Afrihost Uncapped ADSL Feedback

[kripstoe]

Well said... We should all be refunded.. Directors should stop getting their fat bonuses and we should be refunded or at least give a "free month" for their mess up. Its only fair.

What the? You sound like Cosatu.

Just got home and tested my speed again, and suddenly getting full speed on http/steam/nzb/torrents/Youtube?!?
Wonder if Afrihost disabled the QoS today just before everybody cancels the weekend, and then enables it again from Monday.

 

[Sony_3G]

Nope. No such luck. Im back to 5KB/s on torrents... Had a good burst this morning though.

 

[zahadoom]

im lucky if i get 3kbps

 

[Freakboy]

Spoke too soon, back down to 30Kbps on a 4Mbps line
Plugg here I come

oh great.

Torrents capped at 5Kb/s THE WHOLE DAY. Nice one Afrihost.

 

[snapple]

anyone have a suggestion on a decent service? OpenWeb has a 1mb gold uncapped for 229/month. Any other deals worth considering?

Afrihost - how about moving back to your pre-MTN account. Couldn't possibly be worse than what you're selling us now. "You're now on the MTN network" is more of a warning than a feature!

It is now 17h50 my download speeds are at 30KB/s on a 1MB line for all downloads.

I don't expect a 100MB DJ set to download or to be completed in 3hours on a 1MB line.

@AfriMan is there light at the end of the tunnel for this wacky QOS to be up to modern standards at what we have come to expect from Afrihost as a ISP?

 

[lilggg]

Lol also downloading a mix at 30kB/s on 1mb

is there light at the end of the tunnel ...

@Afriman - give us an honest answer to what the story is, and what we can expect.
Oh - and given how terrible this month has been, think you should offer your uncapped clients a month's free access. But only after you fix your network.

you guys are screaming! I'm stuck on 5Kb/s!

Lol also downloading a mix at 30kB/s on 1mb

5 times faster than my 1MB line. makes me wonder how the 384k people would've been feeling if it still existed

 

[Sinbad]

Just started an nntp download

...testmy is actually a bit better, bit still far from 2mbs.

Looking good on afrihost :twisted:

 

[Sinbad]

Still going strong

I was still okay with it when I was downloading at 30KB/s, but this is getting ridiculous now. 7KB/s for two days straight. So what was the verdict on the cutt-off date with cancelling afrihost? 15th or 25th?

I get the same. What is your usage so far for this month?
