Hey Guys,

Since the last week I have been experiencing very slow speeds most of the day. Any one else having the same problem?

Constantia Park area.
 
Slow Speed

Hey guys,
Over the past week or so my speeds have been rather slow, torrents and NZB's dont seem to go over 90kB/s. HTTP traffic also seems to be rather slow.

Tracing route to mweb.co.za [196.2.63.110]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 8 ms 8 ms 9 ms 41-132-16-1.dsl.mweb.co.za [41.132.16.1]

7 108 ms 87 ms 108 ms www.mweb.co.za [196.2.63.110]

Trace complete.



My connection also seems to randomly drop, I do not lose sync but I cannot connect to my account until I restart the router :/
 
Seems my case is different. I tried doing speedtest and line seemed fine. Techie told me its probably a program slowing my internet so i tried disabling ESET Smart Security, and wala internet was up to speed. Will try disabling the ESET firewall and see how things go

I have a Webafrica account 4mb/s 20gig, and thinking a bout changing over to Mweb Uncapped.
But reading this thread, im starting to wonder if its worth it.
Web Africa have stopped just about all p2p downloads during office hours which is not a train smash.
But it sounds to me that mweb uncapped is slow all the time, or at best inconsistent.

Im in PE, most of my heavy downloading is with with the likes of Rapidshare.
Can anyone tell me if its worth changing to uncapped?
 
Flanjet - I recon its luck of the draw - some guys get great speeds, some don't.
 
thaks for the awesome speeds mweb, http flies in the day, torrents blaze at night :D

Hi qwiksilver. I believe this offer from Afrihost is unshaped, have you any latency problems with them or somewhat shaping of torrents? Am thinking of moving with the hope that i wont be throttled and will get my 4mbs speed at all times.
 
left a torrent running this morning at 380kbs, when i got home just now it was still going at 145kbs, nice for a shaped account.

mweb uncapped ftw
 
What speed do the 384 guys get on torrents during the day? Mine runs at around 2kb/s, if I download 40mb from 8am to 5pm its a lot
My speeds only increase to 15+kb/s after 10pm

I understand its shaped during the day, but 4% of your line speed is throttled to say the least

I'm pretty much ontop of you area wise :P getting good speeds with decent seeded torrents. Erratic though.

Stop flooding my exchange ;)

Other downloads during the day are good, but torrents hopeless. For example at 7pm they had gone up to around 4 to 5kb/s. Switch my Vodacom router on & was 100kb/s + in a minute. Oh well
 
even after 12

Ah! So you have a 4mb line?

Here is a bit of data from last night's torrenting.

*sigh* After about four or five emails, I STILL haven't heard anything from MWEB about sorting out my ridiculously slow "4 meg" line. It's more like dial up at the moment!

This little gem was sent to me via email: "Please be informed that we have forwarded your query to the department that is dealing with your query."

So... you are going to send me query to the people that are... dealing with it? How are they dealing with it if you haven't sent it? *headdesk*

Almost three weeks, that's how long I've been waiting for my connection to be fixed. And I'm getting VERY annoyed.
