My speeds are good now - getting 4mb no probs! Cape Town, Southern Suburbs.

 

[HapticSimian]

Public holiday, folks. Just keep it in mind.

 

[Piesang]

Just checking in.

I'll probably be able to test on Saturday.

I hate complaining so much, but is anyone getting anything better out there?

Yes, much!

Speed is terrible yesterday and today

1mb uncapped account and I'm not even getting half that! Set a file do download overnight and it's only downloaded about 23% this morning.

Apologies @Afrihost. Changed my line to my telkom data account and it is extremely slow as well!

I've been using a capped 4Mbps Afrihost account for the duration of the IPC upgrade and it's been great. I switched back to my business uncapped account today, just to see if there's been any improvement, and I'm not getting much more than 2Mbps. My opinion that it's throttling remains unchanged. Will know for sure when we get a proper business day on Monday.

 

[AfriMan]

Sounds like in general things have gotten better, that's really great to hear. I'm told that although Telkom's upgrade was the bulk of the issue, IS will continue fine tuning the network over the weekend, and everything should stabilise by Monday.

This should be a good indication as much of the business traffic is only going to return to full capacity after the long weekend.

Please keep posting your experiences and results so I can monitor how things progress.

My connection have definitely improved somewhat over the last week. I'm happy now, I can stream and watch YouTube without buffering and download an odd "Linux distro" or two later in the evenings. That is all I want

Been better yesterday and today for me, but it was a pub hol and I'm sure many people have taken today off too.

Seems fine now. weird.

 

[Dan C]

It's back !! Seems all sorted now. Thanks for all the work Afrihost

How are your international speeds? Someone please post tests to New York?

10 meg uncapped. Upload is a bit slack.

 

[JerryMungo]

Yeah... upload is slack considering i'm getting 400k+ upload from Openweb over IS to NY. That said, I'm getting 200k download from them so they are having issues. This is the last time I touch an IS product.

 

[blunt]

My uploads are fine internationally, download could be better - 4MB uncapped

 

[BANG_Mutha]

Afriman, I've been using the 10mb uncapped and speeds have been excellent all along, no hassles at all. I've done over 450GB now and I think I've been throttled because my maximum speed on news servers has dropped from average of 950Kbps to 350Kbps. I thought that the 10mb uncapped can't drop lower than 4mb...is this the case? so from now on will my max download speed be 350Kbps?

 

[BANG_Mutha]

eish, now its down to 250Kbps average. Afrimaaaaan, help!
