Afrihost Uncapped ADSL Feedback (Pt2)

[Zertop]

I think that's the basic concept. I don't know if there are business to business agreements to cache specific content like Steam downloads.

Yea, thatll have to be asked of the businesses themselves

 

[Catal]

We are not upgrading data accounts at the moment, so once your line upgrades, you can go into ClientZone and upgrade your data.

Otherwise we will also send you a mail when Telkom confirms the line has been upgraded, so that you can decide.

You can also choose to downgrade your line in most instances to opt for a saving rather than extra speed

So what you're really saying is that I have to look for an ISP that does do a free upgrade?

Think about it.... Cheap isn't always good. If you go for a cheaper package with another ISP, you might experience more shaping etc

my latancy just jumped... from sub 50ms to 200- 300ish to afrihost.com

Both on capped and uncapped all on the 3rd hop and the rest of the way through

Third hop? What's your setup at home like?

Could you perhaps paste the results here so we can have a look?

 

[IzZzy]

Thanks Afriman, the switch to 75gig appears to have gone through. Line is absolutely flying. Wish I could get this on uncapped.

 

[Wolfling]

AfriMan has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.

Time for some spring cleaning?

been some weird stuff happening up and down this street Tired of mailing you guys and Telkom... my mate down the road has been having weird issues too... it just comes out of no were and we are never effected at the same time :/

My line was fine for a bit just now... managed to get a decent 30ms ping on bf4 for a bit...

Another weird thing.... my line doesnt sync at 2meg ... i know im still on a 1 meg account but surely i could still have my line sync at a faster rate.. (giving me the max up and down speeds available from you guys?)

Log into your router and it will tell you what you syncing at.

While you there look at your SNR and atten.

Ive logged into my router a few times.. cant seem to find the sync speed :/ im going to guess im syncing at 2 meg though... speedtest sits at 1meg download and doesnt move... I am still on a 1meg uncapped account though...

afrihost client zone reports my snr at 23 and atten at 18

DSLAM results report snr as 29 and atten at 33.5

I think ive got my own Afrihost type of shaping on my Microtik RB750. I will test acounts at work and stream HD, when i get home after 5 I can see on winbox that the RB only allows 320kbps to 512kbps max to anything in xbmc. Anyone have any ideas that maybe knows this RB? Everything else like netflix and youtube is super fast.

AfriMan, clean up your inbox please. It is full so I cant PM you.

Hey Guys, Afriguy should also be able to help you. Regarding the tracerts above, those indicate quite erratic exchange congestion. You should be able to contact live support and they'll do all the required things to help you out.

Does anyone know if this price is for an uncapped account?
