Results of maintenance on MyWireless network???

Headend · Jul 6, 2004

The silence is killing me. Any observations on how things look after the scheduled maintenance this morning? I'm stuck at the office and can't test to see if anything has changed. Or perhaps the silence is a result of the network still being down [

Well at the moment, Mintek is OK. Wait and see. Put a 20 on that later it compares to a 28.8 modem

My speeds are up as well, not overboard, but they looking very nice.

My speeds are still rubbish, took me 15 minutes to attach a 450k file to a mail via our companies webmail client. so no change for me on 110 Helderkruin.

I have had good speeds on Mintek......peaks @ 13K and drops to 4K but averages @ 8-9K

This has happened since Sunday......till I left home this morning @ 8:30am

Not holding my breathe that it is gonna stay that way though ..... just enjoying it while it lasts

Hope that helps

The question that begs to be asked: "WHAT was the scheduled maintenance for ?"

No mention was made this this is the be all and end all fix we've all been dreaming about - wish it was though.

dude, this post takes sadness to the next level! It's sick how we're reduced to saying that getting an average of 8kbs is great. It would be great if it was a 64k connection but not when it's 128k+[V].

that was kBYTES......not kbits..... sorry about the confusion

Comrade Borris · Jul 6, 2004

Well i'm on a 256k package and just did a speed test at the rodents page which gives me:

12kbs - LOWER THAN A 14.4 MODEM

FOR F*%^S SAKE!!!

Then i had an idiot at the call centre try and tell me that this is acceptable and inline with the contention ratio. BULL S#$T! he tells me i must do the sentech speed test, which i started at 13:42, guess what? only one bar has loaded and its now 14:15, this is a joke, stupid call centre @ssholes. THIS IS A CRAP SERVICE!

What i would'nt give to put a bullet in the head of the schm*ck who is responsible for this crap!

ConDamage · Jul 6, 2004

kickass72za · Jul 6, 2004

Hey its like a ROLLS ROYCE SERVICE...... notice the SERVICE bit...... IT COSTS

aftermath · Jul 6, 2004

Like I said about two months ago, we're getting fu*cked up the arse

kickass72za · Jul 6, 2004

And the worst part is that ..... THE PAIN...... is diminishing......

OK i got BIG questions again!!!!!!!!

buffalobill · Jul 6, 2004

I was up very early this morning and the service went down between 6:00 and 6:30 am in the middle of urgent e-mails. Since then it's been as slow as a two-legged dog.

I have an inferiority complex. But it's only a little one.

the way things are going we'll probly see sentech trying to sell this **** by giving you a shopping voucher, dvd player or what not.

aborg · Jul 6, 2004

Guys I am feeling for everyone not getting there required speeds [}

], my impression from this mornings maintenance is really a small improvement in speeds. On my 256k package i am averaging 25 kB/s for 4 hours now [

], before it was about 20 kB/s. To me this is acceptable for now. I of course would love to have my full 32 kB/s but so far that has not happened.

btw How do I post a picture on this forum? for some evidence...

40.20kbps

which means you can download at 5.03 KB/sec. from our servers.

That says it all - to be honest, I have had a blistering 60kbps test !!! Whoopee
