apologize, I definitely wasn't intentionally ignoring you.
I'm honestly not sure what would happen in this situation. I can check with the Team and let you know the moment I have an answer.
Took me over 3 hours to download iOS 10.3 beta which was 1.8GB on a 20Mbps line and that's on a unshaped account. I feel sorry for those with uncapped and shaped accounts.

That looks to be routing internationally, but even for that it doesn't look great.
Where are you downloading the podcast from?

What's happening in this situation is I'm paying for a 20Mbps unshaped capped account and getting speeds less than a 1/4 or less my line speed throughout the month due to your capacity issues during peak periods.
Refer back to all my posts and screen shots throughout the month for proof.
I don't see why myself or any other person that's affected paying for an unshaped account should pay full price because AH ran out of capacity.
