Your ISP

Post by Phatso »

Area: PTA

DSL Speed: 20MBps

Price of DSL: R665pm

ISP: Afrihost

DATA Product: 50GB+50GB Capped

Price of DATA: R199pm

Comments: From when they launched this product (Aug I believe) till about late September, the line performed well. However, for the past 2-3 months, the quality of the bandwidth has gone to shit. High pings, slow speeds, sometimes 56k modem speeds. The pricing was the competitive point, it gained customers and now it seems they cannot handle the volume. Was great. Is now TERRIBLE. I'd recommend staying away until they sort their shit out. Its a real pity because they try to have good customer service. Unfortunately, you can only apologise for so many mistakes and then you're wasting my time.

I find Afrihost to be absolutely fine. Could be that their contention ratios are much better in Cape Town.

I have 2Mb uncapped business account, no shaping. And I pretty much always get the full speed (granted it's a slow speed, but itäs the best my copper wires can handle. I'm sure I'll upgrade once I get my fibre line :D )

Afrihost
2MB - Uncapped
Have had some issues but mainly during peak times. Other than that it has been stable relatively.
