yeah things are definately back to normal because i cant browse during the day.

i would of posted the speedtest results of your blistering fast new mtn network but it fails to load the speedtest webpage let alone loading the test...

the whole move to mtn was a huge mother f*****ng failure
you dont have the bandwith at mtn that u had at IS
mtn cant even handle their mobile subsribers and i know that because i am a mtn subscriber
no ipc in capetown? u knew this before u made the move. u werent f****ing thinking or u didnt give a ****

and the best of all u lie to all your customers and pretend nothing is wrong and let them pay for telkom callouts.

u are the worst f****ng isp in africa. u belong in a country like zimbabwe not south africa!

The Speedtest is a lie.
My downloads are going at 40KB/s on Afrihost. Switch to another capped account and it goes up to 212KB/s.

To reiterate. TestMy is not a multi thread test like speedtest. I'm beginning to wonder of speedtest is not also using projected results ?

TestMy will give you the result for a single thread download, which probably is better... *shrugs*. Hence you will hardly see your full line speed, but rather speed of single thread.
 
Speeds was awesome about an hour ago. I am right now throttled to EXACTLY 128kbps.

Well, I'm happy for you, but they did absolutely nothing for me despite spending from last week complaining about the DC issue, other than to refuse a pro-rata refund of unused bandwidth on my capped account. Which tech support said they would do, but accounts then refused to do. And they took two days to get in contact after first contacting them. So I'd say their service is terrible.

Hi SMC.

I believe we've fine tuned majority of our service difficulties and would love to keep you as a client.

Please DM me your details and I'll get this sorted for you and hopefully persuade you for another chance.

Speeds are absolutely crap again tonight... Sorry to say but your maintenance did absolutely nothing.

I received a call from Sidney at Afrihost 2 days ago saying he was going to give me another account to test till further notice, I'm still waiting for the login details.

Afriman doesn't answer his PM so can someone that works at Afrihost please pass the message.
