So much for that port reset
I didn't even bother resetting mine as I know for a fact this is IS. Saix runs full speed.
I just wish someone would tell the truth...because come on...4mbit line...512 speed.

@ MrBeep: I did some digging.
50KB/s max. Plegh.
Rebooted router. Plegh.
Switched to Telkom guest account.
Surfed to www.telkom.co.za
Found the ADSL speed test.
1MB file instantly.. too small to objective results.. look at source URL.
Discover ftp://196.43.1.13/ISOs/ has a single 600MB OpenSolaris file hosted on a Telkom FTP server.
Start download, speeds between 415-425KB/s
Switched back to Openweb - 50KB/s again
MrBeep, please address this issue. I also cannot see how this is a Telkom port issue when using SAIX gives me full speed. I understand that the uncapped consumer products have a far higher contention ratio and IS throttle - but HTTP downloads at this current speed is not what "4096 uncapped" says.

For this gold upgrade , How do choose whether to order the uncapped package on the i.s backbone or mweb backbone? So once you order , how do you add this gold upgrade on? And can anyone on 4mb lines comment on the gold upgrade and if it improves anything...
PAP Auth errors EVERY TIME I REBOOT MY ROUTER
OK, I'm getting super-tired of this.
EVERY TIME, without fail, when I reboot my router, for an indeterminate period of time, I can't connect to OpenWeb -- my router reports PAP Authentication error.
Now, I'm a Linux boy -- I don't like to reboot. The last reboot was done at the behest of an OpenWeb SMS support response where I was informed that there had been some "extensive changes on my account" because I had SMS'd for support on exactly this problem, and apparently said changes required my router to be rebooted.
As much as I have a sour taste in my mouth from Afrihost, I never had this problem there -- suggesting that the problem is not with my router, but rather with whatever is doing the PAP auth at OpenWeb (I'm assuming).
Please sort this out. It's well annoying.

And the best bit of all is that after my reboot, speedtest.net results have dropped from 3.3 mbps to about 1.5.
WTF.
I don't see the point in paying for a 4meg line and a 4 meg account if I can't even get 1/2 of that. I appreciate that the line is shaped. I accept contention ratio giving me jumpy results. I don't accept paying for something I don't get on a regular basis. Just as there's a ceiling for these accounts (4meg), there needs to be a floor too, otherwise this is an open-ended highway robbery.
Not impressed. Do I really have to stop supporting the smaller guys and move over to the MWEB giant just to get the product I'm paying for?!

And another thing, whilst I'm in whiner mode: part of the reason for getting a 4meg line and account was so that I wouldn't have to wait for online vids to buffer.
YouTube once again requires use of the pause-and-buffer technique so as to not get a slideshow. That's just not cricket man. This is one of the things that will drive me to another ISP.
