On my 384 line, I've jumped between 25kbs and 55kbs while downloading from astraweb

Is the trial over?

I have a 'free' account and it won't authenticate as of today.

 

[JvanD]

Best I have been able to do is 55 kbps on a 4096 line ... now if I can just get 100 kbps i'll be happy.

Maybe opt for a bigger package ....

The price motivates however the redundancy is still an issue.

DC is account active and running smoothly.

Still have the old errors trying to run the MyConnection PC program.

5fm streams well.

Secondlife still won't go past halfway with login. Just hangs.

Yes, it's over. I paid the R240 on Monday and today my free trial account details are active again. So I guess you can keep the old details.

 

[d7e7r7]

any news on getting the issues with cheapernews fixed??

 

[confused2009]

Is everything fixed now?

Cos things are still slow on my side...

 

[Natedogg]

I think it's just the gaming and torrents that do not seem to work that great...
