Ok, going to attempt to use the recommended settings and see if there's no difference.

Everything else is crap.
Even this page loads incorrectly as seen here
Nah, can't bear this tortute, I've switched to Afrihost. I'll check back after 22:00.

Speedtest.net probably enjoys the highest priority - no good to man or beast when all else is throttled to death.
Yeah..... Very unfair though. They clearly said its not throttled but based on available bandwidth.... Sure having high speeds in speedtest.net means there is bandwidth available so why is that bandwidth not being added to the lower priorities..... They should allow that atleast.... Looks to me like they fixed the priorities and its not dynmaic which means it will be stuck like that even if you are the only one using the apn.....
Its a very decent service non the less but not for R199 I think its pricey for what you get.... Will have to see if they will relax the priorities a bit but I doubt it......

I mean how many people are using the APN? 20? 50? You mean to tell there's no avail bandwidth for decent speeds.

I told you folks! This product tormented me at first but found a way to bypass the restrictions.
It's shared connection that is why your speedtest results are awesome but they limit each user to certain amount of bandwidth(speeds).
Good luck getting 1 gig out of this product a day if it is possible.
Reminds me of that R50(MTN) product.

5AM, and virtually unusable. No difference whatsoever.
How do you file cancellations?

Seems worse than last night......FB took literally 4 minutes to open, and that was not even fully opened. All HTTPS sites are woeful at best. All the while speedtest.net shows great results.

So, as we have it, everything is given a ****ty priority with some sites even ****tier than ****ty so that all users will benefit by enjoying an excellent experience playing with speedtest.net - go figure!!

DAY 1 - REPORT (UNBIASED)
Feck this product in its moer in - I cannot handle this turd of a product embellished with sugar.
1.It is unusable.
2.It is counter productive.
3. My BIS is a pleasure to use in comparison.
4.It is a waste of time.
5.It is a waste of money.
6.What they claim to offer is patently misleading to the public and they should be reported.
7.It has been a frustrating experience from day one.
8.ALL HTTPS sites are unusable (5+ minutes to perform a google search).
9.Most other sites are frustrating with frequent "denied/blocked'' messages - my work internet is not this ridiculous.
10.Any download/s max at +/-6/7 KB/s.
11. Emails in outlook load at infinitely pathetic speed.
12.Windows updates is a no go.
13. Streaming radio at 22kbs is pathetic with constant buffering.
14. Youtube is pathetic - 144p is even too strenuous for the product.
There are absolutely no reasons to consider this product, unless you from cloud cuckoo land afflicted with a morbid fascination for speed tests, then stay well-away.
There is no way you can abuse the product - there is just insufficient ''horsepower'' to even try.
I would imagine MTN lite unlimited would be a far better experience. Or, Afrihost on a capped 10GB service.
I challenge any LUCIDVIEW rep to state the contrary - bottom line for me your product sucks.
Don't offer unsuspecting people unlimited coke-cola and make them drink it through a hypodermic needle - uncool

Xeslaro, did you send that to them and told them about this thread? I think it would be awesome if they can get a rep here to tell us what's going on.

Ah, thanks Slab. It's disappointing that they didn't get someone here. Afrihost does really well with their "heroes" at MyBroadband, I wish other companies can have the same level of commitment.
