Streaming on udemy.com is absolutely atrocious on both Afrihost Business and Afrigreen. Getting desperate here - if this doesn't improve it could ruin next week for me. I'll be buying a prepaid account on another ISP shortly I think.
I asked a friend on Crystal Web to check if Udemy streaming works for them and they said they were having no trouble at 1080p.

It uses a Flash player. Where do you get the stats or resolution?

Please remember business uncapped is "prioritised not shaped". Tsk tsk. ;):p

It makes a big difference, I was having problems with shaping my income so I prioritised and found a new ISP that not only works but are constantly adding value not promises.
 
With VOX now having a 600GB package for only R100 more than what my business uncapped is costing me ... ... I am considering putting my afrijoke on hold until they sort this crap out


Anyone know if I cancel lets say on the 20th, does my line get put on hold immediately or will I still have access till the end of the month?

What do you mean? You can change the player settings on each video, ala Youtube. My Flash is up to date btw.

Is the option to change players only available to subscribed users?

You will have access till the 1st of the following month.
Mine has been on hold the past 3 months but now I am out of time. With 300Gb in the bank at VOX, the fact that they have upped it to 150GB/month for free, the pending announcement on the 6th and most importantly the fact that it actually works 24/7. I think my mind is made up, that suspension will be cancellation, I have waited too long and the grass is most definitely greener.

Is 3 months the longest you can put on hold ? ... ... If you put your line on hold you can reactivate it at anytime right ?

I just checked and there is an option to choose between Flash and HTML5 in my preferences. HTML5 was selected by default. Going to try Flash now.

Udemy isn't a subscription service, so they don't have subscribers?

How is it cheaper going with a Vox capped account? Just the data for their 750GB account is R1499pm. +R425 for a 10Mbps line and you've got R1924pm - significantly more than the 10Mbps AH Business bundle.

I said it's about R100 more expensive for me. I don't pay line fees just the data package (company perk, if I go with Vox else I pay the full fee like I am currently)

If you go with a 500GB bundle then it would be like R125 more expensive than AH but at least the network works. (most users don't need more than that)

If you are referring to the res, the highest that Udemy supports (to my knowledge) is 720 and is available to anyone who can access the course.
I don't have access to the flash player which I am guessing is available to older browsers as a fallback.
 
Account: 10Mbps Home Capped

Speed test to Johannesburg unchanged but Cape Town is slower than usual.

Thank you, I’m using Microsoft Edge. The videos played without any problems on the Flash Player.
