Haha. I just remembered I have a free Afrihost account and guess what? Plays fine. Actually plays better than fine. Looks like 720p.

I was nice while it lasted..

My astraweb connections are dead again.. cant connect. I had astraweb for about 2 hours.

Here I though mweb was sorting out this problem. The web is crawling again..
 
Hey Mweb Guy, when Telkom did the rollout of upgrading clients on 512K to 1MB, did they drop the 4MB clients to 512K?Sarcasm I know, but it sure feels like it. M-Web's network in Durban is certainly stuffed !!! So frustrated.
 
I'm now downloading Linux updates* (from international sites), which are coming down at line speed on my 384kbps line.

For most of the afternoon, I was lucky to get 15kB/s on HTTP downloads of MP3 podcasts from various (international) sites.

It's difficult to understand how this cannot be evidence of more aggressive HTTP shaping by MWEB... :confused:

*This means actual Linux updates, not "Linux updates" or "Linux ISOs" :)

Yeah when I download the vids off gametrailers I get 200kB/s yet if I try stream (off any site) I get 15-30kB/s and constant buffering.
 
Bandwidth Shedding?

"The Internet" must be busy because my Linux updates which were running at line speed are now fluctuating between 10kB/s and line speed. Up, then down, then up, then down. There is something wrong with the plumbing.

Even accessing MyBB is getting laggy. Guess it's my suburb's turn on the "bandwidth shedding" schedule :wtf:

Somethings going on... MWEB has vanished; they keeping clear of here while they fiddle again. Still no G-Mail for me. Youtube? What a joke.

Yeah, something's not right. We all know shaped accounts are shaped and we can discuss the shaping and AUP and T&C, etc.

However, when normal HTTP downloads and browsing -- the (only?) protocols left unshaped -- start to crawl and fluctuate and become unreliable, then I start to lose my sense of humour.
 
Maybe the new shaping rules puts porn in the best position leaving everything else on a limp :D

Deep Packet Inspection certainly takes care of that :)

What the hell has been going on with MWeb the past two weeks, things have been ridiculously slow the past couple of days. Please stop shaping the crap out of our connections.. Just put everything back to how it was..
Or it looks like you will start to loose customers eventually...
Please... I was really enjoying my speeds, but now I cant stream or download anything at a reasonable speed...
