Aha! Thats the issue. Did you ipconfig /flushdns after changing the DNS? JHB Unotelly have been having some issues resolving certain sites, why don't you try the cape town one for a bit :)

If you are using Cape Town and JHB as your servers, this will happen, use Ireland and something else as Afrihost does not work well with the local servers.

There is a problem with unotelly at the moment. Their local servers are not resolving correctly due to an issue on the CDN routing, which we are busy working on.

They recommend using one of their overseas servers, or switch back to dynamic DNS to make sure you get the best experience.

Well seeing that I get 600kbps on a 4Mbps line, I've stopped wasting my Turbo minutes.
Hopefully things will look up a bit tomorrow.
 
D-day Afriman. I hope, for your sake, that the additional capacity comes online, or you can expect quite a shyte storm heading your way.

Been like this for a few days now :(

Real time is fine though...
