I'm hating this new network. I only have a 2mbps line so not expecting much, but pages won't load, videos load 1 second then takes 2 min to load another, I've had to reset my router 4 times since yesterday....

That doesn't sound good... :(

How are your speedtests looking?
 
Hey AfriTeam

Friend in Fish Hoek is still getting disconnects on her Afrihost account... line stays connected but account disconnects.

Happening constantly.

Using another ISP test account and seems fine.

Any ideas?

Nothing springs to mind... Do you maybe have her Username?
 
Hey AfriGenie, can you give any advice on how to increase PSN downloads. Surely 3mbps-4mbps from PSN is not great? This applys to all things from game downloads, patch downloads etc. Seems to be the same on Google's Play Store as well. App updates crawl. 40bmbps VDSL should be flying surely.

Its PSN itself not afrihost............

20Mbps line? Looking pretty darned good!
 
@AfriGenie, I am able to stream 480p without buffering with my 2MB standard uncapped account. Does that therefore mean that I will be able to stream 720p and 1080p without buffering with a 4MB and 8MB account respectively? Does it scale like that?

If anyone has managed to do the above with their Afrihost accounts, it'd be great to know.
