Boycott MWEB. Because they don't care if you leave...

We Know.

There are already a million MWEB threads. You're not adding any value to the forum.

Necroposting? C'mon, I've seen worse.

If there weren't 20 other MWEB threads all on the same topic I'd understand.

Thanks for reporting me for necro-ing a thread. You seem to be getting desperate mr mweb. If you don't like the topic or don't want to talk about it anymore I'd suggest rather staying out of the threads.

Next time I will take up your behavour with RPM or ANTOWAN.

I don't even have MWEB as an ISP.

You're on a witch hunt. Try to grow up.

People stopped witch hunting in the middle ages.

Hi DJ

The statement that we don't care about losing our customers really couldn't be further from the truth.

We have made a promise to our customers to deliver a premium uncapped service which is superior in performance and hosted on a world class network.

That network is a valuable business asset and like any business we have the right to protect our assets and take steps to ensure that we can deliver on our promises to the vast majority of our paying customers.

If this means that we have to put rules and measures in place to curtail the actions of a very small portion of users who refuse to act in a reasonable fashion then this is what we will do, as much as it may sadden us to have to do so.

We understand that these steps will anger the portion of users who thrive on pushing the service to its tolerance limits and we also understand that many of the users we find on this particular forum fall into that category.

Believe me I fully anticipated that this news would not be well received by this community and I wish that I didn't have to be the one to share it, but I do firmly believe that what we have done will have a positive impact on the performance of MWEB's network, which is too everyone's benefit.

If the users directly affected by this change could bring themselves to see it through into next month and bring down their data usage a little bit to see what it takes to avoid the limits they might actually find that this is a better situation for everyone in the long run.

As to the point which has been made a few times now as to why the users in question did not receive warnings prior to this. it is quite simply because the previous discretionary method of manually issuing warnings and following them up with 2nd and 3rd warnings was inefficient and very time consuming.

This meant that it only allowed us to deal with a very small sampling of abusers at a time and we also did not like the poor customer experience it created of ultimately having to ask users who refused to comply to change products or terminate the service.

In the long run the simple and effect method of enforcing a temporary speed reduction on users who push the product beyond reasonable limits is actually a much better customer experience and we hope it will help us to keep more of these users on board once they begin to manage their own behavior.

How the hell do they still call this a uncapped product. So happy I moved to OpenWeb.

Exactly what we've been asking going from pillar to post. I'm quite sure that even ASA would have to agree that you can't say keep within a limit, but never supply these limits. This should be taken up with both ISPA and ASA, see what happens if enough of the people start doing this. Solmatrix had to remove their skelm uncapped because of such an action.

Just thought I'd quote your friend Antowan on thread bumping:

Hello all! Please don't let this "bumping" of threads idea catch on. It will result in some heavy handed deletions if it heads where I see it heading. Threads are like cars, no need to bump them... If a thread cannot survive without an obvious bump it doesn't want to live...

At least bump them in a more creative way.

Edited:

Even better quote:

Bumping is most certainly not welcome outside OT in any way or form because it disturbs the flow of the forum.

In my opinion all “new” MWEB policy queries (threads) related to the OP should be merged, the problem however is that there is many undisputable issues brought to the communities attention which cannot simply be deleted.

The only MWEB thread which should be continued as is, is the MWEB Uncapped ADSL Feedback - Part 3 thread.

What Necuno did is also not simply a bump, he is in matter bumping an issue which can cause much and extended controversy with organisational policy transparency issues. This needs to be questioned and these typical policies (made to punish the consumer) should be challenged by law.

He reported you for bumping a 1 day old thread , how the hell is that neco-ing??????

He didn't add any value to the thread. Just look at Antowan's guidelines are on thread bumping above.

If the thread was a few days old, then yeah, but its a tad harsh reporting him for something simple or small like this.
But rules are rules i guess.

Wow yea I agree that is a little over the top

He strikes me as bit of a box but that's just next level kark. But him and his fellow mweb support person don't like bad stuff about their beloved mweb.

So this guy is either a genius at trolling or a massive tool(and I am only saying it to be nice if he is a special person) lol

He even reported someone, for bumping. fighting the good fight I see chev, you know screw the people who paid mweb for a service and get threatened to have it's value reduced by using the service.

Screw them for paying, and then feeling entitled to use the product to it's full extent.

and screw the whole country for trying to get better value for money.

I am away from mweb, on openweb and won't look back. I could have been hit with this notice too probably what someone should do is start a tread saying every mweb customer should start downloading torrents 24/7. They can not punish a large group of people and I am fairly certain the cpa would force them to either abandon this horrid excuse of network management or refund you.

and at chevron, seeing you are clearly pissy about people being consumer activists why are you on this website? This is the last place to defend the companies that are anti consumer and before you comments, don't come in and say they are not and spewing your turdinfestedlogic your outnumbered 1000/1 don't think your right in any way shape or form.

Hi you seem to have issues with the M Web threads. Why?

Maybe you should go to the DSTV forums. You would feel welcome there.

Otherwise you'll have to get used to these threads because they'll be around for a while.

 

[Chevron]

I really can't believe the responses I'm seeing here.

If a person comes to myBB with a problem with mweb all they have to do is click 'new posts' and see around 5 or 6 mweb threads to complain in.

This isn't about activism or anything else you guys dreamed up.

Point is all these mweb threads complain about the same thing. There's no reason to have 10. There's no reason to bump a thread like he did the other threads are easy to find. And even if all the threads died, a person wanting to complain about mweb will just create a new thread or search for an old one.

Bumping a thread like this serves no purpose other creating forum clutter. Which is why I said he is a witch hunt.

I don't know. Maybe his girlfriend left him for someone working at mweb. Coz then I'd understand his vendetta.
