Been so slow for 3 days. Reporting on their site for 2 days said nothing about any DSL issues.

40MB dsl, HTTP downloading at 300k/sec.

SSL at various customers broken.

Time to change.
 
I'm also with Afrihost, leaving them at the end of this month.

They suck.
 
This was my performance on a 10Mbps line this morning:

I reported the slow speeds to Afrihost - they said that my line was being synced to 5Mbps (I've no idea why). They've resynced to 10Mbps and the results are a lot better:
