Then when it goes back to being slow, will you cancel the cancellation of the cancellation?

:wtf: It only took about an hour to slow down again so the original cancellation is still intact :D

At least its slightly faster and cheaper than dialup.

Torrents fluctuating between 5kbps and 30kbps . I want to give Afrihost a chance but at the same time they have left us consumers in the dark. I think if things haven't improved drastically by this time next week im going to cancel :(
 
@prodigy x

Can you log in with another account?
I had the same thing on Friday night, but it was my exchange that went down...
Check the Telkom notifications for your area...

Or it maybe is just Afrihost in your case..
 
There's a Telkom issue affecting authentication on our network. MTN are busy working with Telkom on fixing this. If you are currently logged in you should not be affected but it looks like clients logging in are not able to actually get an IP and start a session.

Will keep you guys posted, sorry for the inconvenience to those who can't get online becuase of this :(

Never rains but pours, eh AfriDude? **** just keeps going wrong sometimes; if you'd like to take a seat I'll tell you 'bout the two weeks of car trouble I've had...

At least this one's likely outside of Afrihost's sphere of blame... Easy on the frowny-face - it makes you look defeatist. :p

Know it must be not lekker for those who can't connect, so hence :(

We're told it's almost sorted, but I'll post here as soon as I hear that is the case.
 
Also waiting here. This is quite a long down time (Twitter says we are getting people logging it. Going to test)

Does Afrihost have a caching system in place, like MWEB, WA, IS. This will take a lot of strain from their international capacity. Also, do you allow local content to go through and not get shaped and throttled, like some of the other ISPs. I think your current shaping system is crap and not at all what you are advertising. Would be great if you actually monitor the network capacity and then dynamically shape customers, depending on their usage per a certain term. So you basically have a priority shaping based system that shapes dynamically. I know this will be difficult to implement, but do checks at a certain interval.

It seems you don't have enough capacity and are taking the strain, or your systems are too pathetic and can't manage the amount of bandwidth or users. This might explain why some people always get full line speed, while others get nothing.

Another thing that is still present, the internet goes completely dead at random intervals, but it seems it is usually after midnight. The connection is still connected to Afrihost, but nothing works on the internet, and then after a few minutes the internet works again.

Where is all the planning you put in when you planned to switch to MTN.

Thanks for the post - but rather wishing I had spent those 30 secs of my life doing something else :D

Nope, still no luck...

Still getting reports that most having the issue can get on now. It might be the rate at which Telkom can assign IP address per hour.

I'm also still trying to get official confirmation that it has been solved and what the actual issue was.
