I'm currently trying to download a torrent on my Mweb 2gb capped account that I keep as a backup account, but it's going even slower than my Openweb Gold Uncapped account on torrents. Have they started shaping it or something, as it's not the first time I've got issues with download speeds on this account? It hasn't gone over 20kb/s yet.
 
Just switched to my free 1gb afrihost account, and it's going at full speed, so it's definitely not on my end. I don't want the mweb account if it's being shaped. :/

That sucks. It definitely wasn't shaped when I signed up for it last year. Going to cancel it then.

How can they just change it, though? I can't remember getting any notifications for it. I also think it speaks volumes of Mweb for starting to shape their capped products. :/

All mweb's capped products are shaped now. What is this I don't even-

That just defeats the purpose of capped internet. :/
 
Hi Graal,

There is a Seacom outage at the moment causing slow international browsing. Please can you test your account when this has been resolved to see if you receive the same results. There is no ETR with regards to the fault.

Regards,
