I've just got :

88ms ; 2.2mbps down and 0.30mbps up (Paulshof - 17:58)

I'm going to update this when I get home

[StonerStuart]

since yesterday speeds have been crap, cant download ****
i have also realized that when i am downloading torrents, i can't browse at all

Haha that issue is a pain in the ass hey?

Are you using uTorrent?

If so go to -Options, Preferences, and de-select apply rate limit to transport overhead.

That worked for me, never changed my down speeds and i was able to browse without tat annoying issue.

I was watching some videos last night, around 7pm, youtube the videos were playing fine without the need to buffer and then halfway through the one it started to slow down drastically, signal strength was the same as it was minutes ago when i was getting good speeds. so I am not sure.

But honestly people, 10GB for R199 and an additional 10GB for R100 and you complain?
I love this network, sure it has its ups and downs but it is the best offering on the table at the moment...

My torrent downloads are around 100Kbps - 500Kbps with the odd fluctuation up to 2Mbps and then down to 0.8Kbps.

I do not care They are giving me data at such an affordable price, Its Just Me - You'd be stupid not to go for this.

I've had 2 techs visit me regarding speed which is more than I can say for Cell C.
Go 8ta.

And did they manage to solve your problem, or were they going to "look into it?"

[pboy]

all good here.. 400+KBps..

[Nitrate]

all good now.. but give it till later tonight when ppl get home and then the network becomes unusable...

Daytime 8ta is fine.. but not after work...

[Tun@]

Guess everywhere is differant pending signal & load but my 60+60 is working fine - was only about an hour to download the 2.5GB Win8 iso....Utorrent seen up to 900kbps

I am also on the verge of giving up on my 8ta 10gb+10gb deal. The connection is now completely unreliable and often slower than dialup. This is a real shame, as it was excellent for the first 3 months or so. No way I am paying the full amount for the rest of our contract with this kind of connection. 0.2bms download anybody? Uh, no thanks!
