can anyone do a traceroute for me to google.com on mweb? I want to see if they are riding the IS train like Afrihost...

mweb are riding their own network.. they're now a Tier 1 ISP like IS and gawd forbid, WA

Great. It's nice to know we have more "choice" - not everyone reselling the same thing. Afrihost = IS, MWEB = MWEB, SAINET = Neology, Digichilli and screamer.. some home made contraption no doubt.

MWEB have become Tier1 recently afaik.

MWEB have become Tier1 recently afaik.

There is no such thing as a Tier1 ISP in SA. There are only about 10 Tier1 ISP's in the entire world.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Tier 1 in SA terms...

But yeah, in the strictest international terms there are only 10 Tier 1 ISPs in the world.

MWeb is MWeb and always will be, they can't repair the damage with this one product. With the speeds posted her today I am confident, the little man, Afrihost will do me well...

Torrents have been crap for a while now.

I dont think its just the torrents.... Did a few speedtests now and this is pretty much my avg....

This while Telkom is giving me 3.65mbps.... Normally Afrihost gives the same number. Possibly IS taking strain?

My 3 torrent downloads officially downloaded less than 100Mb over night :-/. Kind of lame if you ask me. Anyone else have horrible torrent download speeds?

 

[medraught]

Mine were fine... I pulled about 1.5GB overnight on a single torrent. When I tried to max the line, I was getting an average of about 196 kB/s (I'm on a 2MB/s rate limited line due to distance from the exchange). Browsing was fine. Mail was fine. XBox Live was fine. Podcasts were fine.

All in all, no complaints

:-/ maybe it was the torrents i was pulling, but there were more than enough seeds and not alot of leechers.

Online Backups

All of this uncapped bandwidth makes we want to look into online backups again. Anyone got some good suggestions?

 

[jeanres]

Dropbox FTW
