Morning Friends,
I believe today I will be blessed with a whole range of positive feedback
I wonder why?

im wondering also.
No difference between gaming during off peak or office hours. Both good.
Local and international speed tests are back up to full speed, with both upload and download and with low pings.
Torrents still at max 25% during office hours.

You are on a gamers king account which is a shaped account.
You surely cannot expect anything more in terms of torrent download speed considering that torrents get the lowest of low priority when it comes to office hour shaping on almost any shaped account at any ISP currently.

True, though I was getting 75% when I first signed up. Still, I realise that it is pretty good bang for buck.
There were times when still on my Vanilla account that I got up to full speed. Not sure what has changed lately. Maybe the shaping policies have just been tightened even further?

just realised in another thread how awesome openweb is. well done and keep it up mrbeep!
Why don't you just pay a few bucks for a torrent-to-http service?
Might do. Will have to test HTTP and FTP download speeds first though. Speedtest.net is HTTP download, no?
HTTP is not shaped, so you can be sure that your speeds will be the best that you can hope for.
If these speeds continue though, then Torrent to HTTP services will just be a waste of time and money.
Are the use of these services not against the fair usage policies of the ISPs though?
Hi Kalster,
Shaping is dynamic based on how busy the network is at any given time.
You can go from full speed, to 25% within minutes during peak time. It is the nature of a shaped account.
When the network is quiet though, shaping is relaxed, many times to the point of being completely unshaped.

So basically it means everybody was actually working at that time and not using the company internet to download movies

Possibly, but who's going to say anything? If your intention is to abuse the hell out of your line then it wouldn't be cool, but if you're a relatively casual internet user I have no problem with someone making their experience more enjoyable. I'm on an Afrihost business account, so they don't care what I get up to.

shhhhhh damit. dont tell everyone. i wish
Thanks Keoma. I know I keep bringing this up. I am not complaining though. Just offering running commentary. I regularly plug Openweb in fact.
From 100kBps earlier to peaking at 500kBps is a HUGE difference though. I like!
