Afrihost Uncapped ADSL Feedback

[FapCop]

And the driver download failed at 13%. Internet on my computer is now EXACTLY as slow and useless as on my MTN cellpone.

Looking good...

I am also struggling with Afrihost since the switch over. I am situated in Secunda, ping times to Jozi servers after 6pm is usually between 700ms to 1300ms. I'm on a 2M line, and speed test results jump between almost max to about 200kb between tests. Not able to stream radio at 22kb reliably at the moment, let alone trying to watch anything from youtube.

I have sent Afriman a mail, got a reply that they are working on the issues but I guess I will have to switch if this continues for much longer.

Which ISP is a good & reliable alternative? I dont need uncapped, use about 15G max per month?

This is Really frustrating!

The Secunda exhange is congested.

Hammer Telkom with calls until they upgrade the exchange.

terrible speeds since last night ... only 60kbps on a 2mb line .... this is like a reverse of peak hours .... as it seemed before 7/8pm I was able to get upto 200kbps but after 8pm not more than 60kbps ..... afrihost ... please sort this **** out already

really starting to feel ripped off right now .. can only imagine what the 10mb guys must be feeling

Anyone syncing between Toodledo and Outlook using gSyncit?

I can no longer sync using my uncapped account. I keep getting the following error: Error = Error while updating item. Unable to connect to the remote server

I can still sync without a problem using a capped 1GB Afrihost account.

Any ideas?

Just double checked and the Afrihost capped also bombs out. No problems on my Telkom account though.

Speeds are good this morning - now if we can get the latency sorted out.
Local latency in Pietermaritzburg:
Afrihost uncapped account 34ms
Telkom account 13ms

Thas pretty normal. Problem is people dont have references. Uncapped accounts never perform like capped accounts. At least your mates Mweb line is consistent.
