And NNTP is shaped to average 12KB/s.

 

[Vrotappel]

NNTP broken again.

 

[F1 Fan]

No. It is part of the package.

I remember a while back they said you can buy the news server directly from them even if you not a customer. Nothing on the site though.

managed half line speed now on torrents on a normal uncapped account.

Half line speed? Is that test-shaping or real shaping? (I don't mind the shaping, but is it half line-speed because it's P2P? And if so, what would HTTP and NNTP come down at?)

Missed that one.

Torrents borked again tonight, at least for some users (I suspect the same who suffer NNTP troubles). Sure feels like shaping.

 

[Penquin]

Great. Account not authenticating and no support in sight.

 

[Manemarak]

what kind of speeds are you guys getting on speedtest.net?

10mbs line: PTA-PTA

Support is off line due to updates/maintenance.

So I have noticed according to their site. It's usually when I need support when they're offline.

 

[Basjohn]

Torrents are back to about half line speed atm (from 10kBs/0kBs) not ideal but not complaint worthy either. I do worry about this being a recurring issue however, and if these other problems are linked. ("Backbone Trial" user)

Email support is pretty dodgy but when live is around it's the one thing that impressed me most about CW. I've had the MD himself help me out personally at 2am-3am a few times.

Jip, that is my experience as well.
Don't think he ever sleeps.

I occasionally dose off these days. I remember what that's like, faintly...

Get a neck brace.... helps you sleep sitting upright!

the interwebz that good today? not a single moan? must be a record

Maybe some people have to actually work during the day

 

[Vrotappel]

And on cue NNTP starts degrading. What is the shaping policy for NNTP on the new backbone?
