Cr@p speeds again 2mbps on a 10meg line

 

[remybfg10k]

Nimz, 1mbps on a 10meg line here in Joburg

 

[RogerWilcoZA]

my pings are jumping up and down between 10-500ms...

 

[adam_g]

I think its fixed in joburg. Back to 10ms and mybb is now loading. Gonna try a torrent now

EDIT: Getting between 600Kbps & 1MB on torrents its very unstable. Same with http downloads speeds are all over the place.

 

[Fcon_Vpro]

Mine seems ok in JHB. Hit constant 1MB/s on a torrent now.

 

[cavedog]

There now seems to be a notice on the call centre number about slow speeds.

 

[Fcon_Vpro]

Yeah im down again as well... super slow

 

[PsyCLown]

Things seem better: http://www.speedtest.net/result/3913371406.png

Pretty elite speedtest if you ask me haha

 

[mika1000]

very few web pages open...

56kbps speeds would shame vox today!

 

[MikyMouse]

Well this is great:

Broke, broken, brokenest....

2 hours to downloaded a 100meg file (Evernote install) on a 10 meg line

 

[BCR]

Never mind trying to use Bolt-on data ; can't even access this link to check previous data usage (using Chrome) : https://portal.lantic.net/vox/portal/login/login.jsp
Was working on Friday, if I remember correctly.

Maybe they've closed shop :wtf:

Where do we claim our money back for 1/2 the month we might not get to use
(16th - 30th November).

EDIT: that link finally worked (using a different ISP, but once you try getting past "Data Accounts", the system takes its sweet time .. ).

I suppose the only consolation for me is that MWeb's shaping (towards the time that I finally got fedup) and Plugg's star rating was even worse than this, and I was paying a lot more.

 

[AfricanTech]

Sigh....

The daily moan.

MyBB access borked.

Lol, just had to post this little gem here:

Ouch! Did you see the new CZ change yet? Mailshot went out i see. Interested to hear thoughts and we should get a thread going to keep it OT.

I'm no longer a Vox client, I did see the email though (even though I'm supposed to be unsubscribed from their mailing list).

They finally processed it . Sorry about that.
