OpenWeb ADSL Feedback Thread (Pt2)

I am very happy to say that I have just signed up with openweb.

Waiting for my details now
 
I am only getting 1/4 of my line speed on P2P since this morning; and this on a weekend!!!! However, when I switch to my backup account, also on IS network, I get full speed (200kB/s). :confused:
(It's been slow the whole week after hours, but that was due to Microsoft and Apple updates.)

Browsing and general downloading are full speed (200kB/s), but not P2P. Are you guys shaping us after hours or are the Microsoft and Apple updates still slowing the downloading speed?

There are no general issues at the moment.

The East (KZN and surrounds) is currently receiving shaping on torrents and p2p only. Everything else should run at full speed.

It is quite busy in this region today.

Hi cableguy, I've PM'd you with details. My account has abruptly stopped authenticating. Sending this via my free 1GB AH account on the same router so everything else seems to be working fine.
 
Come to think of it, what would we do without these free accounts - diagnosing anything would be a mission and I'd be sitting around with no connectivity.

Im still not getting any joy this weekend , speeds have been crap :( Cant even play marvel heroes online.
so much for that gaming priority 24/7 on my uncapped gold account.
 
I spoke to soon....seems that if I reboot the modem the speed is fine for a few minutes, then it goes to cr*p.

What's the ETA for support in this place??? Call centre isn't open. No response to ticket. Cable dude isn't responding....
 
Hi Imagine

Another Telkom issue.

Your 2nd hop is shocking!

It seems like Telkom is running out of capacity on their exchanges!
