Ok, so who in CPT is having crappy performance !!! ??? I am conected to Gardens Tower
 
The CT peering problems have been resolved. Your tower is probably just congested, that's the reason for your slow speed.
 
GBM, your speed might be ok but mine is still up the creek, so much for the iBurst "resolved" in their report.:sick:

EDIT: both local and international sites and downloads are loading at the same crawling rate, makes one wonder what sort of technicians attended to the problem.

speed is bad , the Iburst site is taking about 3min to load the network status :mad:
 
That network status report is a waste of time since iburst think they solved the problem.
Would not surprise me if they had the accounts staff working on the fault.:rolleyes:
 
Rofl @ Accounts staff.

Ja, I think the only reason they put it up as resolved is because they had the estimated time for it to be resolved as the same day. i.e technically yesterday as it is past 12 and the problems is still very obviously not resolved.

They just don't want to look bad and will rather have it look like every problem is resolved the same day. Like how they never report degradation when it lasts more than a day, like it often has. Nothing on their incident report lasts more than a day, including this, even if they just have to lie a little.

Anyway, I hope that means that they will fix it over-night so that by the time most people check it tomorrow it will be accurate. If it is not I will be angry, time to phone the helpdesk and sit listening to them try to explain why it isn't resolved if it says resolved. :( And one peep about a MTU setting.. OMFG. :p
 
2:16am and still slow if not slower than earlier, I guess we will wake up to the same problem later this morning.:eek:

Well, that is the reality this morning. Since the outages earlier this week things have not been quite right. I'm getting dial-up speeds at the moment
 
Totally unacceptable!

Never mind the unused bandwidth you pilfer from me every month on all four of my accounts, now I am forced to use an alternative ISP at double the cost.

Ok, I know you are going to want to blame Verizon, for the past weeks lack of connectivity but surely you have contingency plans in place. Please realise in s-Africa you can’t rely on only one ISP for bandwidth - get an agreement with IS or the like now, before you have no clients left!

The least you could do is to allow the Cape Town users to carry over their bandwidth for a two month period as an act of contrition.

My accounts in Cape Town: 111988; 0782; 0788 and 111505 in Joburg all with Tradepage.

Thank you.

I suggest you go and do the same, go paste your account number on the Blog and insist on iBurst allowing you to carry over your remaining bandwidth for an additional month as a show of good faith or as an apology.

Well now it still says in progress now, but its been fixed.

For me at least, its back to normal.

Maby they're just dyslexic in some funny way?
 
They'll leave it "in progress" since they're expecting it to go down later today again.:rolleyes:
