True story

I am running off a 384kbps line off Mweb, if I'm lucky I get speeds of about 5kbps on peer to peer download, modem portforwarding etc is setup up properly, does anyone have any advice? My gmail is exceptionally slow too as is most other browsing.

 

[Gtx Gaming]

provide something likes speedtest.net to see if you get your max line speed.

5kbs sounds right during day for a 384

 

[Will@MWEB]

Yes a speedtest check would be helpful. You could also disable protected access on your account as this can sometimes interfere with incoming P2P connections. You can do this yourself via the myaccount interface on the mweb site, or you could PM MWEB Guy your username and he'll do it for you.

Having the same problem with my uncapped unshaped 384 account.

Durban, Amanzimtoti is falling over cant get the line to stay above the 20

Full speed from rapidshare, but news servers are running at 5kbps (both Mweb and Astraweb) on my 384 shaped account. Shaping seems to be turned around the last couple of days.

My news server is back to normal. Thanks for commenting on that MWEB. Not...

I don't believe it! My uTorrent RSS feed is finished! This is cause for celebration! Shot MWEB!

I am getting an erratic ping in WoW since 4.1
I have tried disabling the new network optimize feature too.

Edit: Actually it seems it's not just WoW. Also getting some packet loss.

Hi Soulcode,

What are the pings you are getting on WoW? Please PM me your results and I will look into it from my side.

The past 2 months I've done some serious downloading and this month has been another record month.

Big up to Mweb - I'm lovin it! Def worth every cent.

Slow HTTP Downloads Today

Are there speed issues with normal HTTP downloading today? These always run reliably at ~38kBps on my 384kbps shaped line. Today I'm lucky to get 30kBps.

I noticed it first when I was running some Ubuntu updates from the local mirror. I then tried pulling an ISO from a local mirror and an international site. All slow. They would all usually run at maximum line speed. Ideas?

Power-cycled the router. No difference. Lucky to get 30kBps on Ubuntu updates from local mirror.

Seems that magic dip happened again ....... that's probably why you have lower speed. My news server is going half speed again, no biggy for me but obviously a biggy for the 384 users

Yeah, ~30kBps on a 384kbps line means I'm only getting around 75 - 80% of my maximum line speed, and on 384, you need everything you can get

How long do these magical dips last? :wtf:

For HTTP Ubuntu updates from a local mirror that really sucks (For the record, I was doing a little light browsing for a few minutes during the download, but that's all). Seriously sucky. What's up with this MWEB? This always runs at ~38kB/s.

Hi SabreWolfy,

I will look into this from our side and provide you with feedback as soon as possible.

@MWEB: Thanks.

I completed the Ubuntu upgrade and restarted the machine. ISO downloads still only peaking at 30kBps. I then realized that the latest release of Ubuntu is out today and possibly the local and international servers were under load. I've just tried pulling down a Fedora ISO instead as a test. Still only peaking at 30kBps so it's not related to server load at Ubuntu sites. The speed of downloads is also jumping around. It goes to 11kBps, then 20, then 27, then 30, then 14, then 20, etc. Never seen that before either.
