Question - Is Mweb de-prioritizing gaming? Because, after 6pm or 7pm, latency shoots through the roof and then come 6am or 7am, it stabilises again.
Hi MWEB Guy, I'm also having the after 7pm dilemma down in Durbs. Any downloads or video streaming comes to a really slow speed.
There definitely have been slow downs last night, much more than usual. I've even had authentication issues.
HTTP downloads have been going at 70KB/sec flat but at times going down to 1-2KB/sec and even timing out completely. That's on a 4 meg line/account. Gmail has been timing out. Even MWEB website had problems loading.
Things seem to have gone back to normal for me. Good job.
This is starting to get annoying.
Every so often MWEB performance is disgusting. 40-50Kb/s download on a 2Mb Telkom line (MWEB account is 1Mb) is terrible.
Speed test is also showing +- 0.54 Mbs speeds.

Question - Is Mweb de-prioritizing gaming? Because, after 6pm or 7pm, latency shoots through the roof and then come 6am or 7am, it stabilises again.
browsing and downloading over the past week or so have become painfully slow. Gmail loads slowly. HTTP downloads at around 20-30kb/s max. have mailed mweb techies last night. 1mb uncapped account.
