Afrihost POC Network - Afrigreen Feedback

Hummercellc · Aug 22, 2015

Still on the go slow here
AfriGreen = 1mbps (20meg line)
AfriRed = 18mbps (20meg line)

EtienneK · Aug 22, 2015

Extremely slow since yesterday. Can't stream any video or music.

LaraC · Aug 22, 2015

The network is slower than usual but I'm still able to watch YouTube and browse without noticing any degradation in performance.

steel_dog · Aug 22, 2015

Down in CPT. Performance is awful.
<9mbps on a 20mbps line.
Arrrggggggggggggg.........

@Afripeeps
Spinning aside... This POC is proving massively unstable guys. It's been WEEKS and there's no stability in sight.
Time to try the alternate. Please?!?!?!?

I submit as much info as I can via ClientZone, nothing seems to get better. Just worse.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Every damn weekend now Afrigreen is just about unusable it's so slow and the latency on the old Afrihost is so high that it's also not an option. Lucky for me I still have Vox but why the hell must I pay for two ISP's. Afrihost I was always loyal to you but you gave me now no choice but to pick between VOX and Afrihost and so far you fail miserably! Also remember with VOX cutting their prices you are not the cheapest ISP any more and VOX carry over unused Data indefinitely where with Afrihost don't give a damn you just loose what you don't use even though it's your crappy networks fault!

lol. It's funny how people think that their favorite ISP actually owes them anything, and how it's the ISP's fault they need 2 accounts.

South African's die-hard loyalty is the worst of the seven sins.

Comparison between Telkom and Afrigreen. Both are running very well.

Currently yes, but haven't gamed for the last 3 days. Working on uni projects, all due next week + exams.
Haven't heard a complaint from anyone else in the house either.

I wonder what the result would be if Afrihost conducted a poll for people who tested the POC network.

yeah. In the evenings/weekends most things start dying. I still want them to roll out IPC in Cape Town as the extra ~40ms are annoying for skype calls, especially if there are already delays due to issues. I'd rather have the 40ms breathing space.

EDIT:

Martinvs said:
Well if our South African loyalty bothers you so much get the hell out of the country! Nowhere did I say Afrihost owes me anything because I have to pay for 2 ISP's just mentioned it to state a case that you have to have a backup ISP if you are a client of Afrihost! They reward you as they call it with free data that a person can't even use.

I have used most of it. Am on a 150GB package, they gave an extra 100GB, so 250GB this month. Quite useful as I got a new laptop and had to get a lot of software (e.g. android studio + addons comes to 25GB). Got 60GB left this month.

Weekends still don't have not the best performance.

Streaming struggling at the moment.
