Ok well on a 10meg business line, with poor speeds all month, since the 1st till now (15 days aprox 50% of the month) I have used 52.743 gb according to their portal. Call it 53, so I guess I'm on path to use 106 odd per month. So yeah, guess the limit is lower than 100gb allowed per month on a business account.

Lower than that. Earlier today a someone said that he phone afrihost and they told him he was throttled because of abuse. He said he did 27GB.

Yeah sorry I was replying to someone saying it was low, I have no clue of the figure. Afrihost officially said it was like 320gb a few pages (hundreds of pages?) back, but I have no clue now.

Clearly its throttling if 1mb = 30kB/s 2mb = 60kB/s and 4mb = 120kB/s from what ppl have posted.

So I get full line speed on HTTP and just slightly lower on NNTP and Torrents, that's shaping.

I did 160GB last month and 90GB so far this month.

It's clearly not affecting everyone.

local test on a 4mb!
 
they only gave us better *** speeds for the last two days to give us hope and to make us decide not to cancel
 
My great speeds also did not last too long.
On speedtest.net to Cape Town last night I was getting around 0.28mb/s Jhb 0.32mb/s and Durban 0.21mb/s.. This, after I was getting great speeds the 4 days before.
Also after a reboot of the router.
YouTube was crawling with buffering.
It was around 8 in the evening.
4mb/s uncapped. PE
 
Well last night i gave the help centre a call (was at 0.1mb/s on a 10mb line) cause i wanted to put in some guild wars 2 time, after a considrable wait, i was told that it was my line and they will log a call with telkom, i told him this is not the case!

To prove it i bought a Openweb R29 1 GB capped, changed over and got full line speed (8.93 mb/s), don't
think the gentlemen was very happy with me

While i can understand they have issues, which i am somewhat patiently waiting for them to resolve, i really do miss IS ;(

That's the biggest gripe I have with afrihost at the moment. They just try to shove the problem to you or someone else instead of admitting they are the problem
