Started a download, and it goes at 15kb/s. Then I remembered I switched to my capped Afrihost account in the morning to get a new IP to test a script on my server.

Switch to telkom uncapped account, 400kb/s. Uncapped Telkom is faster than capped Afrihost. That's just sad.

Have to agree.I remember when Afrihost capped was the best on the market.Then they moved to MTN.Was still using their capped account as a back-up but after all the problems this past month have cancelled - they have literally gone to s***.
 
Small aside: For centuries, incl in Shakespeare's Elizabethan times, Thee and Thou were the intimate and familiar forms. You is formal and remote. We moderns have reversed that because we've abandoned the Classics.
 
Having some serious trouble as well. Don't tell me you're currently shaping 25% download and 12.5% torrents on my account then pull all my downloads down to 20kbps and my any torrents to 50% dial up speeds. The torrents I can still understand during the day but the normal downloads, oh my seal on a dickstick it's just disgusting.
 
What about Axxess good or bad? I'm planning to use their service since you guys say Afrihost has "fallen"

Guys, the Afriguys have posted here many times over the last few weeks that your exchanges are congested or load shedding is to blame.

There is nothing wrong with their network, and the best guys in the world are working on it. Please do trace routes and pings, and some one from critical care will get back to you soon.

Just wait.

They seem also to be affected in negative ways.

Sometimes it feels like they put the capped customers on their uncapped circuit with the shaping. Ping is unstable, so gaming is a problem. Torrents took a dive but have since recovered.

I tested their service for shaping and it came up positive for streaming video.
