MWEB Uncapped ADSL Feedback - Part 3

The free international one works fine, just hangs when trying to connect to the Mweb servers. Exactly the same issue as that about 2 or 3 weeks back.

I had a similar issue a week or two back, but I could never connect since then...

Hi mephisto_Helix, we have tested and we are able to connect to and download from the news servers

Now you have TWO people who say "it does not work for me even though other news servers are working"

This is what SABnzbd says : "(10061, "Failed to connect: (10060, 'timed out') [email protected]:119")"
 
Hi

Are you still having trouble with the DNS servers.
Have you checked that the DNS on set to auto on the both the router and the device you using to connect from?

I haven't had a chance to test again but all devices are set to auto including the router(Fon router). Its strange as I can't browse from any device when it is set to auto but if I manually set the google public dns I can .
 
Hi guys, been with OW for long and they can not get the lag sorted out in online games. My line speeds are perfect at 4mb and my pings are great I just have massive lag spikes in games.

Some guys say MWEB is for gamers is this the case? I do not do ANY DL,I do however work from home so my line is used for Work (emails), games and youtube. What will a good product be and is it possible for a trail 24hr trail?

Thing is OW shaped my during the day and then I can barely open websites and youtube is a no-go in the days....wasn't always like this.

Many thanks guys.

From experience with both OW and MWEB, I can say that MWEB is less laggy than OW. Have done both, got the T shirts, and find same with OW, but only during daytime. After hours generally - they are much of a muchness. This experience with Assasins Creed, DAYZ and Call of Duty.
 
Hi, I just received my FON router today, set it up with my credentials, but there is no FON network. Did I do something wrong? Is it broken? Ideas?

That is strange. Can you try hard reseting the router and let it auto configure.
 
I'll try it and see what happens and reply back afterwards.

EDIT: I had the router reset its settings and auto configure again, the FON network still won't show up. According to my father he saw the FON network up, before I went to change the WiFi SSID(First setup) and password. I did the reset while logged into the router, I believe this is a hard reset.

It does ask me to confirm details by rerouting to an MWEB site where you have to confirm your details, might this be part of the problem?

EDIT 2: Nvm, looks like I did a soft reset, will do a hard reset and report back.

EDIT 3: Did a hard reset, it configured and everything and still no FON network, does it initialize immediately or does it take a bit? Might it be a hardware problem or that FON has not been activated on our account?

Hi Armgame.

Currently if you change the SSID on the router then that will cause the Fon signal not to be sent out and can cause interference with the Wifi.

We are looking into this currently to find a solution. As soon as we do will inform everyone

Okay not getting much help here. I tried calling the tech support line on 087 700 0777. Get a message the number you have dialled does not exist. Can anybody help with the correct number?
