Anyone else having issues with Windows updates?

 

[gregmcc]

Nope - no update problems. I've never seen such fast downloads on my line before! Its working 100%

HTTP downloads and youtube viewing is using the full line speed. Much better than was one the MTN test accounts which I found up and down.
Still will have to see when throttling will kick in if at all and will only be able to report on that after a couple of days.

Due to the change in DNS settings from the ISP, it is a good idea to flush your dns settings.
From the command prompt enter "ipconfig /flushdns" then "ipconfig /registerdns'. Rebooting the router and your system will also help.

On uncapped 4Mb:
Gaming on battle.net (sc2) was perfect now. Streaming 720p from twitch.tv also doable now (while downloading at 50Kbps). So far so good. More positives than negatives overall. Good going Afri-team

Hi

Getting very bad speeds since last week was hoping the new network would sort it out.
Currently on 10 mb uncapped.

Maybe I should change to a 1 mb package

Don't just always complain and assume the worst! Read the forums, diagnose the problem before you complain!

*Have you rebooted your router?
*Have you rebooted your system?
*Have you tried another account?

Do some research and try and fix it yourself before complaining and looking for alternative options!

Was one of the first things I did. Tried on two different machines. Will give it a day or two.

Can anyone access http://conceptcarz.com/ ? www.isup.me says it's up and it's just me so just checking if anyone else can access it...

Nope, can't get it either.

No need to run /registerdns, it updates your PC's IP to your DNS server, so unless you have your own local DNS server and your PC's local IP changed it won't do anything.

Which servers were you playing on? maybe ask afriman to look into it.

I've just checked my usage on the MyConnectivity app. My downloads since last night is approximately 3.6GB per hour. That is maxing out my line. Awesome!!!

Hey Guys

I see a lot of positive feedback on the new network, but also a lot of adjustments to be made. Please bear with us, this is a brand new network being set up literally from scratch, there are going to be unforseen issues which we will look into immediately.

By far this biggest issue I am noticing is high pings, and latency for Cape Town users. We know there is an issue there, and as I explained, MTN has IPC in Cape Town, we're just trying to get things settled in a controlled environment close to home before we engage that. Emails and phone calls are flying around here at AfriHQ to look at how quickly we can do this, so I am personally confident that it will be fairly soon.

I was replying to your PM's last night until my router decided to die! He was a good router, but that last Linux distro just took it's toll

Will get to all your messages during the course of the day

 

[Pellito]

My condolences.

My connection was ok last night, but pings were not great in CS, in fact terrible. Anywhere up to 130 at some points.

On a lighter note, speedtest for the first time reported my down speed at 4.01 MB/S. Never seen that before on my line.

Glad to hear there will be CT IPC - thanks Afriman!

My only issue is that your lack of control over your previous IS network meant I could push 5mb on a 4mb account because of my 10mb line... Not any more! I guess its fair enough.

Overall pleased with the new speeds, which are rock solid. I will be staying next month.
