DigiChilli Network Status

Line is up again, downloads looks ok, but latency stil very high for local (getting average of 44ms pinging news24 on work line), average is about a 800 - 1000 ms, and still a lot of request tmed outs.
 
Things are reaaaaally slow today (less than 1kB on HTTP) and I'm also experiencing the connection dying/being unstable issue.

On the umm... remotely positive side at least gtalk is connecting now......
 
up and running again.....thanx.

DC is doing some serious gud s**t out there...the speeds going upto 100kbps.....then again...to the usual 1kbps

:)

Well since we can't use SAIX, and IS banned us, only other options are paid news servers and some free ones (which have horrible limitations).

The decent paid news servers are,
http://www.astraweb.com/
http://www.giganews.com/
http://www.newsdemon.com/

Astrawebs 180GB package seems to be a popular choice among MyBB members. It has no speed limit, allows 50 connections and you can take as long as you want to use it up. ie. A once off package and finish it when you finish it. ^_^

There is another which offers once off packages - Blocknews - I havent tried them out though. They offer 200GB for $25, so slightly cheaper than Astraweb. They even offer 500GB and 1TB accounts as well.
 
This is what i am getting when doing a traceroute from my work line to home line:

Oooh interesting. I'll have a look around and see how good they are. Thanks for letting us know. :D

I'm using Astraweb unlimited for $11 per month.

How's your speed on that package?

Up and down, up and down on HTTP downloads.

Will this freaking network ever stabilize? :cry:
 
Is anyone else having problems reconnecting to their DC account? Or did they change my password again?
 
No trouble authenticating but major trouble downloading and browsing. Most sites fail once or twice and downloads hit 1-4kB, then 0, then 1-4kB a bit later.

You guys still fiddling with things there Dave?

(I'm on that dreaded .65 range as well for what it's worth....but things were perfect speed wise for the last 3 days)
