I've also been throttled on Afrihost 384. Usage for the month this far : 32gigs. Getting about 20KB/s now, used to be 38KB/s. Noticed last night.

Question of the Day: What is the ultimate French toast topping?
Uncapped 384 - Afrihost or MWEB?

The Telkom upgrade would've resolved quite a few problems. Shame they postponed it. We not even sure it will go 384-->1meg.

What upgrade? All I heard was a year of rumours and then Telkom refused to comment.
****ers.
Broadband my ass.
Not Afrihost
I tried downloading using ftp, HTTP, getright, torrent and everything else, e.g. IS news groups. Local and International. IS news server just sucks!!!! I have a network monitor installed and could see the download speed at all times. I realy tried to push it.
I have a 4mb line and a 365 line. During the day all downloads are bad.
I tried Afrihost and it was so so. Wanted to cancel in the last 5 days of the month.... could not do so. F......K. Although I could generally access a website, I could not connect to their client zone. hahaha Several websites just bombed out and had to reload them 4 to 5 times before I get them. Whether they were local or international, did not matter.
On Afrihost i got more or less 50 gb download on the 4mb line and 23 gig on the 365.
I then went to Openweb.... O my god. Never got any full speed on any line, never!!!! not during the day nor night. On the 365 line I had a combined download of less than 30kb/s, never more. On the 4mb line, maybeeeeee I got 256kb/s at the most. Please avoid.
Next month, July, I am going to give Mweb a try. My son has his holidays and he plays a lot of games. Openweb was a desaster. Not even Facebook worked and my wife abandoned it. According my son.s freind on xfire, Mweb has a good game latency. We will see.

I have a network monitor installed and could see the download speed at all times. I realy tried to push it with multiple downloads and sources.

BTW: on Openweb I had to submit this page 4 times before it completed the upload.

Thanks, I laughed when I read that.
On a serious note, I'm happy with my MWEB 4Mb Uncapped.

I would seriously advise against AH right now, I'm not sure if its going to continue but I am on a 512 line & am definitely not one of the 7% big talkers on the lines and I have been unable to do ***** the past few days , webpages barely open , itunes appstore wont even load. Its pretty much like having a 56K line ...
Hopefully this gets sorted out soon but I don't feel all that positive it all due to the absolutely flatline of response and support for them? Feels like they are not telling us something , will wait another month to give em the benefit of the doubt but just in case does anyone know if MWEB is still only availble on 12 month contract?
