Mweb

right-click on your bar, task manager, resource monitor, click on network, check how much you send verse what you're download speed is.

my bet is it's a virus or some background torrenting service running (I installed League of Legends the other day and it murdered my 1mb line because of PandaBoost)
 
Do yourself a favour, log in to your router to check if you have any logs of traffic. Also make sure you lock down your WiFi, i.e change router password, WiFi password and if possible only allow your known devices on to it. Hell, even change your WiFi Name and turn off the broadcasting of it. That should be pretty sufficient to shutdown any neighbourhood piggy backers. I don't know what the capabilities of something like Backtrack is but I am pretty sure that locking your WiFi down tightly would be a good start.
 
Well you account should be locked to your line? Max potential if you push flat out on your 4meg line is just under 40GB/day

So with your 20GB per day you're pushing max for 12hrs or half speed for 24 hours.. My mweb has also been pretty slow the last couple days, not sure if its related, back to normal now though. Yesterday i changed my router login, wifi passwords etc just to make 100% sure no-one was eating my internet!

There are odd days where i do 20GB and then other days when i do under 1GB, also dont bypass any shaping downloads dont download anywhere between 8am and 5pm, so it strictly after hours!

Anyhow finished rambling, maybe do the whole pass change etc! kill all other connections to your router by plugging in only your lan cable to your pc and turn of wifi, test it out and see if it improves... Good luck hope it resolves!
 
Hi,

Since last Tuesday my P2P downloads have really been suffering. Wed -> Saturday was fine, then this week its none existent. I am on a 4mbps uncapped and have really never had an shaping/throttling etc issues before.

I have even restored to change my change my torrent client to see if it was was settings issue but that hasn't helped. I have logged into my mweb account and currently sitting on 42gb for the month. Avg usage is around 200gb.

@mweb_guy, any assistance here? Really frustrating considering I have had amazing service for the past ~2years with you guys.

Hi soldierboi

Please let me know if you still having trouble with your speeds and if it's only your torrents that slow.
Also I need to point out that p2p speeds are not guaranteed and will flucuate as it receives the lowest priority on our network.

Yes it is only torrents that are slow. Http is fine, and thats great, but what I suspect is there could have been new policies deployed around p2p which has affected "us" downstream. I used to be able to load my torrents and begin them from 7pm during the week and be getting decent speeds until 7-8am, and then on weekends it was flying. Now its just limited all the time. Inconsistent torrent start/stops. I will continue to monitor for the remainder of the week and make a decision thereafter.

PS: Thanks for getting back to me.
 
Hi,

So after a few days I am still getting no luck with my P2P. I have also heard that Gaming has now been super prioritized on the mweb network. It is quite frustrating since I have been so use to a certain kind of service, of which is non-existent. Really displeasing, since I have been a customer for such a long time.

Hi soldierbooi

Seeing that you download torrents, have you considered using news server to download your content. I sent you a PM regarding news server, have a look at it as an alternative.
 
Hi mwebguy

I have an mweb account, please give me more info about using news servers as well

Thanks
 
Hi,

Cant seem to access the article - something about a plugin needing to be installed?

Anyway, its 9:43, usually my downloads would be happily coming along, now nothing is happening. Might has well uninstall all my clients and just chill and troll forums.

Sure my browsing is great but the intention was never to get the uncapped for pure browsing or gaming. I never abused the system , yet now I have to feel the "brant" for prioritization. I just don't have time or energy to deal with this before my vacation. I will leave it for now and make a better more informed decision after my break.

Thanks MWEB!!

I'm not sure why you can't see the article, have you tried another browser to view it. It is a MyBB article, that is why I'm not sure if it is working.

Please can you monitor and keep me posted.

I appreciate the super fast response, and will try again in another browser. Will keep you posted.

I'm sure you understand my frustration, from a service consistency PoV.
