Not on my new mweb connection. I can watch sky news without buffering on 384!
I can't believe how much I was putting up with using the IS basic uncapped.
the decision is, unfortunately, a very simple one!

I was waiting for Imagine to offer MWEB but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon...
Yup, getting ~10-15KBps here
Just spent the past few days in Durban with uncapped (Mweb) 4Mb...... was wonderful. No throttling (shaping, yes, throttling, no), http remains full speed. Got up to 400KBps+ on hotfile and astraweb/cheapernews.
Ppedrick, nothing personal...... and I'm sure you understand.... but you'd better hope MWeb happens before the end of the month. Otherwise I'm leaving.
How's that for the beginning of the month?IS ADSL Local Speed Test to Internet Solutions Rosebank Data Centre said:

Okay, I know I cried wolf last time, but could this be it? Has IS got their ***** together?
We had a disconnect earlier, so I switched us to our pre-paid backup account. Now I have switched back to Uncapped Basic and this is my speedtest result!

That's by FAR the best result I've ever got on this account!

Ppedrick, I logged a ticket as such. Do you have any info on Mweb yet?
Okay, the technician told me that the network is heavily congested.
This morning I have to load local sites up to 5 times before it actually loads, otherwise it times out

Hey guys,
I'm just back after a week off with a nice African bug... it might sound like a holiday but completely wasn't!
Just had a big catch up with everyone on progress and state of play:
- IS accounts don't seem to be getting any better... we are now asking the questions why and how long now?
- MWeb seems to be no closer. They seem to have had to go back to the drawing board but will follow up with them today and see where we are with it all.
So all in all no good news... sorry
Hope everyone is doing ok though.

Hope you're back on your feet and kicking.
Well it seems this morning's dead 'net was only for a while. It's back to 19KBps now at least.
I really really hope you guys manage with the Mweb deal.
