Latest Mywireless performances

I noticed that the bursting hasnt been occuring on a few of the international sites.
 
Can't say I'm experiencing the same thing as you guys (128K JHB).

My international d/l's still get capped to 5k/sec but local crawls along at 10-12k/sec.

I still don't believe that they're sharing unused bandwidth after hours. I never get peaks in my international downloads. Ever.
 
I never experience peeks aswell.. though my ping times are now... *gasp* playable!
 
Quick update: Im getting UNBELIEVABLE packet loss for the first time since last years dabacle. On top of that, pings are spikey too..

Right now I wouldnt recommend this 'service' to anyone remotely considering it.

Im connected to tower 60 in durban north

I'm also getting some packet loss (5-10%) and spiking on BOP, (started today).
I have forwarded some detail to ProAsm.

Hi dbnnet, thx for that.

Ive spoken to 3 other people from Durbs and they confirm theyre getting the same. Must be a link problem?
 
Yes, I'm busy sending all the TraceRoute detail to them right now.
I'm normally getting 0% packet loss (on a 48% signal).

Edit: The problem for me starts at 66.18.67.106, which I believe is the
backhaul access point at Sentech Durban North. As you obviously link directly
into Durban North, you are bypassing that and going directly to 66.18.67.105

You are probably right and it is a link issue.

Just to add to your TraceRoute, im doing one now and from what I see the packet loss starts from 66.18.67.105 which is my 3rd hop.
 
dbnnet, I would hate to think that I'm going from Pta to Jhb via DBN :)

Hmm wondering, do you guys get throttled only internationally? If so, a local proxy might be an option for those of you wanting 1 or 2 or 3gig of down bandwidth a month at maximum sentech local capable speeds (altho obviously this is international)

I can put together a package on hosting box for you guys interested, it will go at around R100-R110 / gig combined traffic. Can still be discussed, if people seem interested and take it from there.
 
Luke7777, thanks for that detail.
This now puts a new perspective on it
as I can't locate the local Durban Cisco router then.
(Either that or you ARE going via Durban :) )

As far as my limited knowledge goes, everybody registers their first hop as 66.18.87.50, which also seems to be the "server" doing the bandwidth management, since pinging another ST user also goes through .50 and bandwidth is managed from MW to MW connection. I guess then the backhaul is not an IP network..
 
The backhaul is an L2TP network, not IP so yes, everyone would share the same first hop.
 
Someone at the Durban north tower reaaaally needs a slapping..
