Crystal Web (NEW ISP) ADSL Feedback

[Electric]

Paul
When I signed up with CW I mentioned all of these services.
I was told that they are not streaming services and as such you don't put a high priority on non-legal services.
I still don't agree but decided to not argue as it was getting me no-where.

Go to Primewire.ag, watchseries.it, etc.
The sites used there are the ones we are discussing.

Hey All,

I'm thinking of moving to CW as I'm pretty much sick and tired of Afrihost's useless speeds.
I just have a couple of questions though (apologies if this have been asked before)

- How much Unshaped data do you get on the 4Mb account?
- Will any downloads between 12am - 6am count towards that Unshaped data cap?
- When shaped, how will twitch\youtube\gaming perform? According to the site it shouldn't impact it at all, but I would like to hear some feedback from someone with first hand experience.

That's about it for now

Thanks

100 gigs

Yes

Not sure, in general I didn't really notice a change when my unshaped data had run out, but don't do a lot of streaming in that vein.

That's unfortunate
I just hope the account still performs decently when shaped

It definitely does, in every aspect.

Really - I personally don't know anything about vodlocker, I personally was available to go onto live chat and work with the user to see if there was anything I could learn and pickup on.

Generally issues that are identified are handled by resolution and investigation teams, however I am very keen and willing when able to take a look and work with a tech savvy customer to see if there isn't something simple at play. The last few days I have been busy with a few other commitments and I was reading over support reports last night.

Hi Paul, thanks again for the offer to help me out last night. Much appreciated. I however as mentioned last night found a alternate link that did the job. This once again was just a FYI, nothing major in my opinion and did not think ppl will crap you out, otherwise I would have sent you a PM lol, sry about that. I did note last night, a hour after my post the streaming got a lot better.

@CW

Is my account logged to my telephone number?
I have a forum member that gets kicked out of GT6 online servers with a Lobby error 313.
Unfortunately he uses the same ISP as my backup account.
We have tried various other options like port forwarding, etc.

If I can't give him my CW details(which I would prefer not to, because I can't chance my password), is there a possibility of a test account that you can provide me with? It is not about bandwidth, but if he can open an online lobby and stay in for 20 minutes or more.

I'm only back in the JHB office tomorrow - apologies for me being a little quiet.

RoMark, for security reasons the account is tied to your specific number, but we can unlock it, and you can change the password temporarily for him to test with if need be.

I would appreciate it. Can I talk to Support regarding this at anytime or do you need to have your hand on it?

Anyone in support can assist you with this.

The above was an overreaction. Hitting max speeds on IE / Other.

Sorry.

There is no internet sheriffs all is well, thank you Shaun.
