Afrihost Uncapped ADSL Feedback (Pt2)

:whip:

So you're the one making us get shaped


Nah, this shaping system works awesome. Downloads are slow (well not my IOS7 update), but browsing is nice and fast.

And I updated my apps this morning, so I guess I'm the one to blame... now accepting flaming
Good to hear that things are working though, while now may not be the best to test out those download speeds at least you're able to browse

As always, I'll update everyone once the traffic has normalised.

Guys! Seriously - its just a bit of Shaping. I know that Afrihost will get back to normal as soon as this downloading frenzy is over! I haven't been shaped since July, and although I am currently shaped, Afrihost has stuck to its promise and delivered Unshaped Streaming and Browsing!

Thanks for being patient with us, it's much appreciated!
Our IPC traffic is set to normalise soon

Agreed, if you don't like it go to Mweb, you will pay almost double and get half...

Afrihost is #1

We appreciate the constant updates, but it would be cool to have a graph. Plus its a good way for you to boast on how much traffic your network is handling.

The data through Johannesburg Internet Exchange is graphed though; have a look at the past 24 hours on the 7-day graph...

Wow, that's quite a spike!

 

[Seriously]

There is still high usage our network, is browsing/ streaming still working OK for you?

Hell no! Now I will have to rather reconsider and go for TI!

 

[AfriGuy]

Wow, that's quite a spike!

A large spike indeed!

 

[HapticSimian]

Wow, that's quite a spike!

'Tis, yes. Obviously the 'spare' capacity uncapped power users are accustomed to utilising simply doesn't exist at the moment. Sucks, but it is what it is...

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

A large spike indeed!

Twss

Just being generally slow very recently

EDIT:

 

[Zertop]

Okay, seems back to normal for the moment

 

[AfriGuy]

Heya Zertop

I see you found the notice Sorry about this, I'll post an update here in a few mins.

 

[Zertop]

Great! All good for now!

 

[AfriGuy]

Quick update, it looks like the heavy usage on our IPC has dropped off a bit - this trend is over the last 30 mins or so.
Hopefully it keeps going down to our acceptable levels

Will have more feedback once we've done a bit more monitoring.

Yeah, people go home stop abusing their company's internet connections around 5

Shaping percentage dropping!

Shaping is still teh same but Steam downloads are running at full line speed and YouTube 720P streaming is super smooth and buffer free.

Before late last night/ this morning there have been no general issues or excessively high load as there is at the moment.
If there are issues under your account we'll need to investigate this once our network usage has normalised.

Thanks. It actually started on Tuesday already for me in Cpt. I pretty much know what's going to happen. It'll stabilise and my account will be back to normal. Eventually.

Still wouldn't think of cancelling.
