Afrihost Uncapped ADSL Feedback (Pt2)

[AfriMan]

Got some awesome news. Looks like the work on the network last night was to add additional IPC to the North network. We're seeing a significant improvement in shaping compared to what we've seen of late

I'd still like to encourage everyone to use late night off-peak hours for torrents and downloads. It would be great if we can really make the most of this new capacity so that everyone gets there fair share.

Having said that ... Gentleman, start your engines!!!!

I'm still getting horrible speed though. No shaping on my line and everything from downloads not exceeding 50KB/s to youtube buffering at 144p.

Your ping already looks too high, so can you download the network test app and post me the results by PM or in the thread? South network is running like a bomb this morning

Is this the full quota you ordered or just some provisional capacity as in November?

I'm downloading Thor: The Dark World movie at 2kbps

Your linux distro is downloading at 2kbps?

Hi Afriman,

does the new capacity mean streaming will be better. Currently youtube buffers on 480p. Am on a 2mb uncapped

Sorry to hear this, have you run any troubleshooting on our end?

Our realtime services have always been top notch, even when we did see the heavier than normal shaping

Which is it? I'm just waiting on you guys before I fire up my business uncapped again.

Will test again tonight. Last night Netflix was the slowest it has ever been, so I had to switch back to my other account. Unfortunately I'm in the CPT area

I'm back and ready to help

Is it safe to move back to uncapped?
