Crystal Web (NEW ISP) ADSL Feedback

Doesnt really coun,t i saw talking about streaming......acestream is without the slightest doubt P2P i can't complain about P2P at all i get line speed on anything ive tested....on the other hand streaming from anything other than youtube/hulu :/

Did you purposefully ignore all my other statements regarding Youtube, Hulu, etc.?

So that's over a month now? Was looking to get on board but it's not looking very promising.

Discounting a company that hasn't even officially launched yet because of teething problems, which these most certainly are, is pretty unreasonable, don't you think? If they announced that they're officially open and running business as usual, then you'd have reason to write them off as a potential service provider.

Apart from HD porn streams... How is the gaming + general surfing?

Everything except gaming is fine for me. Gaming is dreadfull though so have switch to a backup isp each time.

I'm on windows 8, and using the Windows 8 Netflix app, if you hit CTRL+ALT+S, you can see the bitrate. Mine hangs around 1750 most of the time ( sometimes dropping back to 750 or 560 ), and it does on occasion get to 2350 and sometimes even higher, but only right at the end. What's yours get to ?

If you search for the video "El Fuente 60MP10" on Netflix and play it, it displays the bitrate and resolution. This works on the Roku.

Also, on the PS3 Netflix version, if you depress the right analog stick during a video's playback it shows you the quality of the stream

Pressing select does that? It says for example 720HD - nothing about bitrate? Or is this something different?

Not getting anything better than 1050kbps @ 640x480, and nothing higher that 480SD on the PS3.

Does your netflix traffic get routed differently depending on which DNS server you use @ Unotelly ? I doubt it - but thought about that.

Weird thing is : I just downloaded Windows Server 2008R2 Sp1 ( 980MB ) at FULL line speed ( 1020Kbps ), so this just doesn't make any sense.

Windows updates usually come from akamai servers which peering partners in sa host

Wow, this is really the first time ever I am possible to stream 720p on YouTube. Could never do it with AH and Mweb.

 

[HavocXphere]

Excellent performance tonight...hoping this keeps up.

It looks like CW has been working day and night to optimise their imported unit. One can see the improvements on an hourly basis!
By the looks of it, flying a Jumbo jet would have been easier.
I feel priviledged be be one of CW's first customers/ beta testers.

 

[Phinix]

Everything is running at line speed now, which is wonderful.
Only Twitch is still having issues streaming. Lets hope that comes straight.

 

[Sinbad]

Started a D3 game.
Latency 198ms! I nearly creamed my pants! Sadly, within a minute it had gone up to 900ms

 

[HavocXphere]

Sinbad PM me the IP of the D3 server...want to check whether its stable my side.

They use a few. Also, it seems to be unrelated to ICMP RTT, it's more than that.
