MWEB Gaming Feedback

Later Today. Internet speed seems back to normal but still getting packet losses:

Ping statistics for 74.125.233.20:
Packets: Sent = 106, Received = 102, Lost = 4 (3% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 38ms, Maximum = 51ms, Average = 41ms
 
Local console scene are ecstatic at Mweb - Telkom peering. You can imaging the chaos this was causing.
 
nice... seems that the upgrade did the job... latency to some of the servers dropped from 500 to 80 - 90 and my steam issue disappeared.... great!!! :love:

WTB Beta key plox! :D Neeeeed to test if this game will run fine on my line and lappy before I buy. :(

ps. Will, I was told the following by the WTFast guy in the wow thread.

Have you tried switching to ports 80, 443, or 22? It might help. If you are close to JHB, it might also help to try our JHB to X servers. (X = whatever region your final game server is in). You might also want to try running TCPView to see if something might be running and eating up your bandwidth - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437

Just to check with you, which ports would be deemed okay for me to use? Don't want to be flagged as an abuser or such. :o
 
So...Seacom is down....pretty typical of this service at this point...Honestly since i've signed up with Mweb, as to avoid all the grief i had with Telkom, its been as bad if not worse. 10 days downtime...minimum. 10 days of slow intermitant international connections and laggy gaming.... are we gonna get those Pro-rata refunds MwebGuy? or we gonna get a lame excuse again?

Wait...you know what nevermind...I think i can figure it out myself -.-
 
My black ops is not working. please fix it asap as I'm playing hardcore league matches this week. and playing clannies this week
 
Okay Rise of Flight stopped working yesterday and is still down. It is obviously being confused with a torrent again or whateverr dumb protacol detection system you have says it is.
While poor ping is one thing, denial of service is unnacceptable.
I can log in, connect to the master server but the moment I connect to a game server with a ping of 290 which is playable it boots me at connect screen.
It has been doing this since Saturday when the big crash occurred.
Can we have an update on when gaming issues related to the crash will be fixed?
 
BFBC2 steam question

Since Seacom is poked, does that mean mweb (even after business hours) blocks the ports and connectivity to steam? i had no issues up until midday yesterday, and now i can't even authenticate with steam or EA servers, anyone have some info on this?
 
@MWEBGuy Is console gaming (Xbox, PS3) considered P2P traffic? Would it be affected by stricter control on P2P during outage?

@eXpZA afternoon Michael, gaming traffic is not treated as P2P; however it will be affected as it is international traffic.
 
If I restart steam at night I can't get back in?! The games work fine, I just can't connect to servers(no downloads + retarted router and deleted clientregistry.blob) possible issue or congested exchange?

In the morning it works fine again.

Hi Mike

We have made a specific point of getting the Steam Authentication server details from Valve and optimizing this traffic. If you're connecting to our local steam caches for downloads there shouldn't be any issues with this either.

if it's congestion there would be other visible symptoms. High latency, potentially some packet loss etc.

Drop MWEB Guy a note with your details and he can check your line conditions and send a request to Telkom to check for possible congestion.

Thanks
Will
 
Can anyone access their items on TF2? Not sure if I'm experiencing an mweb related fault or if its the game itself.
Could access items fine about an hour or 2 ago.

EDIT: As far as I've been able to tell it was a problem with the game and not Mweb. Items finally load again.

Hey Mweb

I know this is still a few months away but I hope just like WoW you guys will look at the shaping rules etc for SWTOR coming out in December :) I have preordered it and would love to at least be able to play on my Uncapped account without forking out more money for a Unshaped account. Just thought I would ask a little early :)
