Official Crystal Web ADSL performance feedback thread Part 2...

[DuckieZA]

So, after my rant over the weekend, I got a logon yesterday for the new network. Don’t know if the 2 things are connected

I'm not a gamer or big time streamer so did not test those last night, except for BBC iPlayer downloads over VPN which ran like a dream. I will test streaming from BBC tonight. Youtube much more consistent, no buffering seen on 720/1080.

Line maxed on single-threaded HTTP downloads yay!

Testing on testmy.net overnight consistently showing 5.xMbps on my 6Mbps line (after consistently showing < 700Kbps over the weekend). I will run a half-hourly test during the day tomorrow. MTR tests showed a lot less packet loss on international sites.

Interestingly, performance (opening links, etc) on the iTunes Store inside the iTunes app on Mac OS X is vastly improved, as are app downloads. Presumably the new network has better links to Akamai ...

Generally things appear much snappier on web pages and I noticed that some things (e.g. Tweetbot) seem more responsive on the iPhone over wifi.

So, so far so good I’m a much happier customer than I was over the weekend. Hopefully things remain good going forward.

Curse my live support visits. Every time a feedback mail pops up I think it's my new login details

It's rolling out in a planned manner - we're 50% of the way through, but it needs to be done properly or we could end up in crisis mode, and I've had enough of crisis mode for one lifetime.

Any special treatment for early adopters who have stuck it through the thick and thin??

Somewhat, yes.

How long for this migration to be completed for all users? Just curious to know when to expect everyone to be over looking at my missing "go forth and test" mail

I trust this is neither mtn or cmc network :erm:

Thank you, cancelling right now.

[Sinbad]

Anyone else seeing slower international speeds? I'm wondering if that DDoS is hurting things
