Whats the point of having uncapped if the pings are terrible?

I know sure i can download but what if i wana play a game?

My pings were fine on my old telkom account, so guess ill go back to that then

Far as i know there is a network problem country wide. You should see if it comes right by tomorrow. I am pinging 140 as i was last week and it came right.

The whole week my ping has been 14ms, only today it is high. Cancel if you want but i would give it a couple days.

In the last couple of hours ping has shot up tremendously though.
My pings to the saix server this morning was like 89ms
 
If there is a problem and its affecting my line then surely it shouldve affected my line with my telkom account too?

Or is this just a mweb problem?

I think it could be a problem with mweb because my afrihost pings were fine last week. I haven't check recently though.
Can someone confirm there is a country wide network problem?
 
WOOHOOO!

mweb just emailed me my free username and password to test my 4mb uncapped and 5 mins later, its up and running!
no need to fill in forms!
i have until the 30 April then they close it, if i dont want it!

In my experience afrihost has always been top notch. So speed shouldn't be a problem but just check their tmc's , looks like they have a fair usage policy for 100gb a month.
 
You needs dont seem to understand, it's not Afrihost - it's the actual line / cable / exchange that determines speeds... Afrihost just give you access to it by making less profit than anyone else.

I assumed he already knew that , as far as I can tell he was unhappy with the shaping of his service. And afrihost is mostly unshaped.

You can't now... you missed that boat buddy.

I didn't even know they had free trial accounts I signed up for the service about 2 hours after it launched and I will be paying for all my uncapped pleasure .
Can't blame me for asking? lol
 
looking across all the feedback threads there seem to be inconsistent behavioutr across all different providers. which i suspect is to be expected given i suspect the mass number of people who have moved to these accounts. and the numbers who are quite possible doing their best to pull amounts of data (not that i blame them).
