AfriHost Uncapped 4MB

[Heksmeester]

Hi guys,

I was wondering how much data you guys get out of your 4mbps AfriHost uncapped accounts before they throttle your connection? Also, how is media streaming and gaming latency on their uncapped packages? Thinking of making the switch but I would like to hear hands-on feedback first. Don't want to sit around waiting for YouTube videos to load or lag like crazy on XBox Live. :erm:

Thanks in advance!

On 4Mbps you'll definitely get 250Gb+ in a 30 day rolling window (not month to month). We'll be reviewing these closely to see if we can extend these totals very soon, or revise the prioritisation model completely.

Soon ...

Thanks! What about YouTube streaming, etc during the day?

Youtube works great, torrents good. Played CSS on an IS server got 12ms ping constant. Using Afrihost uncapped bundle 10mbps and very happy

Im also considering the move...
I currently pay on average R750 pm for my Telkom line plus bandwidth from them.

Want to go uncapped now, but want to be paying close to what I am now... though expect to pay slightly more.
Would have preferred unshaped, but semi-shaped will do.

What will my costs be if I was to move, and would Afrihost move my account for me or would I have to go about it myself?

Pretty crappy experience since I was moved to mtn. YouTube still buffers, general latency high. I don't have the entire day to bench test my line and post stats. This is just from ordinary day to day use.

I have the opposite experience. I switched today. It's 3pm, I've got full 400+ on torrents, imdb trailers faster than before. I haven't done any gaming yet, but I was getting +-180ms to europe, which is fine for me. Any improvement will be a real bonus. So thumbs up so far
