Is it the Seacom outage/downtime that has Int so slow?

Nah, not gonna do it anymore ..... shaped once again since like 7am and it's still in effect after 11:30pm. I'm not paying for like 2 or 3 hours of downloading in the way way early hours, if we're lucky and the shaping doesn't just stay on 24h like it has done.
Money wasted.

relaxed shaping lekker after hours this .......
Remember that shaping is totally dependant on demand. We usually do see shaping relax just after 10pm for the majority of users, with only the heaviest users being unshaped much later (sometimes as late as 2/3am when demand is heavier).

Soz, I know you reps are not at fault but I will be taking the plunge and moving along. Didn't want to, tried to stick with it but I can't pay for service like this unfortunately.
Really sorry to hear that, and I totally understand where you are coming from. If there is anything I can do, please PM me anytime

I still don't understand how demand has increased so much after the first 2 months of the year. Beginning of the year I was unshaped almost 24/7 and then it started again with shaping nearly 20 hours a day.

51mins left of turbocharge. Restarted router twice. So...whenever your Turbo feels like kicking in. That'd be nice...
It should start up almost instantly.
Do you have any tests that I can look at on where the poor experiences are coming in?

What tests am I supposed to show? I'm trying to finish a war thunder update which is capping out at 1mbit. I try downloading an nvidia driver update as a test after each router reset, 700kbps. Now at 38mins left. Still nothing.
Also no, Turbo has NEVER EVER started instantly for me.

4mbit. Torrents are maxing at 20kB/s. The torrent itself is fine since it was running at full speed this morning before the shaper hammer came down.
20mins left, still nothing.

That's pretty odd.
Could you drop me a PM with your DSL username so I can run through some checks with you?
Whats going on with Afrihost the last couple of days? I struggle to get into google.co.za, My other friend who is also on Afrihost is reporting the same thing. Most other sites load fine, but google is a no go.
On Webafrica and Vodacom Google loads just fine.

Which web browser are you using at the moment? And which DNS is your modem set to use?
Chrome. I was using the Afrihost DNS and switched to the Google DNS to see if that would help. About 30 minutes after I switched I am now able to go onto Google again. Will monitor and report back if it starts acting up again.

There have been quite a few issues with Chrome specifically over the past few days, would you mind seeing if switching to a different web browser helps at all.
At the time I did seem to get more of a response out of Internet Explorer of all things. Even tried a reinstall of Chrome but that didn't help either. Didn't try any other browsers.
