Capped, but...

[BlueICE]

Howdy,

Got me first cap today ever (woohoo!) but I find that some sites
like CNN.com doesnt load at all, but things like google.com and
others are as fast (Telkom Fast) as always. Is that the usual
case with being capped (swing and miss for certain sites if they
work or not) or is Telkom just playing Santa this month?

i guess google.com is fast because of it's light contents.
google has much less images and texts > cnn.com

Experiencing the same on a capped account - kazaa is still fast and at times running at 53k/s - there is no explanation for this

i think certain sites are just cached and hence it's like accessing a local site with just a little international bandwidth being used.

I had my first cap as well. And I must say the speed of Kazaa was very surprising to me as well, I know that can't be cached since you download from other users and they change all the time. So I am not complaining at all.

I suspect the port prioritisation has been fiddled with. Downloaded something yesterday with Kazaa and it was running at about 40kbyte/sec without having to do stupid tricks with the ports.

I'm not capped BTW.
