I see on your account, your line maxed out last night at 4mbps.

I see you have engaged in a solid stream of downloads. Perhaps the downloads were slowing your speed down on speedtest. Then again, speedtest is hardly ever accurate. Did you not notice your line was maxing out on 4mbps when you were downloading?

Sorry about downloads ...catch up from my last ISP THROTTLING ME TO THE HILT.

What I expected was that the downloads would be shaped, but browsing would run normally. We battle, with nothing else running, to just get mails. It almost looks like throttling?

As per above, I've tried new account details (new backbone?) which seems to solve the perceived throttling issue.

Might be worth a try?

AFAIK these OW accounts are impacted overall by shaping. I also thought it should work by port or protocol etc...
 
2Mb maxed out for the last hour or so....awesome....also grabbed the 6GB BF4 beta during the day....so everything running again!!
shweeet!
 
MrBEEP, I'm unable to access my Uncapped ADSL account. It appears my password had been changed!
Sending PM with my details.

I seem to have lost international access... Noticed this yesterday evening... Only able to visit local .co.za pages. When it was working youtube is terrible it literally takes 15 mins to get through a 3 - 4 min video. general browsing is ok but ive experienced alot better.

I cancelled a capped afrihost account to switch to OW uncapped promo for R129. Oh and its a 1Mbps line.

I havent been able to do any real troubleshooting except for restarting everything...

Same here friend!!No international down
 
Mr Beep, how is traffic on the network now? I'm unable to watch youtube videos in 360p, they play up to a certain point then get stuck and never plays until I reload the page. Now I can live with youtube being slow, but today is Champions League night. I'll be ultra :mad: if I can't stream the game's I want to watch.
 
All is running 100% this evening.

Drop me a PM so that I can test from our side.

Looking forward to the line speed upgrades!

Apparently 4Mbps will cost the same as 2Mbps does now, so what will happen to 10Mbps?

Nothing. The structure is now how it should've always been:

Fast - 2Mbps (old 1Mbps)
Faster - 4Mbps (old 2Mbps)
Fastest - 10Mbps (old 4/10Mbps)

Yes but, in the past, when line speeds were upgraded, accounts were upgraded too. So if 4Mbps lines are at 2Mbps prices, then chances are, the accounts will be too. So, what will happen to 10Mbps account prices?

Edit: I get it now, you're referring to DATA prices. That's up to the ISPs, I doubt we'll see much change right away. But that's just my guess.

It stays the same as what it is now. 2Meg will cost what 1Meg used to, 4Meg will cost what 2Meg used to and 10Meg will cost what 4/10Meg used to. Don't think I can make it much clearer.
