axxess-express question

[[OUPA]MrNutz]

Hi Peeps

when trying to utilize something like astraweb during daytime - may connection totally dies....i can do http/ftp without problems - very high latency - which is normal...but nntp kills the connection (100% packet loss)

axxess throttle u to 384 during the day, normal browsing is ok, but I just stopped downloading altogether during the day, its a waste of time, dunno if someone has managed to get around this...if u have , pls PM me

 

[[OUPA]MrNutz]

its just weird - something like torrents i can get up to 22KB/sec and that doesn't kill the connection...also just high latency as expected....

sigh.

My daytime speeds are so slow it is not worth downloading, I also manage about 22KB/sec however the usage tracker is screwed up, i reset my conection daily because I actually like to have speedy adsl during the day so i connect my pre-paid unshaped. What Axxess says/rekons I use about 10x less then a actually use. Maybe IS tracks corectly anyway I can check?

Funny that you mention this - I had the same problem last night. Started downloading a news file early, next thing it stopped downloading completly.
I haven't tried this before - last night was the first. Normal browsing - no problem.

isnt high latency an inherent result of hard throttling processes?

I was using giganews from about 20h30 last night and there were no issues when I last checked at about 22h30. this was on fibre.

I think [Oupa] MrNutz was referring to day time speeds (when he is throttled)

I was replying to your post which mentioned last night, which as far as i am aware is not day

Should have explained beter - day. First time that I have tried to download a news file in the day time while being throttled. The connection just dies. It did start but just frizzled out..... After 19:00/20:00 - no problem. Getting full line speed 435-440 KB/s

I check my Axxess Express+ account usage on http://users.isdsl.net/ and it does seem to be correct there.

oh. i leave mine running during the day and my log files don't show the connection dying

Doing extensive logging now - it runs perfect offpeak times but peak times NNTP 2 astraweb kills the connection completely .

I can understand if they want to shape/block the specific protocol or block the server during daytime , but that shouldn't block the rest of my surfing needs HTTP/FTP ect.

If i quit altbinz/grabit - the connection becomes alive again - netlimiter can confirm that NO traffic had been received from these apps during the 100% packet loss window.

Tried it on another pc and at another ADSL site aswell - both getting the same problem , and they gave me another acc to test - same thing.
