Afrihost Uncapped Subscribers Feedback

Hehe, don't know how I missed it - thanks!

Any chance you can answer my questions about what happens once I sign up?

 

[dazzazzad]

What router do you have?
You have to change from bridged mode to PPPOE mode on the router.

Thanks, will give it a try when I get back tonight. I have a truly ancient Telkom ADSL router, which I've used ever since I got ADSL 6 or 7 years ago.

The support technician cannot recall name. But it is way longer than 30min!

Lol. Every time I've phoned support for something the answer has been "Wait 30min and try again." At least they've gotten past Telkom's "Try rebooting.".

I'm guessing that when they switched on the 384 and 512kbps uncapped they fooked up the 4mbps accounts...

I'm happy for NOW! I signed up with Afrihost on Friday night. During the weekend, speeds were steady at 400+ kB/s.

This is serious rubbish. Since yesterday afternoon I dont get more than 90kb's. This was the fastest speed test since then. http://www.speedtest.net/result/764930364.png

faster line speed,
uncapped service,
adsl line rental included,
no restrictions,
no thresholds,
no limitations,
totally unshaped,
for a cheaper price,
would be great.

I can't even connect to my uncapped 4MB account now. Using my Telkom account to write this. Anyone else have a similar problem?

Mine is up but super slow. Looks like I'd better not cancel my telkom account just yet then...

 

[BombThePeer]
