Afrihost Uncapped DSL Feedback

Speeds are looking much better from 7-10pm. Thanks for looking into the issue Afri-peeps.
 
Still seems to pull from cortrels.net.afrihost.co.za regardless of selected server.
 
It's a known secret that if YouTube, Twitch and Steam define your life, Afrihost is the ISP you are looking for

It could be shaping on your Uncapped account. Does Turbocharge make a difference at all?

I uploaded a large pack of tests last week thursday to your critical care support, and then turbocharging did not help at all. Last night I kinda just gave up and did other things. I just keep getting told do more tests -_-, During the weekend it was more stable though I did not get the time to use it extensively.

Are you still working with our CC Team?When was the last time you guys touched base?

at the moment i'm looking for another ISP.

from your CC team:

Unfortunately HTTP downloads are also managed when there is network demand.

Hence the slower than normal speeds at various times.

So in other words i should just live with 0kb http downloads between 6 and 10pm because its a managed protocol.
