Haha! I feel so sorry for webafrica. A ton of people signed up their trial accounts because afrihost cant get their stuff together.

Also feel sorry for the afrihost team on my broadband.
They have to deal with all our shouting and I suspect they know the truth something isn't right but they're not allowed to say.
Facebook team is lucky, they just block you. Ask me how I know. Haha!

To get 12am-6pm free time, which SHAPED capped account do you need to be on?

One that costs R299, so 300GB.

 

[5plus2equals9]

One that costs R299, so 300GB.

Would it be the same for unshaped? One that costs R299, so 150gb

Left AH shaped, middle AH unshaped & right WA capped.

Looks pretty decisive to me.

Yes, also looks like unshaped capped accounts are still partly shaped on torrents.

[Heisenborg]

20Mbps AH unshaped capped

Web Africa capped account

What's the deal here AH? Why is my unshaped capped running so up to sht?

 

[NewBiks]

It's very hard to pinpoint your issue as Twitch appears to be generally running well when it gets tested by us... Have you worked with our Critical Care Team regarding this issue before?

I have and they weren't able to find a solution.

 

[Phinix]

Anyone else getting the ass-end of Twitch tonight? Can't stream a thing.

Torrents crawling all day
