Afrihost Uncapped Slow in the Afternoons

russellO said:

Yip. It's been horrible for some time. It's not just uncapped accounts. My 100GB capped account which is supposed to be unshaped is useless. I know for a fact it isn't my line or router because if I switch over to my free FNB Connect data it's 10x faster than AH.

I had really slow speed on Saturday. Could not even watch youtube on low quality. I am on business uncapped.
I turned of my router Saturday evening and switched it back on again Sunday morning and it was working perfectly again.

I don't know if i am the only one, but lately in the afternoons at about 14:00 Our ADSL (Afrihost ISP) gets quite slow, and then things like youtube take ages to load, where a webpage will also load slowly.

Has anyone else been having a problem with afrihost lately?

My Parents have the Afrihost Uncapped Business and its the same story.

Hi Peder
Sorry I'm only jumping in on this thread now, I usually keep an eye on the official threads as it makes tracking feedback much easier. Anyway, to get to your query - seeing as though things are OK in the morning and slowly degrade throughout the day may indicate congestion.

Do you have a traceroute that I can take a look at?

Do you see similar results on the other account? Hard to tell off the bat because the exchange doesn't accept ICMP, but the latency is quite jumpy around the 3rd hop.

Peder said:

Sorry didn't know there was an official thread, must i rather go on there?
