Hey Dave. I don't know if you got my mail the other day about adding World of Warcraft to the prioritized list. Currently I can not even enter the game at all. This is taken from the blizzard support site.

"World of Warcraft & Burning Crusade use TCP port numbers 1119 and 3724 to play, and UDP port 3724 for in game Voice chat. The Blizzard Downloader, which downloads patches, also uses TCP ports 6112 and the range 6881-6999."

Please could these be added. I am sure there are allot of wow players around.
 
I already have nagios running to check some stuff on the DC network and on my local machines.
 
This is the current status.

Our upstream provider is dropping packets. A substantial amount of packets. They have not as yet rectified this problem. This will affect anything international. Http, torrents, streaming video etc.

Local is fine. This is more an indication of what we're aiming for - except the extra 280ms lag of course.

Neotel crashed today at about 16h00. It took about 20min to come up again. We are going via Cape Town, which adds 50ms to anything international as well. We are waiting for them to remedy this.

We are still in the process of configuring the shaper to meet requirements, e.g. games, browsing, torrents.

We will update you to any more news as soon as we have it.

We are looking at the games and priorities now. WoW will be the first to be done.

I know this is a big ask but has your upstream provider given you any indication as to when they will fix their problem? Dont you have any SLA's with them?
 
Definately not back.

I have been trying to connect to steam for the last 10 minutes.
International http is timing out and not displaying correctly.
When i did finally get a download started it runs at <1KB/s.
Local http is fine. I can download at 40+KB/s single stream.

I've been reading the posts constantly, sadly like most people, but this is becoming ridiculous.
I am giving them until the end of the month to get the problems fixed but so far it seems as if i will be cancelling unless some major changes happen.

All I want is to be able to connect to steam to download my games.
Be able to play World of Warcraft.
Watch some videos on youtube.
I dont want to download the internet. Ive already done that. :)

Dont be a grump, and remember we dont air-punch dave :)
 
:D That did seem grumpy. Not my intention.
Just airing my views, relieving a bit of irritation with paying R400 and not been able to fully utilise the service.
I really hope they get everything sorted out as I want to succeed and put some pressure on the other ISP's to provide a better service.
But if it isnt fixed by end of the month I dont see myself paying for something I cant use as advertised.

Fair enough, understand your frustration. What these blokes are trying to do is commendable I hope they pull it off. That said other ISP's would be forced to follow so we all will be the winner in the end! They would need a few committed guys who will "weather the storm" for it succeed though.

Otherwise it will be another conversation over a few beers, going along the line of "you remeber when DC tried to changes ADSL in SA?.... and failed?"

Its not rocket science what they are trying to do with the shaping/fair usage side of things (working in a ISP myself), i expect as with all IT they are getting flack from the business side of things to strike the perfect balance.
 
Sup yo...

What happening with the network... You guys still at it? Must be difficult in our country's wiring...

Update on my side...
Google was good today (the times I checked)! Which was cool so I could work some... Not working tonight though!

Local is intermittent, but when it works its really fast!

Torrent between 0 and 2 KBps

File download from Mozilla.com... no

Skype text worked intermittently throughout the day!

www.speedtest.net to Zimbabwe was horrible!

Cant think of anything else I tried today right now! Im hungry!
Also, since Ive already paid and have no choice to wait to the end of the month...
I will help and report what I experience!

But I also hope there will be a cancellation option in cp, cos I cant find one... only "COOL ME DOWN"
I dont want to pay for testing if this goes on into January!
I rather cancel and wait!

Appreciate the effort and the long hours your guys are putting into fixing the issues...
From all the forums and posts Ive been through, It would be interesting to know how many users have registered and paid for your service already?!
The bank account must be looking like an instant motivation?!?!


I'm a wandering and my mind wanders deep! :wtf:
 
As far as i can tell, they have not debited my a/c yet. O.o

Not to sure why that is. But i also paid r240 with a discount...

Afrihost is cruising. DC is .................... not.
 
DC .vs Dialup

0.4344 per minute at 56k at a local -50km radius
R26.00 per hour
at 56k per hour you can download 21.4MB
per day you could download 514MB that would cost you R625.53

:D ok enough from me Im outta here!
