MWEB Uncapped ADSL Feedback - Part 2

Status
Not open for further replies.
Yeah, also in KZN and having issues with mweb. But MWEBguy is helping me out investigating it all. Everything is usable, but just not quite right for gaming etc.
 
Cancelling when I get home. Paying for internet but can only surf local sites. Phone data going to be high this month.
 
What sort of shaping do you guys get and also what is acceptable when it comes to shaping from Mweb's side? Currently I'm downloading an NZB at 70KB constant on a 4MB Uncapped line, it's been like this all week. If I switch it to SSL it shoots up to 420KB and stays there, but obviously this is against "terms of service" so I turn it off. At 1am it seems to fly at around 430KB all night till the morning. Is this acceptable shaping or should I move? Also gaming from 6pm - 11pm is horrible :( I'm in Durban too.

My gaming during that time also suffers with ping randomly shooting right up. Always fixes itself, but as a whole seems to be ok most of the time

I'm fairly happy with the downloading side of things, yes it pees me off that if I need something at 11pm I cannot get it at full line speed because it's throttled to hell and gone but I manage to get my moneys worth per month I think. The gaming hassles we're getting and it seems to mostly be us Durban guys, is what is really ticking me off though.

I'd wager that there is more to the gaming story that we've been told. I had issues since Sunday, will see of portreset takes it away...

+1, had a similiar problem I was getting 130-200kbps download speeds yesterday and according to mweb guy 200kbps is more then acceptable on a 4mb line. :erm: sounds like a poor excuse to me

Well if this is the case, then downgrading looks like an option. Why pay for 4 and get half or less?
 
trying to download on usenet and getting 120kb/s on a 4meg line, shouldnt i be getting 350+ atleast?
