im getting full speeds on http, the issue sorted? i dont think mine ever went down/slow...
 
ooops-- why did I open my mouth-- my download speed has virtually gone sub zero now! Here I thought things were coming right at last.

I am ever hopeful!! Today for the first time in weeks my download speed has on the whole been acceptable. A bit erratic, this morning was a nightmare but this afternoon has been okay-- I am just hoping this is the end of the frustration. Changing ISPs is not really the route I want to go down after 16+ years. It would take me out of my comfort zone :)

hehe... 1.2Gbps will be enough for about 7500 x 4Mb users (300 x expected contention ratio of 25). Ofcourse, here it's probably liketo be be double that.

They're probably running at closer to a 40-60 contention ratio. 25 is quite low for intl. bandwidth.
 
lol I feel like I have time travelled back to the days of the blistering 56k speeds. Can't wait for this to be sorted, 512 (or anything close to it) will feel like light speed :)

ETA for my download: 15d 5h 34m 25s for a 1.5 gig file :D

My connection was flying this evening - 400KBs+ on newsgroups - crawling last night at 50KBs - MWEB should rename the account to MWEB YoYo account.
 
Mweb is no go for gaming tonight. Downloads, just as bad. At least they are staying consistent.
 
Why the friggen hell is my internet so slow! I cannot even stream from youtube without it buffering every 2 seconds! Everything was going smoothly but now everythings broken. MWEB please fix this.
 
Im starting to lose my faith with MWEB. MWEB better finish their upgrades ASAP and make sure their upgrades make things FASTER not slower!
 
Ah. It's "good" to see I'm not the only one having problems. Eish, like necr0mancer said, it was going so well. My connection has been iffy since the weekend. :(
 
Yes, Mweb seem to have some sort of OCD problem, they keep breaking the interwebz when it works perfectly!
 
Just a quick word from a 384 user - if you think your 4Mb connection is slow, my current 230Mb DL on FDM says 50 hours 30 mins to completion... (0,5Kb/s)
oh wait, it's just stopped:confused:

At 11PM current (uTorrent) speed is 5Kb/s, as it has been since 5pm.

Everything that is not general web browsing is grinding to a halt.
 
Had a problem with MWeb connection, called their tech department yesterday, was put on with some dude who had no idea of the difference between http and news server downloads, though to his credit, he did admit that it was out of his depth. I asked for a more knowledgeable technician, but was told that they were all busy, but if I left a number, they would DEFINITELY get back to me. Then called today, was told that yes, there was a note to be called on my account, that it would happen today DEFINITELY. Still no call.
 
Mweb newsservers are useless. this uncapped thing is nothing but useless now. same that happened with the other guys. Digichilli also had uncapped and was really good but now they are crap. Afrihost uncapped was good but now crap. screamer uncapped adsl was good but now also crap.

This is what is happening to MWEB. Uncapped was good but now it's very bad. they must fix there issues. internet solutions uncapped business is the only way to go. I'm getting 50KB/s 24/7 and been getting that speeds since 2 years ago o and that's on a 512KB/s business uncapped solutions. It's a bit expensive but at least i'm getting my full speed all the time and latency are very good.

I suggest going with that solution if you are a couple of people sharing a connection.
