nope getting [10:41:10] Level: ERROR MODULE=InterSocket, MSG=Error: Connection Failed, Host: news.mweb.co.za Error Code: 10060:1099

Something odd I just noticed, that may be relevant.

When I ping news.mweb.co.za I get IP address 196.43.2.61. A lookup on this IP address returns news.saix.net.

I wonder if SAIX are caching and/or redirecting calls to the mweb news server, to somehow make it appear faster?

Hi,

In response to the above questions regarding shaping and acceptable usage, here is MWEB's offical stance ...

Q: Will there be shaping of bandwidth?

Yes, shaping in the form of protocol prioritisation will be employed for those products mainly aimed at consumers, while those specifically aimed at businesses will not be shaped in any way (meaning all traffic will have equal preference).

So R100 from a consumer is worth less than R100 from a Business, never knew that.

Hi eyezonly,

1. No, there is no threshold (rolling or otherwise) or throttling on etiher the consumer (Connect) or Business Uncapped ADSL products.

2. Yes there is. The fee is R900 inc. VAT if one is within 50Km of the 3 major centres we operate from JHB, CPT & DBN, otherwise its R1500 inc. VAT. The fee includes on-site installation of the bundled router by a MWEB field engineer.

3. Yes all prices quoted are VAT inclusive.

4. Neither, all MWEB Uncapped ADSL products run on MWEB's own carrier-class backbone.

5. You may continue on a month-to-month basis after the initial 12 month contract period.

Is the "bundled router" hard-coded to work with MWEB only?

Hi I am Penguin,

Unfortunately at the moment we can only perform a line transfer from Telkom, this is a limitation of Telkom's system/process.

Thanks, I will speak (REVERT BACK) to TELKOM then.

@ Grammar NAZI"S FFS STOP HIJACKING EVERY THREAD WITH YOUR BS. If you do not like what you read, go read a dictionary! There are many on this forum with English as a second or filth (deliberate fifth) language. So F-off! Start another thread where you may discuss the English wrongs if you must. So grow up.

Have you ever considered weed? And for the record, as MWEB is a NATIONAL service, proper understanding of the international language for the country which is in this case english is required from its official liaison. So excuse me if such things bother or even scare me as it is quite a good window into how the general structure of the organization must me. And excuse me if I expect such obviously impossible levels of professionality from an organization I pay good money too for a service, but I forget i guess, this is africa after all.

You may "feel" while smoking your weed as YOU please!

This is a public forum with members of many nationalities and education levels, If you have to discuss anything else apart from the topic in question, like proper use of YOUR native "Language" then do it in private or another thread. Not in this one. Now get back to your "weed":p

Well mr. self important, I feel I need to point out that I dont care what language you or any other normal user has or how he uses it. An official representitive however needs to conform to higher standards. And...btw...english is not MY native language either smartass.

Point is, as far as I and many other forumites are concerned, revert has been used in the right context. You purport to be a master of the English language yet you're unable to string a paragraph together with any degree of eloquence.... Not only are you way off topic but your retorts are becoming increasingly annoying. Is it not time for you to get over yourself and move on??!!!
