MWEB Uncapped ADSL Feedback - Part 2

Status
Not open for further replies.
Getting the same here. Just loaded up a video, and immediate response with full line capacity.

The height of the shapping seems to come in around 8PM. Pretty blatant that it is happening on a schedule and not on actual usage.

Maybe the "schedule" is just congestion at that time ;)
 
Hi

I have checked your account and I see numerous disconnects on the line for today alone.
Seems as though the connection is not vry stable and that would certainly have an impact on your connection.

I would advise having a fault logged for you line so Telkom could perhaps check if there's any noise on the line.

We did have a problem on the line. Have had telkom out here. Had an intermittent adsl connection the last few days and noise on the phone line. All of which is now resolved.

Please advise what you can do to resolve the slow news server

Hi Mr Feesh

With regards to the news server which is free, we have no problems with it and 200kb/s is a good speed taking into account it is a contended service. We have been transparent about our news server being a best effort and that speeds are not guaranteed on it.
 
Strange issues this side, at the office... I have a feeling its exchange congestion. I have now tested with Mweb, Axxess and even WebAfrica and all are equally iffy...

I called Telkom, they said that everything was OK. I called Mweb support earlier too but murphey's law, everything ran 100% fine while on the phone. Pings/speed/traces everything... 10 minutes later everything back down to what is showing in the above..

:cry:

Hi Flidiot

The results you provided points to the exchange being congested. Telkom will need to sort it out from their side. I suggest providing them with the traceroutes as well.

I thought that was the case... Don't usually like to point fingers at Telkom, but...Ok I am lying, I love to blame them. Just wanted to give them benefit of the doubt this time :erm:

Thanks for confirming MWEB Guy!

I understand that speeds are not guaranteed but can you confirm if any other users are experiencing slower speeds.
 
@mr mweb guy

I just DCed using mweb from diablo 3...

it is not nice.
it makes real life rage.

Hi Mr Feesh
Has speeds improved when connecting to the news server?

Hi Pr⊕phet

I checked on our side and the current session is still active, the connection didn't drop on our side.
 
Hi Pr⊕phet

I checked on our side and the current session is still active, the connection didn't drop on our side.

That's because I just reconnected. Getting PRTG now to monitor it, this is the second time it happens... I really suggest your gaming guy or whatever starts checking this out. It is already a huge issue over at AH and I pray mweb isn't going that route. Going to slit something...

Provide me with a trace route and ping test to that site and I will escalate this matter to our specialists

So here we are again. No feedback on my request of yesterday.
Access to 4shared.com was up later the night. Tonite i have the same issue, not accessible but possible via web-proxy.

So I assume the, "send me your stats so our specialists can look at it" is basically a tongue-in-cheek response while/during manipulation of access for periods...........

Let me give it the benefit of the doubt.

MwebGuy, please have a look. I cannot access 4shared.com while it is possible via web proxy. I again asked another Mweb user and he confirms the same...

Should I provide a ping and traceroute?

Regards
Mortiiy
