For the last few days, I've been consistently disconnected from both Xbox Live as well as while surfing. It literally happens every 5 minutes! I managed to download something a little while back and got good speeds but had to restart a few times. Its getting rather frustrating now. Has anyone else had this happening? Is there something wrong with the reception in Jhb, particularly Midrand?
 
I've noticed this as well, though it seems to be more frequent if you're downloading something. An attempt to stop people abusing the uncapped option, perhaps? If so, they're causing us to waste cap by having to redownload unresumable downloads, which is frankly ridiculous...
 
Yats/The_Techie,
There are no disconnect problems (and I myself have had my connection up for 5 days). What has happened in the past few days is that there has been problems with upstream transits that was caused by the SAT3 outage. This also resulted in additional problems when links were forced over redundant paths and then reverted back. The last of these notices was only cleared this morning. These problems would have resulted in download issues especially to international sites.
 
Well that better not be the case. I can't even play 2 minutes of MW2 without getting disconnected from Live. And I'm taking part in a Forza tourney and already missed 3 races because of iBurst issues.
 
Thanks Ronald. It was still acting up earlier today. Will see how it is in the week. Hope its back to normal again
 
Well, losing my iBurst IP address entirely (router shows a "Disconnected" message) then having to manually reconnect sounds like a disconnection problem to me. But I'll see if the problems disappear now that it has reportedly been fixed.
 
they just gonna blame your pc, modem, anttenna, viruses iburst never goes down only eveybody else does
 
My connection is so slow that we are having problems with sending and receiving emails and also downloading and browsing the web.

This is the speed test from speedtest.net when it finally completed without errors.

We use the Iburst connection for business and the connection is getting slower and slower and sometimes we battle to send emails.
