MWEB + THE WEEKEND = FAIL

[Sting]

Really? I'm paying 2K for the Uncapped/Unshaped package. Am I getting what I pay for?

What is the SLA in the fine print of your contract?

 

[gregmcc]

HTF can you compare DSL to sugar? :wtf:

Big difference between full redundancy and partial redundancy You can have SOME redundancy at a reduced cost, that will protect you in SOME situations. Every LEVEL of redundancy costs more money, so you have to balance out what is economically viable vs your risk levels.

The most redundant networks in the world have outages because of simultaneous failures, some less than others because of how much redundancy they have.

Understandable, but i think alot of people here are also complaining about the delays mweb has giving feed back regarding the network. In the end without the users they would be nothing. Understandably naspers wouldn't fork out a quarter of a million for hardware they "might" get used. But i mean i pay for a premium account aswell, i expect the service levels for it.

Funny to torrents connecting local peers only...some sick guys out there; yeah, I'm talking about you Mr 47.135.35.XXX.dsl.mweb.co.za!

I downloaded that torrent by accident, but I'll let you leech to get my ratio back.

Carry on...

Both taste sweet.

Where did you hear that? I"d like to see someone fix a broken fiber cable in 30 mins!

Rudi said on the FB page it would take between 2 to three hours to fix, and its been down two and a half hours... I highly doubt it'll be fixed in 30 minutes too.

I prefer having them out there fixing it than in here giving us feedback by the minute. Trust me...it's friday night...the only people who are still working atm is their tech guys. No company on earth is going to hire admin staff (keeping us posted by the minute counts as admin) for just in case SOMETHING goes wrong and keeping us up to date by the minute. MWEB has let us know that they are aware of the problem...furthermore they have given us an estimate of how long it will take to fix...now they are busy fixing it. I swear people turn into little children at the slightest hickup

 

[tudorc]

then problem with this board is that it is inhabited by two types of people:

1) isp consumers
2) isp employees or networking gurus

Group 1 don't really care why the hell it is down, what is in the SLA, what cable is broken, or what the traceroute says. They paid for a service and it doesn't work. Fair enough.

Group 2 think Group 1 are largely ignorant folk, who don't understand the massive complexities of internetworking, satellites or cables. They're in the ISP industry generally and fail to see that industry-wide, the service is far below reasonable expectations.

All these Super Grandmasters, I strongly suspect, are in Group 2.
