I got upgraded to 1 meg on Friday and loving it. Currently downloading a torrent at 90KB/s :D Thanks Mweb!

However, I am interested to see how much deterioration I get during the week.
 
MWEB Guy,

I guess Mweb has now decided to totally limit and non prioritize any NNTP traffic to any kind of international Usenet severs including your own servers.

Running at a nice 2kb 24/7 for the last week.

Thanks

Most of the regular NNTP posters here have noted NNTP flying this weekend. Right now i'm averaging 350KB/s , for the first time in over a month it's working as it use too....

Nope, they do not. There may be many reasons influencing your connection. Recently there was many problems and issues, that seems to be improving but NNTP is still a grey area is seems.
 
To me it looks like we have to take turns on playing online. one day me one day my friend can play. Is this how the new shaping policy works. LOL

That is the "cycle" thing I was referring to when I had grave issues recently. Now its better and I have done nothing but since yesterday that shaping cycling are back again.
 
Hmmm, Webafrica account flying full speed, Mweb dead...

Nice is that a uncapped account or what. Maybe I should just drop my mweb and go for the webafrica accounts or even Telkom is better at this stage. I think Telkom is giving us outstanding service. It's just MWEB thats cause them a lot of troubles and even the technician that was here when I told him I was with MWEB he was not very happy to hear that. he was like ja MWEB again. they are giving us a lot of troubles and he was on his way. Like I said before if mweb just fix there issues the internet in south africa will be growing like so fast. You won't be able to keep up.

anyone knows how good the openweb gold accounts are?

My NNTP is still between 0-7kb/s during "office" hours on WEEKENDS. Clearly the problem is not fixed. A switch to Telkom yields full line speed.
 
Every time I think of switching to MWeb I see stuff like this. Geez it's either caps or crap performance and I don't know which to choose :(
 
MWEB is in such a hurry to get your clients up to 1mb but what about gaming. I would like an account that is optimized forgaming.
 
In case this helps solve anyone's issues with the CT news.mweb.co.za: try flush the dns cache and make sure your client is using the MWEB DNS servers. NNTP on that server now at full tilt for me.

Hmm, forgot about that one! Thanks.
 
Unable to log in to Black Ops again guys. Not sure what is changing???
Please can you get someone to check out whether it just Mweb in Howick, as my Telkom connection still connects fine.
 
Mine also not connecting. Please I'm begging you guys fix it. Gaming is nr1 priority here
 
Tried to log on mweb. Connected to news.mweb.co.za on a cached item. 20-22kb/s at 7pm on a sunday, come one, i understand business time shaping but 7pm sunday? It was always good during the weekend. Now stuff is being shaped during the weekend too. :(

Will / Mweb Guy whats up? U 2 know its not my line or even the routing or w/e because mweb unshaped goes full speed. So I would just like to know why I am getting half speed Sunday evening. I am pretty sure that the network load isnt that huge compared to business hours during the week.
