Im on the 4mb uncapped, which is shaped. But i assume port 80 is given priority over other ports?

all email, http (browsing) and gaming are examples of traffic that is given a high priority on our network.

What about VOIP? I use Skype video weekly, and need to be certain I will get good connection?
I'm testing Mweb, WA and Afrihost uncapped accounts at the moment (1meg line).

Thanks already got a test account. VOIP worked fine when I used it last, I was more curious about if it was prioritised.
I'd probably got a bit upset if I can't VOIP one evening due to shaping.

I knew you'd say that. Either way, I've been impressed with the trial, it just seems to be a faster/smooter experience compared to the other providers (similar priced) for browsing, gaming and voip.

There is another problem, it's on their notice board.

What do you think Telkom has against us? :(

Evening OrbitalDawn, if you would like me to enable the sms notification for you; please provide me your MWEB account details via direct message.
 
Have anyone noticed this? I am on uncapped 4Mbps Shaped Account and after 40GB of download Mweb switched my public dyn-ip from 197.xx.xx.xx to 41.xx.xx.xx and now my internet is slow. Can't even stream 720p Youtube videos.

Good evening, the IP's are automatically assigned and should not impact on your experience. Please send me your MWEB account details via direct message.

Edit: they are not assisgned by the amount of data you have used; it changes e.g. when you break your connection (reboot your router)... :)
