Openweb uncapped ADSL feedback

[froot]

My silver uncapped connection was sucking last night, 0.5MB on speedtest. Though Keoma responded to a previous email of mine about speeds saying that speedtest.net is not a reliable source of speed measurement and my connection was fine, even though i tested 2 different points with the same slow result (US + UK) - not sure what to think about that response of his.

Never the less.. today my connection is all good :-)

Well speedtest.net isn't always a "truthful representation" of the situation.
Speedtest.net does at least 2 connections to the server. Sometimes single-threaded connections fail miserably, but speedtests prove the line to be "fine".

People are quiet instead of compliment went things go well, so I though I would break the silence and congratulate Openweb on a sterling month of Gold uncapped!

My account is the best it has ever been before! Well done guys!

^5.

Only issues I've had were as a result of issues with a) other networks and b) Seacom outage

^5 to MrBeep.

Woke up today to find my OpenWeb Gold Uncapped international totally dead (IS backbone), I've emailed support. Glad I have another ISP a/c as a backup in the interim.

MrBeep - could this posting (from another local forum) be what I am feeling, maybe the work overran or is still affecting some IS a/c? (and BTW I have reset my router etc)

Signed up last night for the 30GB Local Plus offering from OpenWeb, did the eft, sent the proof of payment, got the adsl details this morning. But why can I access international sites ?
