MWEB Uncapped ADSL - Official Q & A

Status
Not open for further replies.
I think M-Web was not prepared for the new months signups so everyone is suffering .Constantly got speeds of 430KB/s on axxess express +,but only getting between 40 and 50KB/s after hours.Sometimes late at night at 0100 getting very eratic speeds of 80 to 100KB/s.So i am sticking around for now to see if they can fix the problem.Getting 20 to 30KB/s during the day which is the way axxess throttled their express + accounts.
 
Getting horrible speeds at the moment on 384kps connection, timeout from everything over and over.

Is something wrong again? Before the seacom problem I was enjoying mweb. Not so much anymore since its been fixed.
 
Dear MWB / Ops

I am now officially complaining, the speeds rendered for non-priority protocols during peak times are really, really bad. On average, I can expect 25Kb/s on a 4Meg line during peak times. Surely there is a threshold or a minimum allowed speed on these non-priority protocols? I mean 25Kb/s is less than 7% of my purchased speed. I am not a happy camper. Also, YouTube has been horrific in the past week or so and (I shall assume its on the "allowed" list for the shaper), I suspect it has something to do with the terrible latency on hops 3 and 4 on my tracert. Is 180ms acceptable for the local hops?!

Please, I am not discussing... this is the Q & A thread, I am the Q, you are the A.

Any idea as to why speedtest locates me as 450 miles away from Cape town? Says im near Kimberly or somewhere like that

IP blocks are assigned to a country, and Kimberley just happens to be in the 'middle' of South Africa geographically, so it really means nothing! Sometimes an IP can be related to a specific city, but yours probably cant...
 
I read these complaints and I wonder to myself why my speeds are still fine. Yes, I am only on a 384k line but I see those people complaining too.

No it was only for the 1st 1000 people who put their names down on the first day
 
On my way home today I heard an MWEB radio ad...

A woman waffling on about some TV show... "And then you get capped..." "...and now I'll never be able to find out what happened."

I am in the same boat, but on uncapped. Before I finish downloading the TV show at 8 kb/s the show will long have been off air.

Its weird, I have about 5 going at the moment and the one has been on 270kb/s while the others are so-so making it a total of 300kb/s. Maybe just good seeders.
