We should see the capacity up and running soon, don't have a date just yet
Do you know when Telkom is coming out of their network freeze period?
We only recently reduced our bundle pricing to fall in line with Telkoms changes, our system will automatically adjust the pricing as soon as we get confirmation from Telkom that your line has been upgraded

I also see now the website says R397 but i paid R497. You sure it will change automatically @AfriGuy ?
Edit: Nevermind, see my invoice says R397

So - what do you guys think of the speeds on my new VPS Server. And This is an international speedtest
Not bad. Should stream Hulu Plus without too much buffering.
I see it's adjusted for you already
As soon as Telkom confirm the upgrade with us we adjust our existing clients pricing.

Why is AH shaping Steam downloads now? Last time I needed to get game files, steam was at least flying irrespective of other services, now it's:
Shaping Policy: 18.8% Download/ 6.25% P2P
Steam shows 68.6KB/S CURRENT, it takes more than a day to grab a game's full files...
The other question I have is, AH sent me an email saying congrats, due to new telkom pricing I can upgrade for less or stay on the same line speed : "Uncapped 4096 kbps; DSL (up to 10mbps) Current Sync Rate: 4096kbps" and save R100
I elect to stay on the 4meg line only to be told that I will then also have to stay on the price I am currently paying for the service... What happened to the "congrats you will save" story?

The same policy applies for any downloads, regardless if it's HTTP or not. It's still a download. As for the other question, you'll have to wait for AfriGuy to answer that.

PS: The shaping has been horrendous today. Been stuck on 18% Download / 6% P2P for the entire duration of the day. Network being flooded again?

First realistic work day of the year, so guessing yeah.
