Tested out some Binnelanders now, streams all good
As you are just up the road from me and they are also in Wynburg, what speeds were you getting?

I've just tested one download, downloading without using download manager and downloading at around 600kbps and able to browse all websites.
Tested the exact same download with download manager and downloading at 600kbps and unable to browse those certain websites.
Never had this problem with download manager before. Seems like the problem might be the download manager. Could it actually cause certain websites not to load? And it only happens with my Afrihost account. Why would it only happen with one ISP and not another?

speeds have taken a 50% dip in the last 15 min

That's not too bad, could be squeezing a bit more though.
I'm really not sure how this is happening, never seen this before - and with all the tests I've done, I can't seem to have this replicated.
Not seeing this reflected in tests or graphs - any tests you can paste here?
You've tried downloading with Internet Download Manager also?
Should I try maybe deleting my network connection and setting up a new one?

it has now stopped completely
Yup, and FDM on Windows 7 and Windows 10.
Also tried maxing out my line with torrents and NNTP both separately and together with as many connections as possible - site's still loaded.
The network is up and running, any tests you can post here?
Oh okay. That's very strange. Do you think if I delete my network connection and set up a new one that might work?
That may work, otherwise maybe look at setting up some basic QoS on the router?
I'll try the former first and see what happens.
To set up the connection after I delete my current one. What steps should I use?
Are you wanting to recreate the profile on your PC or router?
On my PC.
Not really sure where to start with that, maybe try uninstalling drivers and re-adding them? My Windows knowledge is not so hot.
Oh okay.
Deleting and recreating your network connection will probably not fix the fault. You should learn to live without the download manger as it is obviously the reason for your browsing woes.
The fact that it only affect your Afrihost account could be due to the load balancer they employ which frequently changes your routing.
Alternatively you could experiment with another download manager until you find one that will work with the Afrihost account.
