Why do people still insist Afrihost is better just because they're cheaper?
I don't get it...

Afrihost Uncapped ADSL Feedback

10Mbps throttled to 4.65Mbps
Done 58.48GB for the month only
My Afrihost 1GB capped prepaid, you can clearly see no throttling.
This is just to show where we are today, various times of the day.

My line has been awesome since I signed up in June/July, barring one time when there were also network issues I consistently would get full line speed on most things and perfect YouTube streaming. This is the first time it has been this bad though and for so long.

15minutes later. wow but I am still 55% faster then rest of ZA
I don't recall many people claiming that Afrihost's services outshone any other ISP.
I'm with them for cost reasons (and on the assumption that these problems will be fixed), but I still tell people to go with Mweb if they want to pay for the best.

My line has likewise been awesome for the last two months, so I'm hoping that it'll soon return to the same service levels as I'm not a heavy user. They're obviously having problems with upstream providers atm.
The so-called inability to identify the source of the problem seems somewhat unlikely and one hopes that this is not a case of financial distress if performance is seemingly less than halved all of a sudden with no direct network failure identified?

Mweb seem to be having the same issue this week as well. So you would have been paying more yet have the same problem
I'm sure Afrihost was voted best ISP not so long ago if i remember correctly.

Oh really? I should go troll their thread then
True.
Sorry, I was trying to say that that (in my opinion) there has never really been grounds to claim that the performance of Afrihosts' consumer uncapped is superior. Just by having a threshold counts them out and everyone is aware of IS's shortcomings.

I'm sure all ISP uncapped services have a threshold. Afrihost 250GB + threshold i would say is pretty decent, anything more than that is abuse in my opinion. That’s based on 4Mbps line, 10Mbps obviously being higher

Wow thanks! Out of interest I checked when I signed up and it's been less than 60 days! <3
It felt like an eternity -_-
Edit: I also checked what my usage was. 60GB this month and last. Limited purely because the account was so friggin slow!

From Openweb thread: "Daytime performance has been exceptionally poor on 4MB Gold IS this week. I'm talking HTTP, not NNTP or P2P"
This is something bigger than us, I suspect it will end up being the International links...
