You are Aggressive this early on a Saturday morning.

I can see it is a capped account and it is home capped. How difficult was that? No need to be a d!ck about it.

You must be on Tapatalk. Connection is in my sig: CW 425GB on 100Mbit Telkom FTTH.

Interesting that even sub-1MB/s connections get throttled though.

If CW is paying someone for a premium news service you'd think they can get them on the phone and tell them to cut the crap.

Or maybe he's turned off seeing signatures, like I have.
 
Is anyone using CW with ntv.mx - would like to know if you're experience buffering with the HD channels?

With Vox 50mbps connection currently and buffers all the time.

I use it, and I get buffering on HD, but I only have 4 Mb/s. Gonna assume on 10 meg it will be all good.
 
Lets be accurate guys, we are all techies after all.

This thread is full of references to "data speeds" ( a term I have always had problems with), but as it is generally used, let's leave that for another debate.


The correct abbreviation use is "kilo" with a small caps "k", and Mega with a Large Caps "M".
The correct abbreviation for data rates/speeds, is kilobit per second (kbps or kb/s).
The correct abbreviation for data rates/speeds is Megabit per second (Mbps or Mb/s).

We are supposed to use "Bytes" when trying to convey volume of data transfered per second, which is the Bytes per second (Bps or B/s; kiloBytes per second (kBps or kB/s); MegaBytes per second ()MBps or MB/s).

Note there are 8 "bits" in a "Byte" which makes a significant difference when talking about these concepts.

Seems there is disagreement as to k vs K for kilo. Imo k is correct for 1,000 and K for 1,024, so I use Kbps for example. The rest I agree with.

I don't think it's an issue. It's not often I see someone get their data rates mixed up.
 
Just added my backup nextgennews account and my nzb speed shot back up to full speed. Funny as I thought the premium CW news server was from nextgennews anyway unless I'm mistaken :)

It's just easier to do what some companies like Gigabyte, Intel, and Samsung are doing.

Gigabyte = GiB
Gigabit = Gb
 
A little off the topic.

@DJ... Any thoughts on plans in the future to host game servers locally? Just a comment I read on the MyGaming article. Got me wondering if this was something you are thinking about in the years to come?

Good question..

Please host a Battlefield 1 server.
 
IPC Cuts - Hi DJ, what response can we expect from CW regarding the IPC cuts on 1 June?
 
If files fail to download on Crystal Webs news server, is that the file or server?

It will be nice to get something back, but if it is invested back into the network it is also a good option.

I would rather have a better internet experience than paying cheaper for a service that is not usable...my 2c.:D
