OpenWeb ADSL Feedback Thread

Torrents also bad for me. Its probably just shaping - just wait it out, 7pm is only 18min away

Seems the switch has been flipped - 250kbps and counting

Can someone on a 2meg account in JHB do a speed test please. I'm on a leon edition 2meg gold uncapped account. These are my speed test results. Awful international speed:

Don't even get close to those figures.
My figures are 1.6Mbps and sometimes 2.01Mbps.

What in the actual... How am I getting 330Kb/s on news, 100+ Kb/s on torrents and only 30Kb/s max on any http downloads (tried chrome, ubuntu + a few other downloads now)... Isn't that kinda weird?

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

IS News Server is slow tonight, only getting 900KB/sec

Hi HowTo,

As per my PM, you are suffering from a Telkom or router fault.

Even your local latency is very high.

Please call Telkom on 10210 as per my suggestion and have them correct this for you.

I am currently using your account and its running at 3.4Mbps

Leon from OpenWeb sorted out my issue now. Reset my port and I'm back to normal. Great service as always

You should print that out and put it on a t-shirt for him, as a Xmas gift...

@MrBEEP what is the difference between "freedom capped" and "Gold capped" ?

Gold Capped has a lower contention ratio compared to Freedom.

Business users and discerning home users choose Gold for the best possible ADSL experience

I've had virtually no issues since the afternoon issues about a month ago. Been recommending to friends.
