Im on a 4mb business uncapped line with AFRIHOST. As of last night i downloaded at a full 420kbs/s. I let my 50GB game download overnight.

Woke up this morning, still going 420kbs/s strong with 20HRS to go. I arrive home after 5pm from work only to find my downlaod still has 15 HRS to go and im downloading at 100kbs/s MAX. Until now my line did not have any improvements??

I tried....

1. Router restart
2. Router reboot
3. Computer reboot
4. Switching router of for 30min
5. Unplugging the telephone line from wall socket
6. Phone afrihost so they can resync and recreate my ports

The operator at afrihost tells me cause its of high traffic and my line is throttled?? Comaan man, thats not the case, this was never the case. I have NEVER been throttled no matter what, and on afrihost policy it states that the business lines is unthrottled 24/7/365 no matter time of day??

Can anyone else please also confirm if they have slow internet all a sudden?

**EDIT**
I am aware of the slow performance that AFRIHOST posted on their site, but it did not impact me since forever, why now all a sudden??
