Hi,

I guess it is said somewhere in the numerous posts over the weekend, but I would love a simple "yes" or "no" as I don't have the time to read all the posts:

Did Sentech solve the bandwidth issue as promised on Friday or not?



South Africa needs World Class Broadband at World Competitive Prices.
 
methinks we need to give the "fix" time to settle before making any calls of its viability. It remains to be seen how another month of new subscribers/maintenance/general network expansion will affect the service...

Working on LoneGunMans theory, its quite shmart of them not to have applied the fix on friday as planned, save them a weekend of MEGADOWNLOADING from users.
 
On the other hand, the same file from kernel.org via FTP is achieving 6.5Kilobytes per second averages. I'm very puzzled as to the difference in speeds between the two protocols. Same file, same server, different protocols, different speeds? Have Sentech simply upped the priority of HTTP uber alles?
It is naturally also possible that more "upstream" providers are doing that kind of prioritisation.

Try these:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.6.tar.bz2
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.6.tar.bz2
