Hello. Have had Afrihost Fibre for a good few months with no problems at all, very happy. I recently noticed some pricing changes etc. I am currently still on a "Home Package 4mb - 2mb" @R497 p/m and noticed that I can get a faster connection for R98 less than what I am currently paying. Should I be editing the package? What gives?

install pingplotter, set interval to 1 sec and run for 600 count.
also manually set dns to 9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1
 
Regarding the Fibre Promo. If I sign up this month, and it only gets installed after the first, how would that affect my 2 months free service?

It starts inside the month when it gets activated. So if it goes live on 15 Sept - then the rest of Sept is counted as month 1 and then October is month 2. You will then start paying in November.

Can anyone from Afrihost confirm this?

Thanks, my brother signed up earlier this week, and I'll be signing up now as well then.

It only seems fair, but I had to be sure.

The idea is to get it activated as close the first of any particular month so that you get the maximum benefit of the two months. Those peeps that migrate - they get 3 months, and then there is @STORMERSFAN who managed to wangle 4 months for free !!! :whistling::whistling::whistling:
