Ok Ok So who Hates Iburst?

[BroadbandICTHoldings]

Um.. where do you get those speeds from?

Advertised 345kb/s? as in upload speed? why would you care so much about that?

And 248kb is faster than 1mb/s by far, unless you mean 248kb/s (not a downlaod speed) in wich case its terrible.
160kb is also amazingly fast, or terribly slow...
Well atleast you love it.. watevers going on

Howzit boet,

kb- or kB- ....ps 1024kbps=128kBps

Thanks alot for that.. haha
No I know.. and i was a bit lazy with my kb and kB in that post but the point is that Creed was obviously confused in his post. His numbers make no sense..

 

[Creed]

Hehe, I'm not too good at the techincal stuff so sorry if I got all the facts wrong.I use Leechget and those are the speeds that it shows there.I'll get my facts straight b4 I make myself look like an idiot....again

 

[Ekhaatvensters]

Its cool.. those figures just seem pretty weird..
So if its leechget I'm assuming that 160kB+ and 248kB/s once off?
hmmm... well you should be damn happy with Iburst then

True . I always have 100% signal strength. I have not ever had 1Mbps.
. Right know I have 100% signal. Lets test the connection.


Your line speed is approximately 250.4 Kbps or 30.7 kBytes/sec

Test again at Gamco 217.2 kbps

Sentech

Speed Test
Your download speed is: 23.24 KBps, or 185.96 Kbps
The test took 23.016 seconds to complete

 

[dijaba]

28.8 kbps Dial-up
33.6 kbps Dial-up
57.6 kbps Dial-up
64 kbps ISDN
128 kbps ISDN
294.3 kbps YOU
384 kbps ADSL
512 kbps ADSL
768 kbps ADSL
1024 kbps ADSL

This is using the gamco test and utTrace star signal strength is -80.

On average this is what I get during office hours, after hours the speed gets up to about 750kbps

 

[guest2013-1]

funny, mine stays constant at 980kbps... oh wait, thats cause I have 1024kbps ADSL from telkom...

 

[Gatecrasher]

Papi, is that you?

 

[Acidkid]

funny, mine stays constant at 980kbps... oh wait, thats cause I have 1024kbps ADSL from telkom...

Thats just unfair... Should of gone for Telkom myself.......Too late now

Well that is a fair bit more expensive than Iburst, whats the line rental on that? Oh yes, R680 and then still R200+- (more on SAIX, less on IS) for 3 gigs.

But a better service obviously, noones doubting that.

 

[Jongi]

I'm meh about the service. I range between 500kbps and max 800 these days. It is not what I am paying for though.

 

[Jongi]

Let's face, the 'new' South Africa is not big on service delivery.

Some of us can say service delivery is better than it was in the 'old' South Africa.
