I'm honestly not sure, I know the Home Uncapped stuff and fibre is relatively new.
I know we've been running some tweaks on the site this morning, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Maybe the website team is just really exited about the 8 hour midnight data.

By the way, I was trying to browse the Afrihost website on my phone the other day and it wasn't possible to flick between packages. The arrow buttons didn't work in Dolphin, Chrome or Firefox.

I shall check it out, thanks for the heads up :)
 
When I do a speedtest locally i get around 95Mb, what results should I be getting internationally on a 100Mb line. First day on my afrihost account and downloading around 9.4mb/s so I'm very happy but my pings internationally haven't changed at all so was just wondering.

Hard to give you an idea of international throughput, each region will differ slightly. It should be pretty close to your line sped though.

Your latency should reduce by 10-20ms, your international speedtests if single-threaded would maybe only hit 10-15Mbps. Check this link out on it: https://www.duckware.com/blog/how-windows-is-killing-internet-download-speeds/index.html

EDIT:
So elevated command prompt, type in
Code: 
netsh interface tcp set heuristics disabled

@AfriGuy: I see that the 'Green' account shares the bandwidth allocation with the normal one. Has the new network been migrated across (i.e. is there any point in having both)? The available GB's are right but 50% used seems like a weird way to handle it, unless it's some kind of April 1st prank:

We've migrated over to our new network ages ago :)
Afrigreen is essentially just an alias of your regular account.

Odd that the data links are reflected used usage already - shoot me a PM with your DSL username and I can see what's causing this.
I can only think that this is roll-over data - although it shouldn't reflect you've used 50% of your monthly usage.
 
AfriGuy;

My account is messed up - it got capped earlier, I topped up - now it's acting up - I've rebooted multiple times (PC and router), everything is slow - I can't even get to the Afrihost Control Panel (page keeps loading)
On TeamSpeak my friends 'stutter'
When I play Division - anything I do - doesn't register or it registers 'later' (like shooting enemies)
No downloads happening - slow speeds.
MyBB struggles to load - SA Gamer struggles to load.

Odd, not seeing any general issues on our end.
Can I take a look at a speedtest and a traceroute please?
