iBurst very slow

[Luke7777]

The map is wrong ?

 

[minkukel]

the moral of the story
dont generate maps without testing it

Is there anyone else using the tower in Plumstead here? I would like to know of some good ways to test the speed of my connection and I would also like to know exactly what I should be expecting of it. The IBurst terminal program was saying 1000kbps on Monday when I got it, but since then I seem to be getting about 200kbps average. It also seems to disconnect if I leave it on in the morning and come back at night.
Thanks

Just try these:

I'm currently getting 1050kbps on the Telkom speed test. I also think the disconnect problem over the past week has finally been fixed.

Buddy, you've got a problem.

Give us some details of your location, gear, etc.

 

[Grimsqueaker]

Do I have to stop as much other traffic as possible to run these tests?

 

[Gatecrasher]

If you want the test to be accurate, yes.

 

[Grimsqueaker]

I'm really getting sick and tired of this fcking bouncing up and down... This connection is SO slow it's actually moving backwards! And it's so blood tempramental, it's not even funny: Last night I had NO problems getting into my art chat applet - tonight it just doesn't want to load again... What a load of bollocks!

*there is no emoticon to express how pissed off I am...*
