Anyone having problems in Olivedale area?

[ClockworkOrange]

Started about last night (Nov 24) latish evening after the storm. I get horrible latency and timeouts all the time:

Browsing is almost impossible. Still have 1.2 GB left on my account so capping is not an issue. I'm 300m from Olivedale tower in direct LOS.

Can anyone confirm same experiences?

Regards

I have been having problems since the evening of the 23rd, the whole of yesterday and it still seems to be a problem this morning.

Speeds very slow (sometimes nil).

Am using an antenna which is directed at the Olivedale tower. This is the first time that I have had a major issue like this since installing the antenna.

Are you all still experiencing network problems or has iBurst sorted the issue out yet?

I checked their network status web page and all the towers seem fully operational.

Their network status page is a laugh. It says that there are no problems, but I am still experiencing major issues.

It was still horribly bad this morning about 10am. Since I'm at work now I cannot check if it has improved. The network status was showing everything OK since the beginning I think since 23rd when the problems started.

This is the worst it had been since I started using iBurst in April.
