MWEB Uncapped Subscribers Feedback

[straatkat]

I think they let the SAIX network capacity go before they added more Seacom, leaving them with little to no room for their non-priority networks. Result, everything slow, unless you are on their more expensive networks. Little to no point to keep on forking this amount of money for 4mbps for speeds that I saw on my 384 connection. Can rather pay Openweb that money for their Gold uncapped or unshapped.

Net result will be the same amount of downloads in a month...

It is a pity though, I really hoped they can make it work.

Ok so how do we go about terminating the service with MWEB, anyone have details, number etc?

Who would be the best to go through for uncapped 4MB?

Getting really slow speeds from the Mweb news server - anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: Only noticed now the complaints on previous pages. that sucks...

 

[Adrenalin]

Mweb might as well kick me in the nads, it will hurt less than living with these really crap speeds.

I don't think you've ever been kicked in the nads hard enough then and felt the real pain of it.

The connection does seem a thousand times better than before - HTTP is full speed and torrents go up beyond 200kb/s. But I'm not breaking out the champers just yet - lets see if it lasts. Perhaps there is a chance that you have redeemed yourself and I may live to yet again sing praise to Mweb. Just keep up my fast connection.

This connection is still up and running, HTTP is full speed and the shaped services (P2P) are acceptable after hours. I am a happy Mweb user once more and I can live with the problems of Friday and Saturday. Thanks for making your network better and good luck with the initial problems.

At the moment it is very slow for me,crawling at only 200b/s.

You have to give them a calander month's notice of termination, ie: from the 1st to the 31st of the month. This has to be in writing too. I handed mine in at the end of last month as I'm so sick of the slowness of their service. of course it's another matter altogether to see if they stop deducting the monthly debit order!

Anyone know when the extra 1.2Gbps of bandwidth is going in?

And another good question is, will it help MWEB / affect MWEB users AT ALL?!?

If it doesn't then there's-a-gonna be a serious mob lynching. I can't believe all the people that are having issues and Mweb's lack of response in dealing with the problem. Yes - it is a problem!

lol what are you complaining about, my NNTP traffic runs at an average of 2.4 kBps...

We expect the upgrades to be completed by the end of this week and that includes the extra 1.2Gbps of bandwidth.

 

[Naks]

We expect the upgrades to be completed by the end of this week and that includes the extra 1.2Gbps of bandwidth.

So if we bear with this until the end of the week, will the traffic from news.mweb.co.za return to 'normal', i.e., around 400Kbps on a 4MB line?

Thanks boet.

200 b/s is alot less that 2.4kBps

 

[MFour]

200 b/s is alot less that 2.4kBps

oops I apologise, misread that one

 

[Rouxenator]

Why back in the last millennium my 33.6kbps modem broke and I had to use my ancient 2400bps modem for a while. Surfing the intenet at 200 bytes per second was not fun.

Thats the million dollar question!

 

[SSung]

I like to imagine that a rogue baboon is trapped in MWEB's shaping or network control room; randomly pulling levers and pushing buttons...might explain a bit...
