Hi,
I've recently upgraded my afrihost 4mb 10gb account to the 4mb uncapped account they now have on offer.
So far performance in terms of torrents has been ok, done alot of bandwidth - not the best speeds - but certainly decent.
Speedtests, especially international speedtests are shocking however and I'm getting alot of lag on overseas gaming servers.
I play Tiberian Sun online which as you know, is an old game and only has a single server which is hosted in the USA I believe, and since moving onto the uncapped account, I experience a shltload of lag - which I expect is due to all the uncapped users taxxing the crap outa their new accounts.
So I'm considering buying a dedicated 1gb account from any ISP just so I can play lag free on these international servers.
What you guys think? Wait awhile and see if speeds and latency to international servers improve or should I just go ahead and get myself that dedicated account ?
Next Question, which ISP should I look at? Again, looking for a good price and good speed just so I can play online. TS doesnt require much bandwidth at all, so I'm pretty confident a 1gb package should do just fine.
