DigiChilli January Status and feedback

I see Afrihost is offering R14.50 per gig again. Good news for the DC users when you have your down times. :)

Hope DC comes right soon after all their prices are really great. I think they will when everyone starts getting bored of downloading and start easing up on usage after all uncapped is here to stay :D

When I first got uncapped from Axxess I downloaded 24/7 for 2-3 month, now to be honest I seldom do more than 7 hrs a day (currently with SAOL).

Hang in there DC guys, when people start reaching this point I am sure your internet experience will really improve.

+1 I got me a couple of GBs from Afrihost

I've been down since 15th/16th and it's now 7.15pm on the 17th and I'm totally disconnected. I know the 'premium' clients have had little or no interruption but us 'smaller fish' have been dumped at sea. The contact centre which is supposed to be open 7 days a week 'till 10pm has been off since lunchtime today...
 
Browsing is good, Int is slower than local but acceptable...Torrents are running at my package speed which is great. i get my line speed bursts :D love the rush. I am Definatly getting what i paid for. Thank you DigiChilli ;)

Based on the Status and feedback update on the first page, just being curious, why is Rapidshare being classed as P2P with torrents.
When using Rapidshare aren't we downloading directly from the Rapidshare server therefore HTTP based downloads.

My Rapidshare speeds are shaped to around 5-10KB/s and yet I can go to www.gametrailers.com and queue up gigs of videos and get full line speed(40KB/s) when I download them.

Has anybody on a 4meg line checked what speed they can get downloading a video from www.gametrailers.com?

Spicy on 384line.
 
Eish, the network is unstable...getting anything between 6KB and 22KB, then nothing, then all of a sudden it jumps to 40KB
 
What happened to Steam? Since I started using DC again on Tuesday (I think) all was fine with regards to connecting to Steam and downloading my game content.

For the past 3 or so days nothing. Can't even sign in.

What gives?
 
im not sure if ill pay for another month, ill wait until they stabilise the network a bit.

Using DC mild R500
ADSL line speed 512

HTTP Getting 30 - 50 KB/s download speed using DAP (http://www.gametrailers.com)

Utorrent 2.0 = 2 Torrents ( Down: avg 2.4 kB/s) Healthy Torrents
Youtube = Has improved
Audio streaming = Ok
Browsing = Not always 100%

Online gaming = Installed second life, a little lag, playable 60% of the time

DC is still not there yet, hopefully they sort their shaping out soon, Most of the issue I encountered was: Connection times out (Have to re-authenticate my details) Slow torrents, Browsing dead but torrents still running, Some of my emails do do not come through(Gmail) server issue maybe?

I also checked that when I restart my modem, and PC the connection speeds are great for about 5 min then slow again, might just be a coincidence...or something to do with my IP address ...Check your IP addresses and see if there is any difference in speeds.

Weird????:whistle::whistle:
 
everything gone kaput here.....browsing can do with some pages......can't work on my blogs.......

GTalk working....http downloading stinks big time.....:cry::cry::cry:
