If you considering switching have a look at Afrihost, i changed to there business uncapped about 3 months ago. Line runs full speed anytime of the day.
 
Mweb is owned by Naspers, which owns Multichoice.....not suprised
 
Hey all, I haven't had any problems on my MWEB 2Mbps line and I have been streaming from the states a lot of the last few days.

I have been noticing a subtle decrease in the quality of the service over the last few months, I used to get full line speed, but of late it is around 1.6Mbps most of the time.

Our office MWEB has been very bad, which is really poor considering the price. My home line is way more stable than the business ADSL both from MWEB and we are not talking exchange or line issues.

End of july they fix their ****...apparently, but then again i've been hearing that for 10 months. Tweet @TelkomZA maybe they will up the pace.
 
I don't know how Seacom are still in business. This fiber is down more than it is up and if I was an ISP I would never use them for my primary bandwidth. Thank goodness I'm not with MWeb.

Mweb has been going down hill for the past week... its not just now all of a sudden. There has been a trickle of degradation cleverly spinned under the carpet. Then again what do you expect when you are dealing with men in their pajamas.

Agreed, and I will now join the ranks of those who have left them to play in their PJs
Busy doing the paperwork as we speak. I am considering Axxess and one other.
 
Seems to me it's time to kick Mweb in the balls, they nowadays seems to be the only ISP affected by any cable breakdown?
Time to move on?

I dont know ay, MWEB is very lenient as far as my downloads are concerned, I hardly get any throttling with 200GB download per month on my 1Meg.

Im sure other ISP's will take force against this type of usage.
 
Update

MWEB Guy

The outage happened outside pretoria.

It was the link between Seacoms undersea cable and us that went down.

Status: Resolved
