What http, p2p and NNTP download speeds do you guys get?

My local http is 419 to 424KB/s. Int 70 to 90KB/s, 100+ if I am lucky
p2p is 30 to 98KB/s - not really worried about it.
NNTP is 108 to 132KB/s, spiking to 152.

All speed after switching of the router from 01:30 to 09:00.

4Mbps line, 4Mbps uncapped.
Was getting 700KB/s last night on a 8mbps connection using NNTP.

Yes.

Astra Web only connects on 2 threads, the other 2 says "No Article Found" but when I connect to CW, all 4 runs.

Company responses on the thread are looking a little low...
Any updates regarding if this fix has happened and if it has, why is the gaming latency still bad?

League of legends ping is looking solid (196, which is not the best, but is still pretty good), and I was finally able to stream Twitch at high settings with only one or two freezes.

Touch wood.

International download speed not exceeding 40KB/s.

Any work around for this without getting a capped account?

I need to fix a pc and software downloads take to long!!!

+1 Disconnect, then reconnect, then everything is lightening fast. A minute or two later, and everything just crawls to a halt. Can't even open a SSH session, or browse HTTP

nothing really to report yet

I know you guys can't commit to a time for the fix, just the last we heard was late Thursday night about the new hardware coming online and then nothing further.

Guess it just feels longer to me because I have been awake longer than I usually am and at home when I was meant to be at work. Wisdom tooth keeping me awake all night, yay!

It doesn't bother me too much, I can always switch to a "free gig" but I am running out of those. That, and I have to reboot that stupid Tenda router when I save new details. I don't want to end up in a situation of not being able to play my online games that I pay a subscription for.

Could you take a stab at it or hazard a guess as to when we might have smooth sailing on the international waters?

There definitely is additional capacity but identifying who is benefiting and why is a little more nuanced and we don't want to make any announcement until confirmation

just tried D3, iffy, latency all over the place, trying with a different ISP now, Telkom have been on the line twice so far today and are also monitoring my connection, it would be nice if I could eliminate one of the variables

Does anyone know how I could put the TP-link W8980 into half bridge mode? Does it support half bridge?
