Ok so apparently paul tells me i managed to break the internet....do i get a medal for first person in CW to actually break the internet? :P
(might want to check with support mika was getting 50kb/s and paul sorted me, now getting 800kbps)

It's that crappy game of yours. :p
 
I cannot urge this enough - please contact support about this sort of thing. We're in the throws of an upgrade; it's not complete; the more data we have to work with the better; it may be something completely unrelated; pings are more stable now, overall download performance is also going to get better.

The final pieces of the puzzle fall into place tomorrow, and things will be far better.

The only remaining issue is http download speeds now.

my line speed had been 435kbps most of the time with an average of 350kbps from 1 - 31 July.

till it died last night.

now its 50kbps. huge difference.

complete stats per hour of my line from 1 July to now

I don't use torrents or news servers.

There's an upgrade process taking place which may be causing the intermittent issues, or it could be a whole host of other troubles. Please, please, contact support - they really are there to investigate this sort of thing for you.

Those ping's don't look TO bad.
 
First priority was stabilising latencies - this has been pretty much sorted out - now we're improving overall performance as well.

I am still getting packet loss here, Gauteng region.

So are your speeds fixed now?

We've honestly been waiting for you to contact support. Seems it was a minor glitch that needed to be resolved by moving you back to the correct IP range, but we cannot process this sort of thing from a forum post. We needed you to get in touch.

Sorry to see you go because of today's issues. :(

Im not saying stay but shouldn't you wait till tommorow? One thing if isp has problem another thing if backbone is at fault.....and they arnt making up stories cybersmart customers not on CW got the emails. And the email did say expect problems today.
Not saying your wrong though not everyone can handle "beta tests".

But honestly, weren't you a bit to hasty? A small fix and you could be fine again. :)
 
Really, you're going to cancel and not even BOTHER to contact support mika1000?

Thats poor form on your part but each to their own.
 
@Crystal Web, it seems I've also been put onto the 41.xx IP range, is this part of what should be happening presently? Or should I get in touch with support?

Ironic.

You gotta have faith!

Oh well, you will be back once the dust settles and your new ISP is taking a dump all over your favourite method of using the internet :)
