Foot meets pavement & goes walking... lol
I think the expectations of what was considered excessive by Afrihost from the original FUP & T&C's was a misleading. When clients came aboard, the FUP mentioned the throttle speeds for 100gig and over. So that tends to make most people beleive that 100gig was an acheivable amount, not excessive. It should have been made more than perfectly clear (as it was asked many a time in the "Official" Afrihost thread) what is excessive. From this new FUP it seems going over 50 is excessive. Thats what has got people upset. The product should be rebranded, because effectively it is a 50gig capped account.
As for me, I have used 72gig, and will not be able to use the account untill next month. My speeds do not even get to 64kbps at this point in time, let alone 512 or 384. If i had been made aware of the "magic 50gig" number, I would have monitered my "uncapped - capped" 50 gig threshold.
When I reach +-60 gig, I tend to have a very slow connection. But that's fine for me, I took note of that months ago and split my usage to fit that. I get to download 12 movies every month and still whore on myadsl and whatever other sites I want to. Now it does suck that it comes to crumbling speeds, but it still works for me.
The important thing here is that I am happy with the account.
You are not. You are also not tied to a contract? It's blatantly obvious that youre not getting what you want. Many people get married and sit with the same issue, but I think they are in worse position than you are, because they actually leave something when they go for the divorce option.
Look, there are times you need to let go. I know you love afrihost very much, and as many people that are blindly in love, even when they dont get what they want, they still stay, like batered house wives. Ask your family and friends for their support, and take the first step to transition and move to MWEB which has been stated far more superior on many occasions.
Else you will be posting about your suffering every month.
I know afrihost promised things... and it didnt pan out. But then it's up to you to show them that you will not sit in the corner and cry... you'll stand up, be a man... and leave them.
There are many other fish in the sea... and youre not alone, you can start your own support group, and you will definately get backup.
Stay strong. You can make it.
no more HD downloads... thats all!
