DigiChilli January Status and feedback

My torrents is dl at near to line speed 28kB/s
Maybe they are trying something to make torrents faster and it messed up the http perf.
 
Just really hoping one day I can come here and find just positive remarks. Dave, I am not an ISP worker so I really have no idea what it entails to run one, but in this case, could you explain why these issues with ports and certain services not working are taking so long? I really would have thought it was a matter of just opening certain ports and giving them higher priority than others? Obviously not, as it would be fixed by now.

What I always fear with the cheap ISP's is due the high cost of bw in SA, their contention ratio's are so shot. So they end up juggling with really complicated filter rules to try and get the most out of their total pool of bandwidth, when really they don't actually have enough to cope with a proper uncapped/unlimited service :-(

I heard they invested 40 million bucks. That's alot don't you think?

I don't really get what point you're trying to make with the amount invested. They could have invested 1 billion - who cares if the service doesn't fulfil your needs?

Not trying to be argumentative, just don't see what you're getting at.

Yeah. I agree with you. It's just that 40 million Rand is quite some dough.:D

@ dave

find out if there is any truth to this and ifso what is woud the timeline be ?

Ps . Sorry Form my eng!
 
Payment methods? speeds? im on a 4meg?

Payment methods ... credit card works fine.

Astraweb 20 connections on a 4 meg line = 160 kb/s max. Complete waste of time.

Try newshosting as news provider 30 connections running 426 kb/s max.

Its a bit more expensive but worth it ... considering you downloading 3x faster ....
