[CruizD]

I was enjoying their 4mb uncapped deal but nowdownloads are just painfully slow... and i dont even download that much. Like maybe 30gb.

is that alot?

 

[ashfaak]

Why battle dude, change over to another ISP.

 

[jay-co]

yeah according to afrihost thats too much.
i did 26gbs on 384uc and i am being throttled..... sucks.

You know.. the place where you downloading from..it could just be a slow connection from their side.

do some speed tests. from your connection.

I've tried various sites, even streaming. low speeds.

that sucks indeed.

My brothers are thinking maybe I should move to Axxess. Any ideas?

Worth a try, I'm considering Axxess 4Mbit uncapped.
I'm on mweb 384k, its lekker, (mweb never throttle you etc). But want to move up, and ofcourse Mweb's 4Mbit uncapped package costs 50% more than the throttling uncapped packages other ISPs offer.

not so sure about that.

ie if I am reading correct, Axxess = R496 and Mweb = R539
can't seem to get Webafrica uncapped details.

yes it's more, but not by a heck of a lot.

My 4 Meg ADSL "uncapped" from Afrihost was snail speed as well for the last few days.
Phoned them now - answer throttled after 26 Gig.
What a loser company - I told them I'll slam them on every site I can.
Stay away from AFRIHOST - they stink!!!!!!!
