WTF Afrihost.

[saffakanera]

So I sign up for 5 gigs, get my username password the works, then I get a mail from [email protected] asking for an ID, this will obviously take till tomorrow afternoon to get sorted.

Why dont you play open cards Afrihost, and just tell people there is a 24 hour turnaround time instead of stating instant activation.

They usually sort it out pretty quickly. Mine was done within 1 hour. After hours.

And it has been mentioned everywhere that an ID will be needed.

 

[czc]

Mine was done in 20 mins. And yes it has been stated many times over.

 

[boyequal]

Just to add my 2c. I also felt the same when I signed up (around 8 at night). So, I email to legal and go on with life. About 10 mins later email arrives from legal, stating that everything has been verified. Was really surprised that someone was sitting in a legal department at 20:20...

Thanks Afrihost

Have you been under a rock?

 

[saffakanera]

Well its now 30 minutes here, nothing. Opened 3 tickets, tried to mail, all I get are these courtesy auto replies.

Did you send the ID?

 

[saffakanera]

Yea man, eish only getting silence from them..

 

[hyperian]

I had to wait two days but that was because the account holder's name on the debit order wasn't the same as the name on the ID. Sorted out after I called them though.

 

[saffakanera]

Oh nm its been verified, nice.. hope its not contended like Screamer, I could do with some stress free ISP experiences..

 

[Freshy-ZN]

So that took all of 31mins after hours? Sounds pretty stress free to me?

Ha ha I have to agree! 31 minutes at 8pm is pretty darn good in my view!

/awaits apology or Well Done Afrihost thread.

 

[saffakanera]

All sorted, this was my response:



"Awesome thank you



And I see my traffic isn't congested in filthy little pipes like it was with Screamer ADSL, I spit on their company's liquidated corpse.


Thank you.


Have a good evening."

a) asking for ID is standard practice. maybe sometime along the line it will sink in.
b) it is instant after you have been verified. no one *just* dishes out the goods before some sort of ID in some manner is established.

Another "Afrihost Sux" thread that turns out to be unfounded.
