Massive issues with SC2 battle.net tonight. Can't load map lists to create custom games even.

WTFast error when attempting to login: "Access denied. Your subscription does not allow to access with this IP"

Yet last night was fine. The only thing that has changed in this whole process of logging in is the difference in time. Something, therefore, is up with MWEB.

Some feedback on this: All back to its usual self. Danks ne

:)
 
Raided whole BWD Hc on 25man last night with WTFast and 4Mb Mweb Uncapped (limited to 1Mb) with little to no issues and 260-300ms. I've gotten the WTFast crashing issue a few times, luckily never during a raid, but i think this might be the client software related.
 
I've been having such bad performance gaming with my mweb 4mbit uncapped account for just over a week now, World Of Warcraft & Starcraft II (1000ms+ ping going through Lowerping, wtfast and other proxy service's)

I've had to ditch my uncapped account and switch over to Axxess prepaid accounts untill such time mweb sort the problem out. You can not play with these issues with the games said. (210ms with the said Axxess account)

What is going on? Give us some info and an eta on the resolved problem, please :mad:

edit: In Durban
 
MWEB Uncapped 1MB here - fine all evening on Halfus 25M HM (very heavy fight in terms of data transmitted).

News server / Torrents running super slow this evening though...
 
Will, could you guys please have another look at the latency on Age of Conan. Im still not getting any joy with or without wtfast. I was going to cancel my mweb account but mweb has offered to give me the month of June completely free. Latencies are still often from 350 - 600 with spikes up to 2.8k and 4.8k. Again when using my backup account latency is around about 220 - 270 with very very few spikes up to 500/600.

It happens especially in the bigger area's and not so much in tortage. BTW the game is going free to play soon.

Hi Rohan Sorry I have been neglecting this thread a bit this week - if any of you have been following the main MWEB thread you will realize that I have been quite busy :)

There has been a lot of work done his week in terms of overhauling and optimizing the QoS environment based on some of the other issues being reported and I think there should be have been a very positive impact on the gaming front as well. I'll be monitoring closely over the weekend and I'll take another look at Age of Conan as well - although I guess I won't be able to see the full experience you're reporting in the trial portions of the game.

@ral_za I passed on the data you sent for World of Tanks to the engineers and asked them to take another look, let me know if the situation improves - this is a free play game as I understand it? If necessary I'll download the client and get some proper testing running here.

@StevenC - I'm very glad to see that you were able to take advantage of the 1MB package and that it's working out for you.

Also just a reminder guys that our official gaming support team is growing and they are ready and waiting on the Gamezone forum to assist you with queries like this so please do go join the community and let the guys know what you need help with.
 
Thanks Will. I did post on the gamezone a few weeks ago but never got any replies though.
 
Hi Rohan how was the experience over the weekend? Unfortunately I couldn't test anything this weekend - got home on Friday afternoon to discover that I had been nerfed by Telkom (sync light flashing all weekend).

I have no idea Will, this weekend was spent working working working and I did not have the chance to log on at all. Im going on tonight though and will let you know what happens.
 
Is it possible to get a WTFast account to try with Rift? The game is usually pretty decent at around 300ms but I know it's possible to achieve around 220ms, which is actually a world of difference in raids.

Peace
 
I am in Southern Suburbs, Cape Town.

My experience since I have moved up to 1mb uncapped shaped has been fantastic. I do 25 man raiding in WoW and this I feel is a valid benchmark for latency sensitive applications.

So far, I have not lagged out once on MWEB and I have even noticed improvements on some fights. For example, Nefarian / Onyxia phase 2 (when lava rises), I used to see all my guildies on the platform before I could even start swimming up due to lag, last night I was swimming up with them! This is most likely due to having more bandwidth to handle environmental positioning in game.

Downloaded RIFT trial, got full linespeed and the 9 gigs worth of patch took me 2 nights (12am-7am on first night and 12am to 11am on second) to get. Impressive.

News servers / Torrents dont run at full linespeed most of the time but I do understand the need to have those shaped.

Is it worth it? Hell yeah.
 
PSN KZ3 was having terrible lag spikes. Lucky my son is used to it now and still own most guys!
