MWEB Uncapped ADSL Feedback - Part 3

For the last 2 days my international online gaming has been impossible. Speed tests et all test as normal, just no connection to gaming servers work. We had the same issue a couple of months ago, complained, and it got "fixed". Broken again now.

Morning Drifter, we have no confirmed gaming issues at the moment.

Please let me know if its exactly the same problem?

Has anybody else been experiencing poor speeds on Steam as of late? Even after 12 am?

My Telkom account is at full speed, no issues, 100% stable. But Mweb account speeds are constantly fluctuating when trying to download anything on Steam. I can no longer watch a Steam broadcast without constant buffering/freezes even on the lowest quality, yet just 2 weeks ago, I could watch in 720p without a single stutter..

Hi, I am not aware of issues with steam on our side.

Tell me is it with steam that you are noticing this ?

Yup. Steam only from what I can tell. Only other thing I've been doing is browsing websites and watching Youtube. Naturally not watching Youtube while Steam downloads/watching a broadcast :p
 
I've picked up a high latency with Battlenet since yesterday, and my torrents are dog slow. All looks good when I check my account, i.e. nothing is throttled. Switching to my AH account I get much better performance.

Strange because I am having the same problems the other way around, Afrihost is bad Mweb is good.

What's your gaming experience like with Torrents disabled?

I generally have one or the other running, never the same time. Latency when gaming is usually around 200-220ms, shot up to 700+ since yesterday.
Seems erratic though.
