There are no general issues currently.

Kindly email support@openweb.co.za so that we can take a look

Anyone have streaming issues with youtube lately? Not able to watch 480p without it stuttering. Bothasig area on a 2MB uncapped Gamers King account

Slow line again, international slow, local fast.
World of Warplanes updating at snails pace (22mb update!)
Facebook, Gmail, Twitter all dead slow.

I had the same problem when I was on an @mynetwork.co.za account. For some reason, those websites were particularly slow a lot of the time.

 

[Captain Beer]

The conclusion is, the only way to offer double line speed at no extra cost, without increasing contention ratios is for Telkom to drop the IPC price to ISPs.

What about speed bursts when the network is quiet?

 

[MrBEEP]

We are not ruling this out, but cannot guarantee it.

It's back.

And it's gone again. WTH.

Streaming can be shaped during peak, based on how busy the network is.

Things are busy right now, but not so busy that we have to shape streaming.

ok thanks, but I am no clearer as to which option would be better for my requirements... 2mb gold uncapped, or 4mb titan uncapped?

are there test accounts that I could use to evaluate?

Hi MrBeep,

I just want to find out, the current special running OpenWeb Titan 10Mbps @ R399.
Will this account stay on this price or is the limited time offer just that there is a limit to the amount of these that will be sold?

 

[MrBEEP]

Sure. Kindly drop us a mail: admin@openweb.co.za

If you purchase the account, the price will be locked in for the life of the account.

I'm currently on a 2mb Gamers King package, I dont care too much for weekday speeds, but will going for one of those Gold accounts on special be a big jump in performance (gaming & downloading) or would i not really see a difference ?

International html has slowed to a crawl. Anyone else having issues?

Should double your performance almost.

Sure. Kindly drop us a mail: admin@openweb.co.za

thanks, I have done as suggested!

 

[PostmanPot]

Gmail is crawling.

WOW almost double, could you give some more info on "performance" will ping be lower, more constant speeds on downloads etc?

Sounds awesome, worth a ponder

 

[ItherNiT]

Is gaming also prioritised on gold 24/7?

Just request a test account first. I'm on 4Mbps Gamers King and my speeds at night and during weekends are pretty much the maximum I can expect (over 400 kBps).

Sadly, it'll be a while still before ISPs provide a high level of prioritisation for streaming (Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)). Pretty much the only real problem I am having atm. But you should get better performance on that with the Gold package afaik.

Beep what is the priority on those Titan accounts , higher or lower than my current gamers king ?

Titan enjoys the lowest possible priority of all accounts currently offered by openweb (from my own correspondence with them).

Never tested Titan business hours performance, but after hours it's okayish, at least for SD streaming.
