Correct
so it reduces from today or from next month?
Next month, as our billing has already run for Feb.

Hi Afripeeps, I was planning to switch from a 4MB Business Uncapped Bundle to a 8MB Home Premium Bundle but I didn't get a chance to do it over the weekend. I'm assuming it's too late now and will have to wait till the end of February?

If the new package is more expensive than the old one it will upgrade now and you will be charged pro-rata.
If it's cheaper the downgrade will happen beginning of next month.
You should be able to do it now, just depends on the billing around it - it may only take affect at month end if it's seen as a downgrade.
Sorry, saw that this morning and meant to reply when I got to work. I sent the PM.

Awesome, thanks. Changed the speed and the package in the ClientZone. Will it re-bundle them automatically or do I have to do it manually?

It bundles your DSL line and data, which saves you a few bucks every month
I've got both my line and business uncapped package with Afrihost. Can you please point me in the direction of the "bundle and save" link?

Edit: Never mind; found it! Graci nevertheless; I never would've known about this if it wasn't raised on this thread.

Anyone else having problems with international sites atm? Can't seem to log into steam/make a skype call. Mybroadband site is working fine, can load bbc.co.uk really slowly.
All pings/tracerts are timing out, I have restarted my router.
EDIT: Skype seems to have fixed itself, going to start checking everything else.
EDIT2: Pings still not working, steam isn't logging in. Skype call is fine though. This is weird.
EDIT3: YouTube also works. Going to fire up a torrent and see if that works.
EDIT4: torrent is dead for me. YouTube is streaming in HD.
EDIT5: This is my ping test so far:
EDIT6: Restarted router and problem is still there.
EDIT7: Might be at the exchange, mhm.
EDIT8: And restarted router again after finding out my bras.afrihost was also timing out, all the pings are working again.

Sorry about this
Sounds like an odd one though, not seeing any issues from our end.
What DNS servers are you using?

Yours, I can't change it, the Telkom Pace router has the option greyed out.
Steam still isn't working, stuck on connecting. The pings are timing out again now.
Thanks for checking.
Is there a speedtest and traceroute I can take a look at? Sounds like there's an overall issue with your connection.

Just logged onto one of the desktops with a LAN connection, bras is still timing out and all the pings. Tracerts also don't work past the hop off my network.

EDIT: The upload is bad though, going to check around again if it's something on the network.
Maybe something locally is blocking you here?
Drop me a PM with your DSL username and I'll see what I can spot from my end.

Another speedtest. This time I also checked all the phones as well, only these two desktops, a laptop and 3 phones are currently on the WiFi.
EDIT: I really hope this is not a Telkom life fault. I had a similar issue yesterday where I just restarted the router and it worked again.
