Hi Guys

We've had quite a few threads discussing Afrihost Uncapped products and bundles. If you're confused about where to get your questions asked, post them here or PM me, but otherwise I will still be checking the various threads to see where I can help out.

Anyone can sign up for an uncapped product from this link:-

http://go.afrihost.com/afrihost-uncapped-awesomeness

You'll get 50% off your uncapped pro-rata and your first full month (does not apply to bundles).

Enjoy! :D

Horrible ping

My Afrihost ping has gone through the roof! Nobody is downloading anything, so not our problem...

There is an issue on the network affecting the Northern region. We are still not sure of the cause, but we are still investigating. Until then we'll be adjusting to minimise the impact to affected clients, until we have a way forward from the network team.

Sorry for the inconvenience, this is currently our top priority :(

Just been shaped to 12.5% download and P2P 6. 25% after 63gb (mostly streaming) on a 10mb uncapped while other guys are allowed 1TB and are seen as heroes, nice AH! Is this part of the CPT stranglehold?

What did telscum break this time ?
 
I just took an uncapped business bundle ............ am in Klerksdorp. Do i fall into the Northern region?
 
Connectivity should be restored now. Service should normalise over the next while, and we expect that everything should be back to normal very soon. Thanks everyone for being so patient and understanding while we sorted this all out :)
