Mweb Throttling - Its true.

[Dell fan]

I don't see how people can defend mweb with the speeds they are getting.... Wake up people

Speeds on what protocols exactly? See, I woke up when I signed on the dotted line near THIS IS A SHAPED SERVICE. This time last month I was getting 30GB for the price i'm paying now, and as of 11 30 this evening i've pulled 222GB.

Chatted to the specialist..you'll enjoy this:

" Its 3:40 now, and i leave at 4pm, oh and i am on leave tomorrow, so i will get someone else to call you...ok?"

Http downloads now just over 100kb/s
NZB's a horrendous 24kb/s
Torrents 23kb/s

Although speedtest is giving me back my 3.67mb/s linespeed. Seems the shaping has just gone through the roof....R19gb at Axxess here i come.

You had to make an appointment just to get a response like that???

Yes - imacculate customer service from their Specialist help-desk (LOL!). Also got a mail from MWEB Administrator on Mybb asking for details, replied yesterday morning, and not a WORD since then.

Epic. Fail.

Er.
Its impossible for an ISP to affect the speed that your ADSL line synch's at.
Thats determined by the DSLAM.

Whats probably happening, is that every time you change your account details in your router, you're rebooting your router. And its resyncing with the exchange a different rates.
This is a problem with your line quality to the exchange, not the MWeb PPPoE account.

Post us your ADSL Signal stats, attenuation, etc, and lets see...

Daffy - I will pm you the details when i get home tonight..thanks.

Mweb ADSL is CRAP!!!, so let me save you some time, dont use it.
You will buy a 4 Meg account but get just over 38K download speed. and when you call then they are very quick to blame your telkom line.

In my case i did a complete local and international download test, with telkom. I have prove that MWeb cannot provide a 4 Meg adsl solution.
I have cancelled my account, been with MWeb for 6 Hours now.

Utterlry DISGUSTED. I hate their damm sales talk " Oh Yes sir,you will get 4 Meg download speed, we dont use I.S anymore, are now use Seacom and Sat3" Ohh helll, help us.... BULL!!!

Off you go then *waves*

Mweb is not throttling, they even told us so? Im on 300gb for the month so far , and still getting full line speed?
