[Mypro-D]

[killadoob]

It was horrible last night. I played for about 2 hours and then gave up. Mweb is advertising their uncapped accounts is good for gaming. Anyone care to log a complaint with the ASA?

It is not just an mweb problem though, most IS accounts are suffering. I am sure they will it though.

As noted elsewhere, it seems to be congestion on the CT/Jhb line. All CT based MWeb traffic now goes via this route, and it seems the extra capacity is not yet in place.

On another thread the MWeb representative says this capacity will be ready in the next 2 days (1st of next month...)

Anyone else notice very poor local ping times (>200ms) from MWeb to SAIX sites this morning (9am on Thurs 8th).

Hi All,

We are aware of the situation and are investigating.

What effect does downloading or uploading have on the ping times? The reason I ask is that, while uploading a PDF to our server in CPT, the ping rate when up to 2000ms. Now the upload is complete, the ping is back to 70ms.

If you are doing many things at once on a line with limited capacity, the ping times will increase. (I only test ping times when no other tasks are running)

I was referring to ping times across a particular network from MWeb to SAIX (Telkom), and wondering if any other MWeb users have noticed slow performance on local (SA) based sites?

National latency

Hi All,

National latencies should now be restored to normal levels.

MWB.

Seems to be normal now, but was rather puzzling. Any explanation, since there was no notification earlier?
