Had some horrible latency on Diablo 3 last night....just saying.

Ja d3 was unplayable but I finally set up Netflix and it was perfect.

ETA on fix?

Steam is still slow at any thing from 28KB/s up too 250 KB/s

Have you tried changing Steam servers? I'm currently getting line speed (800+KB/s) on it.

I use Johannesburg IS, FYI.

Unfortunately not yet. Not without Telkom's assistance, but we do have a meeting scheduled with Telkom for a fibre project where we've requested various other parties to be involved, and our plan is to propose better integration with their exchanges for this info.

Thank you for the reply.

Will be keeping an eye on this as it goes forward.

Hey guys, I still get quite a lot of lost packages in gaming (FFXIV mainly)?

There are a ton of local servers for Steam. I use Cape Town servers like WA and get max line speed. I was quite happy to see 1 meg download (10 meg line) for my updates on Thursday night.

I found that international gaming is really unstable atm. I play League of Legends and have the same problem. I'm going to wait till they resolve their international issue and see how it is after that.

Hi

Crystal, am i supposed to be able to stream HD during the day on a 10mb account.

Http://movieshd.co

Just returned from Namibia and wanna relax with a movie, but it doesnt even play 1 min and then constantly buffers. These movies are 720p as far as i know....

Please help us out here.....

My speedstests are also all over the place...from 2.5Mbps to 7.2Mbps, so i dunno whats up.

Thanks

PS : your online chat is offline.

Tested this just now on my 4mbps account, works without buffering. Very surprised.

No I can also play without buffering, the point I'm trying to make is : I should be getting HD Quality stream on a 10Mb no problems. And I'm not.


When I was with Openweb (4Mb acount), I managed to get a HD stream often, even if it takes a couple of minutes to get there, it eventually got there. Now it never gets to HD quality. In fact, my bitrate doesn't even reach 1750, which is still SD.

So it sort of works like netflix? Interesting. Sorry I thought the stream was only HD, I have a 19" screen I work on and could not really tell it was SD. Anyway you have given me a very nice alternative to movie4k.to thanks.

This is from steam JHB nodes. I've already linked the pictures for this it's utter **** to say the least. I'll see if CT node(s) works better...

Same. It streams at 3ish mbps so yeah 4mbps will work. Think Fjorko wants to know whether it works during the day on weekdays

 

[Necuno]

NZB maxing out my 10mbs line: 27 KB/s

 

[Necuno]

PTA-PTA: Limited: ±4.00 Mbps



PTA-CT: ±8.60 Mbps



PTA-UK: ±6.00 Mbps



VPN: ±8.00 Mbps

 

[HavocXphere]

Necuno - try another NZB...sometimes they're just slow because its not cached and needs to be pulled from some arb server.

edit...100KB this side.

 

[Dade Murphy]

What speeds do you guys get on 2mb uncapped with p2p/nntp during business hours? Outside of business hours I'm assuming is full line speed?

 

[HavocXphere]

hmm...seeing random drops in throughput in scenarios where the line should max.
