Experiencing a very slow internet on IS

Thanks Keoma and MrBEEP for converting my dailup back to broadband. Whoever thought time travel to the past will be a good idea, it sucks. Did IS actually say it was because of the rate limit policy or can it have anything to do with telkom upgrading the lines to 8mb/s?

How long will this be available for? I don't mind having thresholds during 8am-8pm weekdays.
 
mmm, seems better today, even during the day, not brilliant, but the packet loss is lower now, still not gone though, even to local addresses (my office in Cape Town)
 
Propertiere: MrBEEP and Keoma are one and the same person. Hopefully OpenWeb can convince IS to keep things this way.

Sapphiron: Are you with OpenWeb? Or another ISP?

MrBEEP: I'm guessing that this change will be standard across all Uncapped Express accounts with all ISP's? Or will this change only apply to OpenWeb accounts?

Seriously weird International connection at the moment. Battling with Facebook, wikipedia, Google, rapidshare, AVG updates
 
Please can you guys check on the IS usage page what your status is.

Mine says i am hard capped - limit reached.

Only thing i can do right now is surf local sites. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
 
Hey Guy, I also had the same problem... I found out my account is also hard capped now now... I thought my is UNCAPPED account... IS is been ridiculous the whole month and their action is totally unacceptable.
 
Hey Friends

There is currently a major backbone fault over at IS. Engineers are attending.

This will affect ALL IS users, capped and uncapped.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused!

Kind regards
MrBEEP
 
Having exactly the same problems here... We have reached our threshold, but there is no way that our speed is even at 192kb now, its probably a quarter the speed of 56k, and thats after multiple page refreshing. So they are telling us that when you reach your threshold, you speed is halved, this is a complete lie, as far as I see it, all thresholded users go to the back of line and are forced to share whatever is leftover in the trash.

this is a breach of contract as far as I'm concerned. And what gets me even more is that IS dont send their resellers status emails (apparently IS is having a technical problem now) that can be relayed to their clients about the current problematic situations.

Hey nuyork I'm with Openweb yes, why do you ask.

btw, i'm suffering from the lack of international now too.
 
Also on IS uncapped, it's been so bad I've already cancelled my ISP account. If I had more time I would love to take them to small claims court as I am NOT getting what THEY have been paid for.

I don't care who's fault it is, I care that those getting paid to provide something actually provide it.
 
as though my uncapped account was not "hard capped" anymore... the internet speed is very slow... only the local website that I can access right now... rest... not working...
