Afrihost Uncapped DSL Feedback

Oh wow, if it's premium then surely that shouldn't be shaping. And even if they did shape you to half the speed it should still run at the full 5mbs line speed you have

That's what I thought. Afrihost very mum on the issue. I will try switch back to AH tonight and see if the speeds are still abysmal.
 
Premium Uncapped 10Mbps. My line only gets up to 5Mbps.

Shaping shouldn't affect throughput on a speedtest, if that's what you're referring to? Please PM me your account info and I'll take a look at it.

A semi-shaping policy applies to our Premium Uncapped package. This policy includes shaping on non realtime protocol. Realtime services will not be shaped. :)
 
155.133.238.162 and 155.133.238.163 can you please add this ip to your gaming list.
This is CS go and is slow AF on latency but other ip's are fine. so I assume its just not high on you gaming list.
please add asap!!
its also very random

Would you be able to run a traceroute to those servers? It would help us a lot to figure out where the latency is coming from.

Now it pings fine... Both ip's
But 7 O clock the 162 ip was fine but the 163 was sluggish. I'll send once it happens again.
 
Once our Accounts Team has decided on a course of action they will definitely follow through.

19 days since Afrifella told me I would be getting a full refund **** from your accounts department has not processed said refund and continues to ignore my emails and calls. That takes this sorry saga to seven and a half months without a single commitment from Afrihost being met.

AfriFella is following-up with the Accounts Team around this, and we'll make sure that it is completed.
 
So what's happening...

Sorry to see this. :( What DNS settings are you currently using?
 
155.133.238.162 and 155.133.238.163 can you please add this ip to your gaming list.
This is CS go and is slow AF on latency but other ip's are fine. so I assume its just not high on you gaming list.
please add asap!!
its also very random

You are aware the 2 IPs above terminate in Poland, right? (might explain your increased latency)
