Afrihost New Network Feedback

[Dan C]

Been good this side. Glad I'm only slightly in the east Showmax running 100% again.

Trying to upgrade my backup Afrihost account from 10 to 100Gb, but on the upgrade page I see this:



R150 for 40Gb?

On the upgrade drop-down list I chose:
R199 for 100Gb.

It's the first day of the month, so why wouldn't I get the full 100Gb at the full amount?
What am I missing here?

Continue to check out, and then see.

You should get a better idea, of the cost and how much data you will receive.

 

[Conack]

Thanks
I guess it's due to the "Double Data" setup.

Continue to check out, and then see.

No worries man, think you should get around 80 or 90GB's. If you had changed package yesterday, you would have seen full 100GB at a billing cost of R199.

Yeh in theory they work 50 + 50, but its 100 in total. Not sure why they do this, but hopefully the Afrihost reps on here will explain why.

Unable to stream on Twitch yet again it's been like this all weekend long

Really great story. Meanwhile people in the East have to sit with crappy internet.

No, everyone should have a good network experience.

Updated my notebook and Windows Update ran at full line speed, without fail.

It wasn't my intention.

I posted the results because electrofreeze asked if anyone had trouble with Windows Updates.

Am I the only one in CT that cannot ping a single bloody gaming server? Browsing is fine, but I have a 3000ms ping to any dota server, with most just timing out.

Do you have an IP which I could test?

Don't mess with the pony.

Let me know what you get. Anything with a result is better than what I've had the past 2 hours.

Oh yeah, no it doesn't work on a cmd prompt on account of it being in a different port. You have to try and ping it from Steam.

I think there is a problem in CT town generally. I don't think it is ISP related. Am running +- 1/8th speed on my line with my Vox account and my TI account is worse. Think the the storm this morning has knocked something out somewhere...

So, no more free 100 gigs for November?

Still getting my normal speed when testing to Cape Town.
