I was persistent and waited over 3.5 hours for a response on their WhatsApp support. Then support ends up being useless. Waited for installation to happen, support confirmed it would happen. Didn't happen.FML

Unfortunately thats my only option :X3:

We have 2 lines Frogfoot and Openserve. The frogfoot one disconnects like 3 times a day and has heavy packet loss, The Openserve Line has none never disconnected and has 0 packet loss. Just wish Openserve wasn't as expensive so I can get faster speed

Edit: Though I would rather pay the price I pay now for stable internet than speed

Hi,

And even Speedtest is not working now... FFS, what a bunch of muppets

Afrihost support is now mirroring their Internet service speeds.
Non-existent.
  • I could barely load this forum page.
  • SSH connections are timing out.
  • POP3 is intermittent.
  • Speedtest.net cannot find an "optimal server"
  • And worst: packet-loss over the VPN to the office looks like below:

Yes, that's right ... 50% packet-loss most of the time, 100% packet-loss some of the time over VPNs.

If you want to work from home, Afrihost is not the ISP for you. We've been through something similar with Afrihost years ago, but then they clearly communicated the issues and let us know they were working hard on solving the problem. This time 'round ... not so much.

Is there a difference between the MyBB one and the speedtest.co.za ?

The MyBB server is located on the IX backbone while the speedtest servers are hosted in the ISPs own space. MyBB is moe indicative of the user experience.

Anyone else having issues with their username.ip.afrihost.co.za not pointing to the correct IP address?
