Slow ADSL speeds? Uncapped to blame?
Have you found your ADSL connection to be slower or more latent than usual? Perhaps those with uncapped accounts are to blame?

I have 2 accounts, one uncapped with MWEB and the other a 50GB capped account @ AH.
On uncapped MWEB downloads come in at an avg of 150kbps while on the capped AH account downloads come in at 450kbps (day or night.)
Go figure!

There is no place like 127.0.0.1
Yes. All your interwebs are belong to us.
If nobody used the interweb, there would be no slowdown.

So is WA now blaming everyone else's 'unsustainable business' plans for their poor service? And Telkom's incompetency of course
we wont stop coz we cant stop uncapped FTW
WA, WA, WA...
I have an uncapped account. I've got bugger all to do with your network management, but I've got broad shoulders. So blame me if you like.
Feel better now, WA?
How can the blame be put on uncapped users. Sounds more like bad planning to me and now they're trying to farm it off to 'uncapped' users!
Wow, and the WA whining continues. The ISP's pay a buttload of cash for their IPC capacity and WA whines that they actually use it.
Their issue should be with Telkom, tell them to upgrade. You cannot blame users or businesses for using what they paid for!!!
WA is a Tier-1 Service provider now. Which means they have their (and is responsible for) their own network. AFAIK they don't offer any uncapped services. It's their own responsibility to make sure, since they're a Tier-1 provider now, that they STOP ****ING WITH THEIR SHAPING SETTINGS just to accommodate the increased usage I foretold several months back already (but kept in reservation seeing as the network was pretty stable and quite nippy...)
But yea, you lame-ass bitches will forever tell me (The Grinch) how I should shut up and be happy with what I get right? No matter how much I pay for it.... lollersk8tes
I doubt Telkom is so nearsighted as to let one ISP influence the speed of others, especially when it comes down to their ATM equipment. I just think they're bitching because they can't get their settings right... since the service is either spectacular one moment or ****ing awful the next.Originally Posted by Shayd
BTW, since it is an uncapped account (MWEB now), I don't ****ing care how long or how fast something downloads or not. it's uncapped. But when I do require speed and turn to capped-ISP's, I expect a nippier/faster service, not the same and/or worse
sad truth is that WA and many others didnt play ahead. grow your network and stop whining!
Oh and 3rd and final post. DSLAM's are more than capable of handling constant traffic via uncapped. It is true that SOME ... REMOTE... parts do experience some backhaul issues. But I feel WA should point the finger to themselves and investigate if they have the right people for the job at hand. Since Telkom is/has upgraded the Metro and major parts of most populate South Africa (even the small town I'm from), I seriously doubt it's an issue with them. Redundancy is a word often used but never implemented. One thing goes down and their entire network screeches to a halt. Not once, not twice, but I counted 3 times. Including hosting services.
Peons who don't know their elbow from their ass probably reported to their boss the problem isn't with them but with their provider. I dare WA to switch to Seacom instead of using Telkom and see if that alleviates the problems, especially with Neotel/Transnet/DarkFibre africa now providing those services
Anyway, let me go to bed with my uninformed opinions
Yeah...
ISP: Here, little customer. Here are unlimited interwebz. Have fun but don't forgets to pays me for it.
Me: Titties. Great.
....a while later
ISP: Hey you customer, why you rape the interwebs?
Me: But ISP sir, it are belong to me. I pays for the unlimited-ness of it.
ISP: No! It are belong to me! Read teh FUP on regular basises.
Me:
ISP: Have you tried mine other package? For you, it are designed.
Me: No, I want all the interwebz + email.
ISP: All your interwebz are belong to me.
Me:... /then finds alternate way to download *.* interwebz.
You know we should stop publishing this kind of material--they just make no sense to me.
