Sure, drop me a PM with your details and a speedtest so we can get things started.
 
You know what would be really cool. If Afrihost include the unlimited afterhours data as one of the Plus+ features. Would be nice.
 
All i want to see added now is roll over data... then its a win. Very difficult in my situation, as i know i wont use up all my data within the space of a month. i can go smaller package, but then if i do use more, i would have to top again, which isnt cheap.

Yeah I agree. I use about 150GB peak data max a month and my after hours downloads take most of my data. Now with uncapped afterhours data means some data will go to waste because I need to have Plus+ on my account to get the extra data.

Midnight data is already available on Capped package at no extra cost though :)

For 100GB+ accounts. Would be nice to have a 50GB account with Plus+ activated making it 100GB and the uncapped afterhours would be nice then.

NVM I see now after adding the prices up that it won't make any difference in price 50GB with plus or 100GB without plus but the extras is nice to have on plus like simfy and 500gb extra mobile data.

i would love to see AH change this. Min 50GB with zero rated data(midnight data) would be right, as most of the other guys dont have it at 100GB min to get the benefit of midnight data. So its a strange move by AH

I'm sure it's something to be considered.
Midnight data is also a product add-on that's very young - so I'm sure we can only see more improvements to come. Otherwise there's always that upgrade button :p

That's not looking good at all :(
Are you only seeing latency in-game or across the board?
Click to expand...

I get these massive latency spikes in game, it holds for a few seconds at 700+ms, then drops to around 200 ms, then back up to 500 ms, back down, you get the picture.
Unfortunately, I experience this primarily in the game.
But some webpages are slow on request.

I'd like to check some traceroutes and a few pings to see if we can get this nailed down.
Do you know the IP of the server you're playing on?

Hi AfriGuy,

I am not sure on which server I was playing, I will get that info the next I start a match. I just pulled one of the addresses listed on the web as active Dota2 servers in SA.
Twicth is also a problem today. Everything was working perfectly yesterday.

Here it is:
