Afrihost New Network Feedback

Can someone tell me, on a uncapped Afrihost account with a 4 MB ADSL line, what's the fair usage policy cap per month before they start to throttle you, on the normal home package? I'm a MWeb user and know their FUP cap per 30 days is 110 GB if on a 4 MB line.

There is no softcap. They shape you depending on how stressed the network is at a specific point in time. Heavy users are the first to be shaped when such a situation arises. Since the new network came in, personally, I have never been shaped ( and I hope it stays like that ;)) and I usually do around ~220GB/month.

YouTube with VPN

You can not use it without VPN
This is on a caped account 12 mb

Could you add your location as well?
Going to go open some YouTube videos as well to check.


EDIT: Same, seem to have a limit of 2Mbps.
 
Morning guys

Sorry about the issues on Saturday, our network team did have this fixed up pretty quickly though. Looks like DNS was fixed up at around 10am on Saturday.
I'm running through the thread a page at a time, there is a bit to run through, so if I miss anything just shoot me a PM :)
 
I see a few guys are reporting slow throughput to YouTube today...
Please confirm the following, so we can base this on a trend and pass this onto our team.

DSL account type
Location
DNS being used

Thanks guys :)
 
Afrihost, have you been outsourcing your support to the Antarctic? I log a ticket, hear nothing for days, enquire about that ticket, get a promise to receive feedback the next day, and now I'm back to square one. Still no response on anything.

Sorry about the delays :( Our Support guys have been swamped lately.
Happy to check things out though, is there a ref# I can look at?
 
Can someone please help interprete the traceroute results below. I'm not sure what is considered normal or acceptable.

Ping Test:

-snip

Results are a bit tough to make a call on, the latency is all over the show though :(
Can you run a ping to bras.afrihost.com please?
 
I know this isn't the place to ask. If I am stepping on any toes - please ignore my request then.

Can any one recommend a decent wifi router (which won't break the bank) that last longer than 1 year? On my 2nd router in 2 years.

I'd recommend anything from ASUS, if you're still looking for suggestions :)
 
I know its not cool to use the AH techies names in a public thread but ........

Please convey my thanks to Boston ....

I dont know how he managed to grt a Telkom crew to pull a new line on a Saturday / Sunday but he did.

Looking quite a bit better

Only thing now - please sync line at 4megs and happy days :)

Woohoo, that's absolutely awesome to hear :D
 
I had no username of password in, and ssl not enabled. Alt.binz works 100%, just NZBGet gave me that 502 error. Will try again tonight and see. :)

Cool. If you're having issues paste up a screengrab of your settings page so we can see what's going on.
