MWEB Shaping HTTP traffic for 4MB users now?

This is concerning...I'm on the 384kb line and am topping out at only 10KB/s to MegaUpload
. Is there an upstream issue?

well megalupload would probably be one of the shaped http sites
 
My HTTP download speeds have also been stagnant around 70-150kb/s, but in all honestly I don't care. I can wait that extra 30 minutes, and would rather have this than axxess' weekday threshold any day. ^^
 
Download speeds are back to normal. Tis heaven 330KB/s
 
Looks like the gates are opened at pumpkin-hour (midnight)

Indeed.

I have experienced 200KB/s for most of the weekend and last week and only now after midnight, the line opened up again hitting the proper 4mb speeds that it's capable of.

They are definitely throttling a bit and shaping the hell out of certain sites.
 
Meh I'm having serious issues on a Web Africa account, constantly needing to refresh pages and so forth. And rather worried that though many people seem to have a variety of 'unexplained' speed complaints on MyBB, there seems to be no central cause or explanation. So I don't know if I'm stuck on a 4mbit line that gives me speed tests of 15kbps (literally) on gamco till I figure out the right company to shout at, or if it will magically fix itself in a day or two...
