MWEB - International Bandwidth - Update

Ok so someone please explain, Mweb say everything is fixed but Torrents and NZB's are dead.
Waiting patiently for an explanation

When mweb have problems they block p2p i think because they do not have the bandwidth to satisfy the p2p users as well as everyone else, p2p chows heavy bandwidth. Dammit might have to chill on the downloads tonight i guess
 
Code:
Outage Num:7864
MWEB ADSL outage affecting All areas
MWEB ADSL services in the following area may be Slow : All areas : International Browsing and email.
Start Date:2010-05-24 15:15:45
End Date:
Status:Open

they re-opened it.. haha ****ing useless
 
Um...ye...not really MWEB's fault if you ask me. More like Seacom has been up and running for a year and already we are seeing it fail at least once a month as soon it sees heavy traffic. Gosh I sincerely hope MWEB have a hand in EASSy and WACS so they don't have to rely on Seaweed and SAT-3 cable that is half chomped by crabs!
 
There was problems on M-web international ? That really does not explain the speed I have seen this weekend. P2P was between 20kb/s and 200kb/s and HTTP always got fullspeed 430kb/s.

I have said it before and I will say it again, this is the internet I have always dreamed of, M-web uncapped really is uncapped and fast too!

Are you on Crack? Go download via torrents its like 0.5KB/s
 
Ag come on... What is going on with MWEB... Like my previous post said, I am canceling my subscription without thinking twice about it!!! :mad:

OpenWEB, here I Come!!!
 
I am still experiencing 10% dropped packets the moment my connection hits London. It is NOT FIXED.
 
We currently have a partial failure on one of our international links - the same 20% that came back online this morning. Seacom are attending to the matter, but unfortunately we do not have an estimated time to repair yet. P2P traffic is being heavily shaped as a result.

from Freetheweb on facebook.com
 
LOL - torrents during office hours on a shaped uncapped account should do about that yes !
But why aren't you at work ?!

Last week torrents during shaped hours go at about 50KB/s, And i am at work its called a VPN/VNC, and im a consultant flexihours.

@MWEB Operations:

I have a simple question I'd like to ask you. This is becoming ridiculous now. I would like to know if this "problem" is going to happen every month? Last month was the same problem. Now again. Is this going to continue happening every month? because if this is going to happen again next month, I will cancel my Mweb account. I dont want to be part of it. Simple.
 
I am getting http downloading at about 10-15k...Mweb, if you care about customers why don't you just limit the number of these effing uncapped accounts you sell so that when situations like this do arise, you can at least provide everyone with some form of contingency. Now all you are doing is pissing of customers who you will eventually lose if this doesn't get sorted out!!
 
After giving the tinfoil hat people some thought i was wondering mr mweb operation person if you are running at 80% why would p2p traffic be slow tonight for instance?

I can understanding grinding it to a halt in the day but why at night?

Even i am starting to wonder if this is mweb being mweb now. Surely at 80% you could shape the p2p to say 100kb/s tonight without any problems?
 
Anyone know if they had the same 'problem' before they offered uncapped?
