May I suggest monitoring it for 3 months before declaring victory [

Dang - that's looking better. Just checked Brixton with my laptop - also have to say looking beter...

Mintek is still all over the place ggrrr... downloading is looking beter though...if only we could have your ping (474.3ms ave) times I'd be happy to use SSH again ;-)

Lets hope it ALL gets fixed....

Now, lets see how long Brixton stays "fixed" for you ;-)

noswal · Jul 25, 2004

Well didn't they say they were doing electrial upgrades, guess the tower didn't have enough voltage.

This, at a time when everyone is at church? And not supposed to be downloading porn?

My speeds have just started dying again........down to 2K again......from 12K

And they think that having great speed for 2 weeks is gonna make me happy

NOT......my speed ticket will remain open until the network stabilizes

mrbob · Jul 25, 2004

strange... my speeds are great at the moment, averaging probably about 9Kb/s , they've been absolutely terrible since I've bought the package though, this is the first time I'm seeing anything this fast.. and your speeds are going down.

It's like we're on a see-saw ,when one halfs up the other's down heh

Hope things improve

arf9999 · Jul 25, 2004

Tower 50 has gone backward...last week it improved slightly.. now back to 2kB/s or less.

hArTh · Jul 25, 2004

Maybe you okes can bribe the ST techs to keep you out of the rotating slow speed pool?

They could earn a nice little income on the side doing that.

Strange, I have been running a test beween tower 50 Northpark Plaza and tower 12 Rosbank. Two laptops with a modem on each tower

Both have been running exactly the same since friday, and I have been getting full speed on the 256 packages on both of them.

I cant see a difference in them in 3 days of testing.

Unless I have been making it slow for you

Why not just send the above confession to scumtech and have them upgrade you to to a 512 package [

well i'm on tower 126.

Things are definately better than they were before BUT they've gotten worse since this afternoon, speeds are at around 5Kb/s off tucows.co.za(they're usually max at about 3, average at about 1 for me) , so I mean I'm just over a quarter of 128k , still .... the fact that improvements are being made leads one to believe that perhaps eventually by the end of august as promised I will be sitting with a 128k connection. The chances of that happening though, I dunno...

Let's pray

On http I can barely browse websites. Sentech speed test gives 19kbps download speed. I get an average of 30kbps (highest 80, lowest 10) on P2P if I get 20 or more threads downloading.

I'm on a 128K package, maybe that's the difference. Or maybe the node is different. I'm on Node 2.
