Official Vox DSL feedback thread

Thank goodness my Afrihost 10gb(R29) backup account has free after hours downloads.

Which is actually a 10gb + 10gb then rolls over and becomes 40gb, plus a free gig so becomes a 41GB account for R29 with uncapped after hours :D
 
Things starting to act up again?

Vox account just went dead for me in Durban. Switched to Afrihost.
 
They do debit card if you not on credit card. I had no idea they've extended uncapped night data to 7:30am.
Their after hour times has been like that for quite some time now. Its really great that it starts at 23:30
 
Just did a download of this to test - https://www.relay.fm/material/57 - 61MB file, so enough of a file size to see if it slows down dramatically.

Lowest it went was 238 KB/sec on my 2.5Mbps line, so it's probably a "North region" thing today / tonight .. last week we were affected quite badly, the one day.

Keep the bug away from us :p

Edit : I'm on Bolt-on, if that matters in any way ?
