Battling like **** to download BF3 update on PS3! 890 min to download a 1.9GB file....WTF
Is anyone else on Afrihost battling to get this update?
Update: tried my FNB account and estimated time is 95 min.
Afrihost network is seriously screwed

Skype to America is crystal on my 2M line.
Flash? seriously... you actually update that crap ?
Although, ill agree with you on the game updates, that sucks and is a legitimate concern.

How very mature of you, but you obviously failed to read that I explicitly stated 'HTTP'. Yes, it takes me more than an hour to download a 60MB file on a 2Mbps Afrihost account.

I'm still trying to finish downloading my digital copy, 2.6GB done in 2 days...
You obviously failed to read my reply was directed to torrents, and then you deliberately misquoted me to push your own agenda or were you feeling a bit left out of the conversation and wanted attention drawn to you? So you got what you asked for buddy.
Yeah, thats so crappy, that type of thing should be done in 3 or so hours. Using ubisofts client thing? (that sucks completely)
Maybe Afriman can work some magic and get those gaming ips unshapped/unthrottled?

gaming should get top priority
Wow that is bad, thats like dialup speed!
I've been doing some speed tests thoughout the day, and I've found that normally it goes really fast to UK for half the test and the last bit it just dies to dialup speeds. Maybe they throttle it after a certain size?
Although a speed to test to UK now is yielding a constant(ish) 0.9Mb - still doesnt explain your crap dialup speeds...
(+1ing is so old school)
