Hi Bar_Rat,
Shaped account speeds are never guaranteed, these account speeds as you know it, fluctuate. Especially when there is maintenance happening.

imho it's largely dependant on how many monkeys is in your tree at your location. Suppose I'm about the only fool on the exchange with adsl as I don't have any congestion issues and so far it's been really good month with mweb as with previous ones except of course seacom outages. I'll take good bet that telkom uncap is going to futher fuber the congestion as they went with copper initially instead of going early with fiber. At least with mweb I don't have to reset my router all the time or change backbones when the account gets used too much...Well, changed to another service provider, and teh grass sure ain't greener on the other side.![]()
Is this maintenance from Mweb or still Seacom? How long will it last?

Hi copacetic,
Did you at least advise them on how to install an irrigation system?

That's their job, not mine.
Seriously though, my foray into the world of other ISP's has made me realize that MWEB are doing a pretty good job of things.
Should I ever be able to afford a 1 meg line from you guys, I'll be back probably.
No, it's MWEB. They are just a very slow ISP. I have proved this, time and time again, simply by switching between ISPs. I demonstrated it to MWEB tech support. The guy then explained how their products work. You can phone them and ask.So I assume most of these complains can be attributed to the overloaded exchanges.

I mean, ask them to explain why it's slow. Apparently that's just normal for the package that I'm on (4Mb shapped uncapped).
Phew, thanks MWEB, glad Blizzcon is streaming fine. "500kbps" quality, 1Mbit account.

It does not matter. I'm just with the wrong ISP. I'll change to someone else, at some point in the future.Have you sent a PM to the MWEB Rep. here regarding this?
