eff me, what a long day of frustrating usage of afrigreen. To be honest the past 2 weeks have been heaven with Afrigreen, but since yesterday, everything just went to sh***. I kept hoping things would somehow improve within 48 hours, but i have given up and reverted to my back up. I have had enough of this, even spotify is buffering, are you kidding me?

Must say I'm getting tired of the changes being implemented on a friday and us dealing with it over the weekend.

I have been on AfriRed for the past two weeks and things seem to have normalized and performance is great. AfriGreen has not been a very good experience for me, I think there were 3 or 4 Days when AfriGreen actually worked. But this whole beta testing, boy Afrihost a really drawing it out. We are sitting at 2 months if I am not mistaken.

Yeah even today while my torrent downloading seems to be going okay. Browsing is poor.

Been this way since early parts of the morning.

I download at full *line speed, until about 5Meg into the download - at which point it drops down to 0Kbps and fails...

This is even on my AfriVanilla account? Vox works, however.

Difference in speed tests are back. My network experience is good. Pages open quickly and YouTube doesn't buffer.

Are there any capped packages that offer 600GB+ a month for a similar cost to AH Business Uncapped ? ... ... Really considering pausing my line until they sort their crud out
 
Not to sure why we just accepts this inferior service and not doing anything about it, what makes it worse we are paying for it, I am going to vote with me feet

The problem for some of us is the value factor ... For example I have managed to somehow use over 500gb of data this month (and I was barely downloading compared to normal) and that was for a cheaper price than I can find a 400GB package anywhere else.

If I can do this with a crap line, image what 400 would be like to me if I actually have full speed all month
 
Download speeds are perfect as usual, but I've found Youtube is useless in Firefox and okay in Chrome. Rather annoying using a second browser for Youtube, but at least it works.

Mine is fine with 720 HD, but buffers every minute or so in 1080
 
Slow browsing, downloading and streaming, high pings local and international accompanied with a high jitter and packet loss. Great!
