Mweb in yo-yo mode at present...
Hi cybershark
What exactly is in yo-yo mode on your side?
Connect-Disconnect X infinity
my speeds are very low...it wont even get pass the download test on speedtest.net![]()
Hi matrixweb
Have you tried rebooting your router?
yup , restarted it 4 times so far , nothings changed , line syncs normal but the speeds are just very bad
Hi All
I am back... Telkom finally moved my line after I moved, Mweb Guy will it be possible to check the line stats to see if it is fine on ur side ?

Speeds have been very very bad recently.
Completely open to the problem not being MWEB related, but there is something seriously amiss.
4 meg account, line syncing at 5....
General browsing and torrents have been utterly abysmal for the past week or so.
if it is indeed an MWEB issue, I sure am not willing to pay R530 a month for this.

But also still having sub-par streaming issues.
I'm absolutely convinced there is throttling on a per-connection basis, as when I use a download manager (multiple connections per file) I can max out my line, but single connections hardly ever exceed 200KB/s.
Good Day nihilist, we definitely don't throttle; that I can assure you.
When you refer to single connections, what type of downloads are you running?
HTTP.
wget http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd...hdd/debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-gnome-desktop.img
~100KB/s average (starts off at 200KB/s settles down to 80-120KB/s)
wget http://mintlinux.mirror.triple-it.nl/iso//stable/14/linuxmint-14.1-mate-dvd-64bit.iso
same performance as above, settles down to 100KB/s
wget http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/linuxmint//stable/14/linuxmint-14.1-mate-dvd-64bit.iso
~22KB/s
wget ftp://ftp.is.co.za/mirror/linuxmint.com/iso//stable/14/linuxmint-14.1-mate-dvd-64bit.iso
^ From Internet Solutions hosting
~300-350KB/s
wget http://mint.xfree.com.ar//stable/14/linuxmint-14.1-mate-dvd-64bit.iso
~60-120 KB/s
wget ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ls-lR.gz
~200KB/s
Nothing really going on my line atm, else I'd not be getting blazing speeds locally, but as you can see, in general, international http is pretty sub-par.
What type of speeds are you getting on news?
Please also provide me netstat -a -b results.
Haven't used NEWS much lately, but just fired up something to test, 400KB/s from Astraweb.
Not posting my netstat results but I can confirm there's nothing eating bandwidth.
What my data shows though, is that I can get full line speed but the performance on http is not totally reliable at times, and remember I still have that pending complaint re Youtube performance.
