i am, order is in! and getting another router lol.

gigabit?

 

[sand_man]

Not bad though. Still worth maybe saving some money switching over to Afrihost

Yeah, remember that's on a gigabit line.

 

[cavedog]

When you say lower than you ever got on Supersonic, are you talking about the ping?

Yeah Supersonic is around 165ms or so and speeds maxed was like 136Mbps or so single. Yeah sorry noticed now what I typed does not really make sense

gigabit?

nah, R499 cheapy, i'm poor now with all this isp hopping.

 

[sand_man]

Yeah, think I'm going to switch. As good as Home-connect has been, I stand to save just under R7k over 3 months. It's a no-brainer...

 

[AfriMan]

That is an interesting question

So what if someone moves and stays with the same FNO ( Say Openserve ) - surely that should be OK ?

Generally lines can't be transferred - I don't think even Openserve do it. So it will always be a new signup.

First night after changing from capped to Pure Uncapped - No issues this side. Happy

Awesome!

That sounds promising - you mind posting some test results when you have some time?

Wow, I think those are some of the best results we've ever seen on the Wingnut test!!

Junna - i just hope this isn't like back in the Telkom Uncapped LTE days where it ran all guns blazing for the first few months, and then went south rapidly once everyone jumped on it......I will try to stay optimistic though....

Any way to get my number changed in the system? Trying to sign up and it’s asking me for an OTP that’s sent to a number I don’t currently have on me.

You need to call them and have a manual otp emailed to you. Then you can change your cellphone number in clientzone.

I get why Afrihost (or any other ISP for that matter) would not give real time view of their network and utilization, but would really love to see how busy they get, and more importantly how close they get to full capacity.

@AfriMan, I'd like to migrate from Rocketnet to your 100/100 offering. They have a 1 month cancellation notice. How do we go about this?
