Ha, ever since this morning when myadsl went cookoo my iburst has been flying! This is the first time I've had good speeds all month. So it turns out that slim, ic etc are the real bandwidth hogs after all!

(its a joke, laugh)
 
Yeah, seems like iBurst is really fast with this forum dead... :D
Seldom less than 1030 kbps, even netlimiter shows peaks of 200 kB(yte)/s, although I doubt it...
International is bad however.

:D it must be true bcos my SWE2 box was unable to reconnect from 11:11:52..13:35:44 - I had to power off & on the UTD a few times - all with 5 signal strength leds...:(

I also had that reconnection problem. I disconnected and immediately tried to reconnect but it timed out while authenticating. I tried for quite a while and then just as I picked up the phone to call helpdesk (the dreaded last resort) it connected. I think their radius server was probably down for a bit. This really is a Friday the 13th. What's next! :eek:
 
I have had decent speeds since last night, even international is looking better at 70-80kB/s Just another 40kB/s more and I will be getting what I signed up for :)
 
Yep, my p2p was working last night again after being a dead stick since Monday

SA broadband = DHL package full of DVD-R
 
getting excellent speed here - best in weeks - what have they done and whatever they did please WBS don't break it.
 
I see the Uplink issue (09/05/05) has been marked as resolved (http://www.iburst.co.za/networkstatus2.php), to my knowledge it was not like this yesterday... maybe this is the reason for the sudden speed increase? It would make sense in my case since the past few days have been horrid for me.

I haven't been disconnected once today. Anybody been disconnected today? Let's hope they've resolved the problem.

Since last night more times than I can count to with all me fingirs & tozes...
 
Something's very wrong now. Their bandwidth manager's not working & I'm getting 100KB/s. F#ck it, it ain't my problem.

I'll download what I planned to download this weekend so call me a bandwidth hog but it ain't my fault!
 
i think only if you go to like 30GB on a 3Gb account they'll cut you off, don't ask me how I know, but trust me... I know
 
This is really starting to sound like the MyWireless thread :-


"K@k speeds today !"
"I'm flying along today !"
"Man, this is really **** !"
"It's the best damn service"

Ad infinitum.

I'd say the true test of whether a service is truly reliable would be a lack of activity on it's forum section ... :D
