Crystal Web (NEW ISP) ADSL Feedback

Well, I have something stupid to report.

All those days I was happy, I was actually still logged on to the temp IS account. Even stranger is that I have been using it for the last 3 days! I noticed something was off when my usage emails from CW were coming through as 0 bytes.

So, being an honest person, I immediately switched back to what should be my regular CW account. What a disappointment. Diablo 3 = 500ms. Wildstar = 500ms. Don't even want to risk a LoL game. A small test run of torrents seems to be running fine. NNTP is running fine. Streaming seems fine as well.

Ran a quick tracert, exchange is fine. What I want to know is: Why was the IS account still active (and sorry for unknowingly using it) and secondly why is the latency still borked?

So I am back to square 1 unfortunately. Still have to switch to 1GB accounts so I can play games (I don't want to use the IS account without express permission).

Edit: Did a Live Support, line is fine. Get informed that a fix is being implemented "as we speak".

Yeah, I don't know how I got the 2 muddled. I am almost certain that it was fixed and was using the normal CW for a time, but somehow it got reverted back to IS account on the router?

Anyways, will monitor situation and see.

Lets see:
IS - D3 works
AH - D3 works
WA - D3 works
FNB - D3 works

So... Seems that I'm using the internet for more than watching streams?

Perhaps if I only needed streams I wouldn't mind, but sadly I actually play some games online too from time to time. Currently, and I am waiting patiently, I am paying double to use my internet. So I hope (and prayed) that this will be fixed eventually otherwise I will have to move back to someone who can at least provide me with a service that works.

I see NNTP is flying at 24 KB/s 6:41 pm on a Sunday.

Is CW having capacity issues?
Is CW having routing issues?

All I know is that I knew nothing and I did my own WTFAST ping setup less than a week with one micro vps... So again. I am waiting for a fix, but I really want to see some results soon other than a ****ed up ping, a ****ed up nzb, a ****edup whatever else but porn streams. Perhaps if I was a porn addict... god knows...

// game face on
// wait face on

... of course I'm a little annoyed.
 
Guys it's simple, if you don't want to be a guinea pig, find a different ISP.

I can afford to cut CW some slack, but the slack is running out
 
Agreed...

I still have lots of slack to give them, but my internet is working within acceptable parameters at the moment so I really don't have anything to complain about.

Garsfontein, close to extension 10. Well actually Pretorius Park, but since Pretorius Park borders to Garsfontein and is only the size of 4 blocks I just normally say Garsfontein. :)

+1. That said the SO is about to tighten the noose around my neck because I've been downloading the movie she wants to watch since early this morning and it's not done yet (12 gb though):erm:
