I say most the time as right now I am on 41.208.229.xx and it's working even though slower than the 196.46.64.xxx ranges.

It's past the time that they sort out these dumb problems which keep showing up every few days.


HELP!

Hey Mr H I'm on the 41 range (12.4 kbps) can't seem to obtain an IP in the 64 range that works - seems they have been taken out of service?

If you are on a 64 or have a range that works can you please PM the address excluding the last two digits of the last octet?
 
I replied in the original thread where you asked that question.

--------------------
I'm on a 41.208.225.xxx right now and crawling with timeouts, tried changing a few times with the 41 range and still the same.

The 196.46.xx.xx range is still there but it takes plenty of disconnect/reconnects before you can get one in that range.

iBurst are really going backwards at an ever increasing rate, it's about time they got someone in that knows what he is doing.
------------------

Took me awhile to retrieve that message as I'm timing out here.:(

It's a bit better now all of a sudden but still not as it should be.
 
Well I was capped, but no longer :)

It was terrible earlier, the towe even went down for a few minutes, but when it came back things went well...
 
yeah it seems to be back to speed now, lets hope it stays that way.;)
 
Oh ok. So is this how it works? Cape Town is back to normal, and JHB gets slow service??

This is actually disgusting, everything is just timing out and won't load! :(
 
DW, I guess the northern suburbs towers are on a different link to the southern suburbs, either that or you are just on a cr@ppy tower, Plumstead has been fine the whole day, and going by the lack of complaints I guess the rest of the southern towers were also fine.

Are you also on the 41.208.xxx.xxx IP range or is yours different?
 
Yes, I am at the office on adsl but controlling my pc at home that is on Iburst with logmein and i can see that it is very slow and my torrents does not download even with a proxy
 
I am connected to Auckland Park and my mail downloads have been extremely slow all day!!

My current DL speed is 460 kbps, even though the signal strength is -69 !! :confused:

I had the i-iBest tecchie out here a couple of days ago and he could not find anything wrong with my installation.

He blames the slow speeds on Hellkom!

:mad:
