I have a strange feeling that they are making all these changes before the new Consumer protection act comes into play

Pretty clever of them actually, at this rate they won't have any consumers to worry about protecting.
LOL, and there the number is gone.
They just went to far this time. I don't mind network problems (it's something that happens) but with changing of packages, and never knowing when it will actually work, they shot themselves in the foot a few times. But I got value for money for 7 months.
The worst part is they changed the packages mid-month with no prior warning, meaning we all have to suffer either several days of this half-on half-off shaped to hell connection OR lose a bundle signing up for another ISP early. Pretty much as scummy as the recent Afrihost move..............but at least THEY sent out an email about it.
I'm getting tired of this crap as well, on Tuesday I was getting some good speeds during the day and then at midnight Rapidshare starts timing out yet I still got good speeds for normal HTTP, then the whole of Wednesday I was getting fantastic speeds then around 22:30 Rapidshare starts timing out and my HTTP speeds drop to below 10KB/s. Now today Rapidshare has been either timing out or getting 1-3KB/s and normal HTTP is around 5-15KB/s.
Their shaping is all over the place, how do I get near full speed during office hours and then after hours next to nothing. It just doesn't make sense.
I'm just waiting till the end of the month to try out another ISP.
It does boggle the mind how after hours is shaped more than business hours. I don't know if I can wait a few more days to move away from DC.
Getting 23KB/s now but I am still surfing so that may be why it's gone down.
Speeds yesterday were terrible. I think the best speeds I got during the day was 9KB/s :wtf: and then after 8/9pm I was lucky if I got 7KB/s, but wait there is more I do remember after 10 my downloads got a quick shot of crack and were going at 12KB/s!
So yeah looks like we've swopped speeds lol tomorrow it's clickme's turn!
EDIT: Just checked my speeds and since I stopped browsing all together my speeds have climbed to 26KB/s![]()
