Have the graveyard shift been told to expect gnashing of teeth and such from clients and potentially flaying of skin from management if the fsck up? :D

This polishing of the car idea has been bounced around and we've concluded that we can't second staff to clients due to the labour broker issue, but this doesn't apply to seconding staff as part of an educational mission to ICT companies. There are quite a few Telkom trokkies that could do with a polish (not the ones involved in deploying alternate forms of FTTC - fibreglass to the curb) and clients who would benefit from having a techie on site. The staff receive an educational experience of mentorship by a Telkom techie. Of course we'll need to approach Telkom on this

Hi

Pardon me, CW, i switched over to your backbone from IS a few minutes ago in preparation for the cutoff tonight, then ran a few tests and all I can say is, the performance is not nearly up to par with IS unfortunately. Sorry !:erm:

It's not poor, but certainly not as good as when I am on IS.

Example : on IS - netflix streams to HD within 30 seconds - 1 min max, on CW - it just took 8min 27sec to get to HD quality, and no, it's not my side, the IS account proved this already. So I know my connection is capable of much better.

So what now....?

Anyone else in the Eeastern Cape that is able to compare performance if you are currently using an IS temp account ?


EDIT: Another example - this Youtube video - buffers like hell on 480p - ag nee man !#$#T$^#$^

I think your internet is hinting at your bad taste in music :p
 
I just logged on with my CW account after 2 weeks to play Star Trek Online & the launcher takes 6 minutes to load, another couple of minutes to load the game & the first thing I got after selecting play was 'login timed' out & after another try 'disconnected from server'. On the IS account I was in & playing within 3 minutes. I really hope this is sorted out by tomorrow guys, because this is the only game I play at the moment :(
 
My internet is completely dead. Extremely slow. Can't even do a speedtest. Nothing. Power cycled my modem and still the same thing. CW what's going on.
 
I clicked that YouTube video earlier, it played quite well. I was a bit concerned that the video did not buffer ahead as it normally does only to find out at the same time a steam update was in progress at 324KB/s, I am amazed.

Don't have time for support. Gotta pack my bags. Time for me to take my leave and going to Durban ;)

@CW: I arrive back on the 11th of August. I expect the Internet to be the way it's meant to be by then. I have tapatalk so I will still be following closely. If I arrive back and my account is poo, you're not going to like me very much ;)
 
Star Trek Online, wanted to test that now for you on my side althex, launcher update of 27.4MB updating at 1-1 to 318kbps, might be a while.

Yeah, forgot to mention I had to switch to the IS account to update it first, was finished within a few minutes. If you get a chance please test & PM me or post. I thought I was the only person playing it :)
 
Well despite the international issues I've managed to pull >100GB this month, mainly netflix... Not unhappy
