Huge thank you Amobia!

[KickTheBucket]

Sorry to interrupt the topic, but I'd like to share my joy with Amobia too.
I'm at home sick ATM, so been doing a bit of forum browsing.
I got Amobia about a month ago to replace my useless iBurst. I mostly wanted to use the connection for online gaming and browsing.
My local speed test right now (midday Thursday):

International speed test (midday Thursday):

I'm on the 2MB capped package.
My pings to local and international servers are lower than I believe they would be on ADSL. The last time I had and ADSL line was at my last house about 2-3 years ago. From what i remember, international pings were around 350ms and local around 20ms on a shaped account.
If Telkom came to me now to finally install a line in my house, I would turn them away.

Big up to Amobia for the quality of my connection. Here's to keeping it up!

Yeah, AMOBIA is the best out there at the moment, imo. Just sad that I don't have LOS.

Your experiences are similar to my own. I play League of Legends on European servers with a few local friends. My pings are lower than both the people on ADSL (using various ISP's) and two friends using 3G (8ta and Vodacom) and an unfortunate soul on Iburst. I also experience way less lag than any of the others.

Only complaint I have is that my connection to the Internet Solutions Mumble server drops every few minutes and there's definite latency there. I suspect it's an Amobia to IS routing issue.

Hey guys, those that are using amobia can you please check what speed you get on www.speedtest.net as this morning my 1mb line is running at 2mb speeds. Wonder if they have upgraded their clients as well?

Same thing...

I also wonder what happened.. Their lines got upgraded?

[MDE]

Looks like line speeds back to normal. 1mbs it is then.

[Jagtiger]

Indeed. Probably they got lines upgrades, but fixed back to client's speed quickly.

Anyone having connectivity issues in Cape Town tonight? I am getting a bit Gatvol. Been down since 5.30pm. Service was great for 1st month but last two have been borderline.

Yip down for me as well. Phoned at 6:30 said they were doing upgrades...they probably broke something.

Thanks man pulling my hair out already. Fall back to 8ta tonite for me then. Just wish they would let us know. Started gaming again after 8 week lay off due to hand surgery and this happens.

The connection is very intermittent, with 50% packet loss. 2second latency as well...hmmm will keep an eye on it.

EDIT: Spoke to support. Server error and approximate ETA of 21:00.

Update: 20:30 all up and running well again.

Haven't gone through all the previous posts, but has anyone raided 25mans in WoW on this connection?
What is the latency like, was it stable ?

[MDE]

Don't play games, so wont be able to help out, sorry.

My international pings are around 200-250 to call of duty servers.

They mentioned that the capped packages are better for gaming than the uncapped packages (possible to do with port shaping/ priortization).

[Jagtiger]

According to my experience, on uncapped I get ping 20-900ms on local and 500-1000+ms on international anywhere. It has to do something with de-prioritization of P2P/gaming.
