On 10mb gamers. This is just getting ridiculous now

Speeds are absolute ***. Sick of complaining and having to get them to change my account.
My question ......is Afrihost any better?
On 10mb account I expect 10mb speed not 4 or 6 meg

Very pissed off

You're on one of the cheapest accounts they have. just saying.

AH are currently shaping hectly due to capacity issues. You can check the feedback thread if you want to see for yourself.

Thanks man.
How these companies are allowed to sell and advertise something that is not what it says is beyond me .
 
Is there really one ISP that hasnt got pages and pages of complaints about it on here?
 
gold is also hit and miss. if you need interwebs during the day you have to make a decision.

I'm on one of the openweb gold special offer accounts and I'm sick of it too. It's been pathetic for the past week, but I don't have the energy to email their support again. I'm just dialed up with afrihost during the day...

I have my hands full with people today who want to jump the OW ship... trust me. People I haven't spoken to since the days of having my little IT business, asking me for a new ISP.

For me since the Mweb fiasco, Afrihost are the best of all the evils. Maybe DJ can be our saviour. ;) Just I do not do stop orders, paying monthly in advance.

One thing that Afrihost have that no other ISP could top AFAIK is the clientzone to manage and even temporary suspend your own account. Will not change that for anything unless another ISP offers the same features and benefits.
 
I'm just using a plain simple capped AH accounts, have zero lag on any of my online games, although don't play a lot on overseas servers.

Not so bad with the right ISP. But capped tops it all when it comes to gaming. For me I am on Afrihost/MTN and I am happy! For gaming it's a bit shabby but I game much less nowadays and I am rather intent to wait till the ADSL scene sorts itself out.

No issue with gaming but never get more than 600k in downloads
 
I'm also jumping the Openweb Gold wagon end of may. Any recommendations?
 
Question, is direct downloading considered p2p? nntp is Nzb's if Im not mistaken.

I'm on Web Africa Business and it's been fantastic. They do use the star system though, but it's quite lenient on business. 365GBs so far this month and only on 3stars. Also downloads between 00:00 and 06:00 don't affect your stars.
