Hi MrBEEP I emailed support about an hour ago requesting a new account haven't gotten back to me yet, DSLheaven is very good overall just recently more towards the gaming has been impossible due to latency not sure why.
 
I'm currently on OW Gold, an IS account (much to my disgust initially), but I must say it's working fantastically - browsing is really quick and responsive, torrents aren't great during the day but other than that - no complaints.

I'm still going to request a change over to DSL heaven next month as I have always been a fan of WA's network (though hoping they sort out their current rough patches), and their seemingly unbeatable latency.

PS: I'm not a gamer so I can't comment on how good it is for that.
 
I've been moved over from DSLHeaven to IS Gold now. So far it's working great, but still not as good as DSLHeaven used to be for me. Just loved having 170ms ping to UK/EU, since I do a lot of overseas gaming, etc. Hopefully in a few weeks DSLHeaven will be back to normal though.

Was also moved to IS this morning. Working much better, thanks MrBeep.

League of Legends: DSL-H 200ms, IS 230ms, so not much of a difference. Last night DSL-H was sitting at 240ms which is out of the norm, so maybe they need to sort out their problems first :p
 
Was also moved to IS. On the first day it was brilliant. Now, daytime local and int. browsing is dog slow for me. Same issues I had with IS before. Gold is losing its shine.
 
Hello,

Gold is not limited to one network. If IS does not suit your needs, please email us so that we can move you to a different network

DSL-H is running very good on my side, currently busy with a HTTP download, maxing my line as I type this :)

Any packet loss? That was my main issue with DSL-h. Massive packet loss after midnight. Made skyping to the GF and gaming near impossible.

My IS was sucking yesterday internationally, could barely load paypal.com - had to tunnel through the office VPN (web africa) just to use it.

Today it's ok again - 293ms ping to Washington DC. 0.7MB down, 0.3MB up. (1024/507kbps line).
 
Anyone else experiencing problems on the VB network?

International gaming is a no go with latency at 5 times what it usually was. Downloading for Downstorm and even program updates run at half speed.
