speeds back to full again

Pretty convenient dont you think

sure they will say anything to keep the mob of them.

Yeah uhh errr our link on saturn went down sorry.

there we go! 7 o'clock and all of a sudden the network can't handle the demand again! we back to half speed! this dinamic shaping is a piece of BS. from 7 they shape, dinamic only controls the "amount" of shaping, but def shape to half line speed at best!!

Well half speed is better than no speed.

True, i do not mind it, only be up front about it. they keep saying dynamic this, dynamic that. i say they should have said, from 7am till 7pm there will be shaping the "amount" will be determined dynamically, but at no point should you expect full speeds, the norm then will be about quarter to half line speed depending on protocol.

Its interesting thou, lines where dead until 7am, then everything turns to normal, mm i wonder if they allocating all freespace to that dstv crap.

maybe, but i must say, at the mo i am getting ok speeds. average at about 205 but springs up to 300-330 every now and again.

My speeds are cr@p, When I go to bed at 10pm the account is still shaped, when I wake up in the morning 6am it is full speed, they obviously only stop shaping very very late.

I am leeching a UK site of about 5gb+ and is coming in at a solid 100kb/s - and that is the limit on the pond's side of things. When I start other HTTP traffic I go up to 430kb/s.
News servers run at between 50~80kb/s and torrents go up to 300kb/s if there are enough seeders. I have no idea what you guys are complaining about.

I did have similar issues last week but they were solved by making my router dial the connection instead of my adsl modem.

7:45p.m. and my mweb account is now http downloading internationally at 0.3mbps. WHAT? THAT'S DIAL-UP SPEED!! DIAL-UP!! I'm effectively paying R530/month for evening dial-up speeds. Doh.

<snip>

0.3mbps = dial-up speed? I wish that I had used your dial-up modem "back in the day"! 0.3mbps = 300kbps. The fastest modem I could ever find was 56.6kbps. Your modem would have been almost 6 times faster. Nice.

0.3mbps = 300kbps = 37.5KB/s on a 4meg line is VERY VERY SLOW!!

Fine, but not dial-up. Anyway, again, I can't complain regular HTTP is cruising at max... latencies still a problem though.

Actually, the conversion from byte to bit is divide by 10, not 8. While you do get 8 bits in a byte you need to take into account parity bits and other overheads so the conversions is normally just to divide bits per second by 10 to get bytes per second.

 

[Sensou]

Any news why we experiencing such unstable speeds atm?

 

[Lino]

Good grief HTTP downloads are so slow at the moment. WTF is going on tonight?
