Would explain where the bandwidth is going ..... ( and probably the corner Cableguy has crawled into)

Corporates 1. Home user 0.

So much for "'We are truly honoured that you are considering joining OpenWeb. Having you as part of the OpenWeb family means so much to us!''

Well spotted Postguy.
 
i've just noticed that this Openweb thread is not a sticky any longer? Does this mean its not officially supported by Openweb anymore?

@ Zewp

Bump on the linespeed question?

I am in a position to help you but only up to 4mb speeds :(

Let me know, or send me a PM or something, I have a spare account I'm not using that you can try out, just get in touch ;)

Sorry, I only just saw your question. I've got a 2mb line but running a 1mb account. I'll pass for now, though. All my other protocols are currently bursting at almost 2mb speeds, it's just p2p that's completely dead. I'll give the account until the end of the month and if things continue detoriorating with OpenWeb I'll cancel it. I got a very interesting offer from someone via PM, so if I cancel my Openweb account I'll take the person up on that offer.

Try tunnelling your P2P download through SSL :P Watch it go full speed then :D
I used to do that with MWEB. It irritated them :D

I assume this would be against the ToS though? I remember something about Mweb cancelling ADSL accounts because of this.

Ah, that explains a lot. They've got a new business venture going, so now **** their ADSL clients. What a shame. A few years back Keoma was very outspoken about the state of ADSL in South Africa. I guess that flies out the window when you see there's money to be had elsewhere.

Well - the ''official'' support was usually ''please email support@openweb'' ....
Having said that no body from OW has bothered with this thread since Tuesday last week ....

Smoking gun. It does not matter on which profile you click it diverts to Tyra Wood, PR Manager and the description on the right is in a weird language Latin too.

I have no issues with them leveraging existing assets into other areas, as long as their range of products delivers, and support is up to scratch...
 
Things don't add up about that site.

According to Linkedin, the business was founded in 2010 while the WhoIs query notes a last update sometime last year. Despite this, the website is unfinished, uses a lot of templates and remains mostly broken. The addition of fake profiles/recommendations is equally worrying (though explained via templates/placeholders to be edited out and changed later). Regardless, that site should not be live as is.

Looked into the address. Quite a few businesses operated from there, most notably ZA Serve is still listed from there, and is where WhoIS points as the billing account for WrightMedia. Another being International Lighting who had a very interesting first poster on their Facebook page...

I'd rather just assume that both ventures were ideas they had that they never followed up upon. But, if that was the case for Wrightmedia, why is their blog receiving updates only as of late?
