Slow on IS with Afrihost.

[Pixual]

Since yesterday I have noticed that my line is very slow. Recently I got bumped up to 6144/640 and was flying, but now I can't even get much over 2mbps regardless of where I speedtest to. Check out these results to Durban (from Durban):

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing or is it just me?

Speedtest doesn't seem to show up here. Hmmm...

I'm on the 1024 uncapped service and do not have any hassles.

Log onto the AH Clientzone, click on the "click here for more details" hyperlink next the "Bandwidth information" and see if you are been throttled or if you have "Full Access".

I found that the ping is terrible during the day with AH this past week. I have a 10mb line with capped unshaped account and MoH servers used to be 250ms during the day and are now 320ms. a ping to AH is 120ms during the day. only comes right late afternoon. ping to MoH servers is back down and ping to ah becomes 50 - 70 again. Really disappointed.

Edit: 54ms at the moment (Saturday)

I don't have uncapped, so there's no reason for me to be throttled. I switched to my WA prepaid account and the speed is more than doubled to the same servers. Wtf, Afrihost?

Ticket response from their support has been less than thrilling.

Then there's no reason for your degraded service!

Hardly any international connectivity now and even worse "support" from Afrihost.
