DigiChilli Network Status December

[Stillie]

Thank god I didn’t give them my credit card details and paid via EFT.

Tried the “Cool Down” feature on their site to cancel my account but it just opens with a blank page after clicking the blue chilly button. Even their contact page doesn’t allow multi line input and submits when you press enter in the “multiline” input box.

I had a couple of good download sessions but it doesn't begin to make up for all of the downtime.

Sorry to say this but you should have sorted out all the issues before going live and taking people’s money.

SAOL, here I come…

have u read the SAOL T's & C's with regard to uncapped? quoted: R59 per gig for usage over 15gigs

 

[froot]

It's probably related to how the've worked out the bandwidth budget I think.

Yup. They said they have made space for x amount of accounts to work in accordance with the bandwidth they own. This is more targeted towards intl I think, as local is more widely available.

I think you refering to their fixed IP solution.

Methinks you are looking at the wrong T&C I dont see anything with over 15gigs you have to pay R59 .

Correct.
Fixed IP is like that.

Fixed (static) IP : All-in-1 allows you ADSL access with a fixed IP and a 15Gig soft cap.

This an uncapped account, the first 15Gigs are free, at the end of the month any usage over and above 15Gigs is billed at R59 per gig. This account is not capped at 15Gigs.

Now back to Digichilli..... uhm..... intl is like close to dead.... still.....

Read it again because you are confused!!! These T's & C's relate to a completely different package :wtf:

 

[diabolus]

Oh, for heaven's sake can DigiChilli actually READ THEIR FREAKING EMAIL!

I waited patiently since last week, now it is over. I phone and no one phones back. I email multiple times no one responds.

So i'm sorry to say, i went from just asking for a login , to demanding a refund.

Guess i'll visit hellopeter now.

 

[sallyspencer]

my DC is eventually working...thanks guys...

but still all the same problems.....

 

[HoodRich]

ok, torrents are looking decent (about 15KB)

rofl

that would be funny if I wasnt so frustrated at the moment.

15Kbps is thirty times faster than 0.5KBps.

 

[Nerhzelok]

Torrents are going really well! Int. browsing however is still a bit on the slow side. Youtube videos load, but still take a while.

 

[Gothan]

Woohoo!!!!!!! news server flowing again....aaaahhhhh perfect bliss. Whatever you did DC, remember it and do it again next time

 

[kimbo]

Speed picked up on my side

Torrent speeds:

[HoodRich]

Wow - 40K for torrents ;-)

EDIT : International HTTP is still < 3Kbps

Better than nothing I guess........ Thanks for whatever you did DC

 

[Stillie]

yea it looks like it but then i have looked on thier site for the "decent" uncapped i actually dnt find anything about uncapped besides taht fixed ip solution

ok on thier home page there is the uncapped ad. when u click there it takes u to the T&Cs it dont say anything when u click thro but it does on the advert... all im saying is when u guys are apply check with them 1st to make sure thats not the case

Hey all,

Whilst we on the topic of DC and internet and so on. Can someone please give me some advice or assistance with the below.

I have a Netgear 834GT, and a Planet 401D. I have a webafrica account setup on my Netgear in router/modem mode, so im runing half bridge. Now i would like to set my Planet 401D to PPPOE my digichilli account through my Netgear router as the DSL modem.

I have setup the config on the planet and it is trying to connect however the log shows delayed response on the pppoe connection and therefore it stops dialing and tries again. I can dial the pppoe from my PC so the netgear is accepting the pppoe bridge dial up.

Any experience from anyone on this or ideas ?

 

[Zyzzyva]

I just shed an emotional tear at being on a working connection again.

It's a beautiful thing.

 

[CyBeRmAn]

I am having quite a large burst in speed (torrents) right now. Anybody experiencing the same?

Yup. For the FIRST time, an intl torrent works on my account!
Still only 6KBps though.
