Please feel free to drop me a discreet PM. Can't get through the weekend without a little vice![]()

The longer I stay with Afrihost the more depressed I get.
Had terrible issues with download speeds and high latency in the past. Thought that the business upgrade would assist.... alas i am a gullible soul. Nothing has changed all i get for logging tickets is the same generic emails from there support staff. The moment i switch to my telkom account downloads and latency is fine.
Can someone please advise if there is a contact number/email for someone who actually deals with customer issues not some autobot support staff member?
You're using the same network here, routing and everything else identical. Only think I can imagine is that your port was reset when you switched accounts![]()
Afriman, as mentioned my issue are intermittent, works 1 day, then issues every other day... hence why I have escalated my problem further up... will post again when I get the issue.
Try phoning support and getting hold of Jaydy. This guy is a wizard in sorting out this type of problem,Router is just few months old. Haven't had any issues till few weeks ago.
That ERR error few others were having it also previously, not sure if they still are though.
The wireless connection dropping and coming back I don't know if that could be a router issue. I am using cable so if wireless does drop it switches to cable instantly but the drop is so quick it's barely even noticeable.

My updates on Linux distribution Kali is slow...getting around 56kB/s on a 4mb uncapped line. I checked in client zone and Im not being shaped. Other downloads are normal.

Vox Boys! VOX!! I cancelled afrihost and every subscription I had with them cause they still charge me the same amount for cr@p.
I'm a happy chappie, Internet is bliss once again.
I'm still a subscriber till my account expires on the 1st , So I will say my say. Afrihost You Waste Peoples Money and Patience.
You guys really messed up your Brand Name !!!! Even Telkom's performance is more stable than yours.
Been your Guinea pig far to long.
Bleeeh!!!!
Just hope they dont spam me with their sweet talk on cool products.
I'm SOOO SOUR over Afrihost after after so many years!!!! I want to revenge attack!
Agree 1000% Ran out my cap on Vox and now have to revert to Africrap (beacuse i still have a account) And it @#ks !!! Big time!!!
I changed my server to : za.archive.ubuntu.com
But it is still slow.
This is definitely on the exchange side. My exchange doesn't seem to like a traceroute to this IP, but it does let me ping:
