Anyone else Deeply disappointed with Afrihost Vodacom? I genuinely regret leaving Rain
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I've somehow managed to find a network worse than Rain. Let me explain.
I switched from Rain because the service would literally drop whenever it rained, which, living in the Eastrand around Birch Acres, is not exactly a rare event. So I made the move to Afrihost on Vodacom, thinking I was upgrading. I was wrong.
I'm on the 100Mbps plan and here's what I actually get:
- A 400GB FUP, which is already disappointing on a "100Mbps" package
- Speeds that swing wildly between 40-80Mbps one moment, then crash to under 1Mbps the next
- The majority of the time I'm sitting at under 10Mbps on a plan that promises 100Mbps
- Zero consistency, I never know what I'm going to get
Here's the kicker. Rain's 30Mbps plan, the one I left behind, was actually delivering closer to its promised speeds more reliably than this 100Mbps joke of a connection. At least with Rain I knew what I was getting. This is all over the place.
And don't even get me started on fibre. I think it was Vuma that dug up the trenches in my area, got everyone's hopes up, and then just... never came back. Still no fibre coverage in Most parts of Birch Acres.
I would not recommend Afrihost Vodacom to anyone in the Eastrand around Birch Acres. Genuinely regret leaving Rain, at least their failure was consistent.
