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

[Paul Hjul]

NNTP running at 30KB/s...

/prods with stick

Time to go sleep, hopefully it speeds up a bit

is it a well seeded linux distro?
also which part of the world

Gaming performance is excellent

 

[Superjakes]

I have been getting incomplete downloads via the news server from last night. Anybody else having the same issue? Is there a known problem surrounding this?

Doesn't have to be well seeded over nntp? The Distro downloads directly from a server with nntp?

Anyone else having issues? My account connects but there's no traffic. Connect through AH atm.

UPDATE: Switched to Google DNS and it's fine.

I seem to be having an issue with dns as well this morning, it is temporary though. I open the page and it does not resolve, then when I reload it resolves the page. I checked dns and it is pointing to IS.

 

[sand_man]

IS?

Use openDNS ip address.

OpenDNS IP Addresses
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

will give it a shot.

Also had some "could not complete" and a couple of missing blocks, but not sure if it is abnormal in my case. The content is a bit older.

My account is still running well though.
I either missed the dns issues or are not experiencing it.

Hi all, my internet has been down since yesterday morning. They couldn't help me resolve the issue at crystalweb support so am hoping you guys could help. I switched over to the new server Thursday night and all was well, then Friday morning no internet.

 

[Rohan]

My experience so far with the new backbone has been pretty good. Congrats to CW, if things stay this way your new ISP is going to be a great success. On a side note I also had some nzb's that were incomplete.

 

[copacetic]

I apologise to the support guy for my extreme grumpiness right now.

 

[CataclysmZA]

I've finally bumped myself back up to 4Mb and its nice to have snappy-snappy internet again. I don't think I'll be moving anywhere else anytime soon.

DNS was an issue for me as well last night. Switched to Google DNS for the moment but CW will need to look at this.

Symptom is that I will be browsing a web site quite happily. Click on a different page/link on the same site and get "Server can't be found". Also in iTunes, get "the iTunes Store cannot be found"

Safari and Chrome on Mac OS X. I flushed the DNS cache but it still happened.

New network.

New account.

Same thing with me. Changed DNS but had the same issue, thought it was unrelated. Router for some reason didn't pick up the changes, it's all set now on google DNS as well.

Same issues here. Will switch to Google DNS and test.

EDIT: Yes, that did the trick for me as well.

 

[kripstoe]

Doing some MS updates. Speeds excellent for a 10Mb line.

So something is certainly up on CW side regarding DNS.

Hi, I was wondering if its worth it to switch from a 2Mbps Uncapped account from Afrihost, to a 4Mbps uncapped account from you guys? We use about 90 - 150 gigs a month so if I'm going to be shaped or throttled, its just wont work for us.

 

[Garson007]

Wonky this side. Have been netless for the last thirty min or so.

Except for Steam. Really weird.
