Think I'm still in the honeymoon phase but it's all good this side. ;)
 
soooo it is time for me to moan again. For the last month i have been getting no more than 6mbps....Local seems fine, getting 8mbps at least, but international is 5 or less, 6 mbps if I am lucky. Please do not tell me "this is a best effort service and you cannot be gauranteed the full line speed" because I used to get the speed I am paying for...

We may have had some excessive usage on the network, but this was at local IPC level, and our international links were performing very well. It may well be that IPC demand may have caused limited access, but that would affect local as well as overseas traffic.

Are we talking about downloads here? Speedtests? Direct pings to servers?

Please drop me a PM so I can get the specifics from you :(

Thanks, I have done so.
 
Ok, so it's time to ditch Mweb and probably join Afrihost.

What local newsserver would I use and how does it compare to Mweb's.
 
I hope you guys (@AfriMan) are ready for the bf4 downloads, including beta and full game downloads, gonna be a big month next month :P possible amount of bw per user could be around 20~25gb+ est.
Just a heads up :P and I expect full-speeds all the way plox :P

Great point! I think EA will probably allow caching and resumed downloads, which Apple do not. So many people with failed downloads had to start all over again. Also doubt that the number of people downloading vs purchasing in store with be as much.

If demand is high, we'll have to shape accordingly - but we're confident it won't get to critical level :)

Agreed, I do not want any interruptions :) Can't wait for BF4
