Last night was first night in months that I was able to watch Netflix in HD. Not only that but my HTTP downloads are running at full speed. Will continue to test for next couple of days before deciding if I am going to go the Afrihost route..

*Edit to clarify*

Have been using MWEB until Wednesday night

Don't know how much it means, but on the speedtest test, that green line running from left to right, on the afrihost account it zig-zags all over the place but on the MWEB account it's almost straight

this is something I've noticed as well, I also find that my line performance is erratic one minute I'll be getting 4Mb/s and then suddenly it drops. just did 2 speedtests now and here's the result





this is on a 4Mb line

:(

I've a 4mb account on a 10mb line, and Netflix hobbles along between low and medium SD quality here. AfriMan's attempting to assist me in diagnosing the issue, and your account backs up my opinion that I should be seeing much better performance.
 
Day 4 with no service here :( No it's not Afrihost's fault, my router fails to authenticate even on the telkom guest account.

Phoned 10210 until I am blue in the face, they refuse to open another ticket, FFS. As the DSL link is up they say it's fine. Line is not with AH either.

What to do :mad: How does one escalate the matter?

OK, what witchcraft is this? I just watched a 720p clip on Youtube while my Steam client was updating. AfriMan, did you change something, and if not why oh why doesn't my account always perform like that?

Sure, dude. But that's something I haven't seen since the move to MTN commenced. That whilst numerous others on the same speeds had vastly superior experiences to mine.

Hey Guys

See a few guys reporting inconsistent performance. Will you please PM me your username and what areas you're in so I can check if there are any known issues. As far as I can see, all is well, throughput looks great in the areas I've checked, but we need to make sure everyone is getting the same awesome experience.

Anyone still having authentication issues (I see I have a few PM's about this)?
 
I actually had a while where the line suddenly went to 8Mbps on my 4 meg account,didn't complain :)
 
Its almost like I am on a 2meg package. yet pay for 4meg

Afriman, the current experience I have with my R1 account. The unshaped, brilliant performance etc; I assume that the business account would offer this as well.

/Pondering going on the business account after 25th
