OpenWeb ADSL Feedback Thread

[MrMag]

Speeds are downright terrible for ADSL this morning
feels like I have dialup all over again.

Will we in SA ever get out of the Internet dark ages?
Even other 3rd World Countries are faster than us
Were just a ***in joke

These accounts have a higher contention ratio than Gold. Gold remains a great purchase! However, the Gamers packages still work well

/Prays to the lord of light for a 10Mbps line upgrade.

BTW MrBeep, how do these accounts compare the the Gold Uncapped?

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

I must still learn how to control this new 10Mbps beast, managed to do this over the weekend without even trying:

This Month (to date, does not include this hour, starting at day 8):
 	Bandwidth
In	78805 MBytes
Out	1143 MBytes
Total	79948 MBytes

Hi Guys,

My question is, are there any other ISPs that offer VB backbone uncapped accounts?

VB?

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

VB?

Vodacom Business.

I haven't seen a need for VB accounts as the quality of IS connections has been excellent for the last year or so.

Must admit, struggling a little as well. Had a really decent weekend but today not so much. International is not happy at all with GMAIL and Google images dropping me down to their "Standard" versions as it thinks my internet connection is too slow.

Haven't rebooted my router since Friday's outage........maybe I should give that a go first.

Dino Time 3D? :wtf: Alright, I will start downloading like mad at 6pm tonight

Lol it was only 3 odd gig - worked quite well!
Here are my results starting Friday 2Mbps

07-JUN-13 3.8Gb u/l 11.7Gb d/l
08-JUN-13 3.5Gb u/l 9.6Gb d/l
09-JUN-13 3.5Gb u/l 9.4Gb d/l
Busy with Mike Tyson Collection 28Gb!

I'm on the 10mb Gamer King and I couldn't be happier:

From around 5:30pm every weekday it feels almost completely unshaped.. and even during office hours my downloads are only shaped to between 400kBps - 600kBps. I often get sub-200ms pings in WoW, and YouTube / browsing is full speed 24/7.

Considering the price is LESS than a 'standard' account, these accounts are by far the best value for money!

I regularly recommend the Gamer King account to my friends

if one upgrades to gamers king does your old account just disappear?

 

[MrBEEP]

Not exactly flying for a 4MB Gold. Let see what happens tonight and maybe reassess the situation tomorrow.

 

[MrBEEP]

Generally if local is slow, there is a problem other than on the account.

We havent shaped local for the last 8 years.

Telkom need to get it together and upgrade my line already. :twisted:

If I had a faster line, I probably would have signed up for this deal.
