Cap has been implemented

da dum dish

thank you daveogg, you get a noddy badge for seeing what I truly meant by it.

no one, has been capped :D
 
A good speed is 120KB + for me, I average at 110KBps in the day and about 125KBps - 135KBps in the night.
 
The cap on the amount of data has not been implemented, but a cap on bandwidth has, torrents are capped (sometimes) at 8 KB/s so is any other p2p i've tried. Web pages are not capped, and irc and ftp are mediocre. /me thinks WBS is definately testing there capping/shaping software and hardware thats why the network stability has been up the pole lately. I still think we should pay much less for this beta test phase or maybe not at all. This is just what I've been experiencing since beginning of Jan 05.

There goes the "2 week notification period" they gave us.

It seems the 64k cap has been implemented, and for some reason, i have hit it.

Wait, let me try stop my LEGITIMATE TORRENT DOWNLOADS

Nope, capped @ +- 64kb/128kb

Fun fun fun...

WBS is pissing me off even more day by day... probably not the company itself, but by the attitude of some of there managers *cough* everyone *cough*

Maybe get the full story 1st. I had a long chat with Emil about some other problems I was having. They have brought in teh Traffic shaping on certain ports . This is prob what has affected your torrent stuff. But the overall 3GB cap is not in yet.
 
Traffic shaping on which ports? Because I terminal into alot of servers overseas... Let me go do a test or two... grrrrrr

Shaping I can understand, but why can I upload @ a constant 10kb/s (limited) and not get even 1.5kb/s downstream on torrents?

Thats "let us strangle you" instead of "let us throttle you"

You'd think it's the same thing, but it's not...
 
Not Capped !

dude your not capped dude you just got a bad signal in your area. i have had a few friends saying they were capped so they came to my place with there IBURST and TADA 80 k a second and more. They will sort out the problems dude just Relax. I have downloaded 5 gigs in 4 days and still going strong. Chill out dude hehe ;)
 
netaholic, suck my balls...

iBurst (in their package description) says they will throttle any other connection not browsing/mail/streaming/vpn related to 64k

I think that is why my torrents aren't running at such wonderful speeds

I connect to two towers, Northcliff (I think, but Im like less than 1km away from Roodepoort tower, but facing towards Northcliff, have LOS) and Bedfordview/Eastgate (wherever that might be)

You can't tell me that @ both locations torrents aren't working.
 
Don't get so defensive, you are not capped, nobody is capped yet.
Yes torrent speed suck, this is because of port shaping, if you use a socks proxy you will find you get higher speeds. If i download a torrent direct my speeds will suck too, but then I can go ahead and download somethign through HTTP and have blazing speeds.

You realise anytime in other threads that you tell people to suck your balls they're going to just bring this thread up right? It's almost like you're waiting for iBurst to fail.
 
Actually, yes, I'm waiting for iBurst to fail. Just as I was waiting for Sentech to fail.

What proxy server do you use then? Hmmm? Mr. I r more intelligent than noone (bwhahahaha noone, I crack myself up sometimes)
 
The following is a quote from you in a post you made today, the full post can be read here

I never changed any kind of MTU setting and I get full speeds (over 100kb/s) when mutlithreading...

then in this thread you say "Well my torrent speeds suck I MUST BE CAPPED blah blah suck my balls... you suck riblyhoobla bleh"

I don't want to divert from the topic, especially to insult anybody.. but you are either skitzo, stupid or both. You are not capped, thats all there is to it.

1 word, misinformation

How do you get people to follow you?

Confuse them, then convince them that you know the way... I do like any other church would do...

Plus, I don't like what iburst is doing, and I'm trying to derail their obvious ignorance and get them to fall hard like we did to Sentech.

We'll see who wins, consumer is where the money is, no consumer, no money. Simple as that.
