I found this ironic on the AH site

Does Afrihost have enough capacity to satisfy it's client's needs?
When we changed networks, we ordered over 30% additional network capacity to ensure we had sufficient bandwidth available. However when it became clear that our client's bandwidth needs had grown (possibly due to Telkom upgrades over the October/November period) we immediately ordered additional capacity from Telkom. We are waiting for this to be installed by them, and we have made all the necessary upgrades on our side to ensure we can make full use of the additional capacity as soon as it arrives end of February 2013.

Time for some more capacity. Let's hope by December I can switch back to a Home package

So much apostrophe abuse in so little space. :(
 
I know it's hard, but I hope you guys decide to stick it out. I mentioned earlier, I'm confident that we'll bounce back from this :)
And for your sake, I hope you move 500m away from an MSAN and get no less than 39.99Mbps VDSL :D

VDSL in Waterfall. LOL. Probably not in my lifetime. The max we have is 4mb.

Agreed, I would also like to move back onto the home package, but will go straight to a 10mb package :)
 
The shaping just won't stop. It's getting to the point where I'm suprised when I'm not being shaped. I am trying to download a video from a a site like youtube. That's being shaped. Why can I watch the video no problem, but download the exact video and have it shaped?

I know that shaping is frustrating, and I promise you we're working on solutions to ease it up a bit :(
The shaping will affect P2P and downloads, that's why your video download may be coming down a bit slowly.
 
Hi AfriGuy,

This shaping is really affecting my ping.. I have been playing LoL to EU with 300 ping compared to our normal 195 :( I'm really disappointed! I need an ISP which won't affect my gaming... Please can you assist!

I'm afraid it isn't the shaping affecting your ping, our network has seen (is still seeing somewhat) a very busy day. The latency overall does seem to be normalising slowly - please keep checking :(

Thanks AfriGuy,

I think my exchange is having a few problems too.. :(
 
It is 6pm. After a long day I would like a few hours of online gaming. As usual the Afrihost connection is totally usesless.
 
Gaming shouldn't be affected, the latency issues should have mostly normalised by now :(

As mentioned in the PM, it has been like this for the past two days now, and when I switch to a Telkom test account, it works like a charm. It is not a cable or exchange problem.

Were you perhaps speaking to AfriMan? I don't seem to have a PM from you :(
