MWEB 384k uncapped crawling

Is it just me ??? Cant get more than 5k/s anywhere

Its all those dstv subscribers streaming the shows that they forgot to watch last night. And they cant watch the five other repeats either lol

 

[bradlesliect]

mine has been crawling for DAYS and DAYS and DAYS and........DAYS!

not sure what's happening... I know the MWEB rep answers FAQs in another forum, don't know if rep is going to make an appears here. It would be interesting to know how many of MWEB's subs are 384k and 512k, the demographics that make this up in terms of locations and how they experience has been in terms of speed since Seacom has been fixed.

I'm not MWEB but today on p2p i'm unable to get more than 5KB/s. Downloading from say download.cnet.com i get 25KB/s. IMO someone has seriously turned up the throttling - last week I was getting 40KB/s on p2p and other sites...

I'm downloading Opera 10.5.3 right now... At 2.9KB/s... And nothing else is running... This seriously blows. I'm back to below dialup speeds now.

Edit: Murphy's law says that as soon as I mention something it'll change... And lo and behold.. It shot from 2.9K to 20K after 10 minutes.... and is steady at that now...
