@killadoob, i bought a ND account the other night, tried 50 connections SSL on port 80 and it did make no difference. Only after 12am on IS did the speeds resume, went back to Astra and same result, all was full speed.

I have asked Keoma to switch me to VB, lets see if their shaping is less obtrusive. I don't blame OW at all, just those IS guys :(

12pm - 7am is not cool.

Not frustration talking here just aswell downloading is important to me :D

How's performance for you guys on VB with regards to streaming and browsing?

Epic, the only time streaming is a problem is when my news server is running for obvious reasons, browsing is superb.

Yuu change from IS to vb perhaps bud. Seems like IS got that shaping well locked down. If port 80 on newsdemon struggle then they have some seriously good shaping rules :D
 
@killadoob, holding thumbs that i can max out.

We should do a short survey for everyones experiences on the different backbones, can be a good reference for us now and then, especially new subscribers :D? What you guys think?

naaa then everyone will run to vb and it will get throttled and shaped :p

Edit: just a response from Keoma, all VB accounts are finished. Hopefully soon :).

I'm actually on BCS-Net at the moment. Performance yesterday was absolutely stellar but at the moment the only thing really moving is Steam, download-wise. Streaming and such is great as well. I'll give it the night and check what it does and if things don't pick up I'll put in a request for a VB account.
 
ATM browsing, youtube and all that are fine.. running on the Vodacom Backbone according to speed test but can't play Starcraft 2 nor can I use news groups at all... :(
 
@Toaster, welcome to the forums :)

What newsgroups are you using and is it on an SSL port?
 
Still no speed boost on the newsgroups. Here's hoping that they start moving around midnight!
 
@Messugga, exactly at 11pm IS pickedup (no reconnection on router) from 100KB/s to 200KB/s and in 28mins it will go full speed.

I wonder if it will stay all weekend??

Not on IS. Currently I'm getting 6KB/s and zero on torrents. Yesterday night my line was max'ing out on newsgroups. Steam will pull my line dead as it is currently.
 
@Messugga, i remember you on BCS, if the shaping is anything but similar, at 12am it will unthrottle like lastnight. Keep us posted :)

Edit: your steam is puffing along hehe so that makes sense but lets see what happens come midnight.

Edit2: still at 200KB/s , rebooted router aswell :(

Connection went wonky around midnight but a router reset sorted that out. Speeds are now running at what you'd expect from a 4mbps line.
 
Past midnight and speeds are only at halfway. Not what I expected when I signed up for the 'gold' account raved about by everyone on mybb. Unfortunately not everyone can be on the vb backbone. Could barely surf the net before 5pm. And till 12pm the line performed like a 384kbit. Shaping is fine. But to not be able to log onto the standard gmail website without switching to the old interface is ridiculous. I didn't subscribe to an after hours account. I subscribed to the uncapped "gold" account. Makes me wonder how bad the customers with the standard uncapped have it.

Speeds haven't gone past 2MB and rebooted again, wonder what is going on....

If there is a problem with IS, better get sorted quick, will be home all weekend so i expect to see speeds go vroom vroom :D.

@brianssk100, i suggest emailing Keoma and let him check your account. He can tell us if there is any issues or not currently. I was told the Altech backbone wouldn't be good for torrents from him so staying away from that until there is a VB account available. At the time when testing the VB backbone, i didn't have a NNTP account but now that i do, would love to test. Lets see what happens later today.

/goes back to watching some Criminal Minds an Anime after :)

Edit: at around 420am speeds went up to full to around 400KB/s but my MAX is around 420KB/s , stealing from me haha. No complaints, but weird a$$ shaping :/

I'm not currently downloading anything - but my browsing, etc is extremely fast.
 
Preparing to flash my Desire HD - some sources download slow - but getting around 350KB :D
 
I am sorry but my after hours uncapped has been disappointing this month. I can't even browse properly this morning? Since I have had this account everything is so SLOW. Not a happy chappy, Mr Beep please help
