Let's see if we can resolve this when we add additional capacity, becuase it's pretty hard to test for otherwise. We should have this live pretty soon in the North, so I'll let you guys know when this happens

Noooo, us Southerners are the mountain state, man!Let's see if we can resolve this when we add additional capacity, becuase it's pretty hard to test for otherwise. We should have this live pretty soon in the North, so I'll let you guys know when this happens
Just kidding, the North needs it alot more than we do
(This is beginning to sound like a Game of Thrones episode)

Afriman, it seems that my usage hasn't been logged correctly. I have no usage logged from the 24th to the 27th of this month.On the 23rd I have usage of 44.39GB (on a 2meg line!). Clearly my usage over those few days is being logged under the 23rd.
This is strange indeed! Could you drop me a PM with your account info so I can take a closer look into this for you?

Maybe on the more expensive unshaped business accounts, because the people who mentioned netflix is running fine also recommended the business account instead of the home account
We should be getting additional IPC capacity in the North shortly. So let's not book the movers just yet
Any confirmed timelines?
Hi Afriman.
I am currently on a 1mb/s uncapped account with afrihost for R197/pm and have been reasonably happy with the service.
Telkom has increased my line speed to 2MB/s. I see that currently the afrihost 2mb/s uncapped package costs R297pm.
Many ISPs have reduced their 2mb/s uncapped offering in the region of R200pm.
Are there any plans for Afrihost to do the same. I am now finding considerably better value with other ISPs.
I am hoping that Afrihost will be dropping there prices.
Can you advise further.

I think they mentioned they'll be reviewing prices next month.
As far as I know people have reported similarly on both, but there could be more people on business using netflix. I don't have any stats in this regard
You can cancel anytime before the 25th of the month, so that will only be possible next month as we;re already in the billing run. Cancellation would scheduled for the last day of the month.
Maybe go for a Free GB for now, to try out our network

We are most likely not going to offer 2Mbps upgrades autmatically, but we are planning to review our products and prices once the upgrades are completed in Mid-Feb. Hopefully getting a reduction in IPC will also help us in that as well.
I really can't make any commitments at this stage though, anything could happen (especially where Gian is concerned). I can only promise that it will be awesome
I've been using Afrihost a a backup to my 3 other accounts and for my hosting. I'd just like to see if the business uncapped is as nice as the free 1gig. Might just give it a bash consider the cancellation isn't too long like some other ISPs.
