MWEB Uncapped Subscribers Feedback

News server is also at less than half line speed. Downloading a game on Steam and it's going at 50KB/s.

 

[DurbanMonkey]

now i see what you mean about trying to compare.... 1.5gb in a day? sheesh, gimme 2 hours

yep that 50% is nasty

afrihost send a guy on forum with estimates, its about 1.5gb per day for 4mb package. over that you fall into the 50%.

I'm an MWEB 4mb Uncapped user in Durban. Have been a customer for just over two months now and have been very happy with the service, despite all the negative feedback I read in this thread.

This morning though, its completely borked.

This is my speedtest.net result.

First thing I did was check with a friend who is also in Durban on MWEB, and he is seeing similar performance. So that makes me think its not specific to my account, rather a general / regional problem with MWEB. Dialing up with WA or SAIX account proves the line is 100%.

Any comment from the official MWEB support chap here?

I have been having the same problem for week or 2 and they did nothing. Now I'm so glad the problem has started getting to this situation so that they can work on this. I'm sure they will sort this out.

Looks like everyone is having the same issue. I'd suggest checking the network status before posting about connection issues, more often than not it's a global/regional problem.

Durban Mweb 4mb uncapped user here as well.

Terrible p2p speed as of 2011 Jan. I used to be able to get 300kbps, now I'd be happy if I get anything over 10kbps.

Some serious throttling on torrents. gah : (

 

[SiDiA]

Well lets be honest... at the moment MWEB seems to have it more often than not...

At the moment everyone is having a speed problem,i suggest to check if your speed still sucks after the problem has been resolved.

 

[Rohan]

Hope it gets resolved soon. Struggeling to even send email.

 

[Spartaniz]

my connection keeps disconnecting. On axxesslite for now.

 

[Glipsie]

5 hours and counting ...

Mweb Guy: Any idea on when this will be fixed?

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Ok well browsing is a bit faster and downloads are almost back to normal but 300-500 ping on all servers is pretty meh
