Openweb Uncapped Feedback

[Senshi]

Slick, out of interest, where are you located ?

I'm located in Midrand, central Midrand actually (JHB, Gauteng).

This is on my Webafrica account :

And another on my 1gb axxess unshaped :

Quick question - my account is @vb.co.za - what newsgroup do I use? The one provided by email doesn't work (news.is.co.za)

have a look at http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/224044-Openweb-Uncapped-Feedback?p=5094007&viewfull=1#post5094007

use 10minutemail to create a temporary email address, after the account expires just create a new one

Quick question- is there any problems with using newsgroups over SSL (443)? I know MWEB were pretty anal

I'm also getting terrible speeds now on my VB account

It might be because of some Telkom network failure between Bloem and Kimberley which they are working on.

no problems using unencrypted newsgroups. Port 119 goes full speed

That's really odd. Mr.Beep told me there is a Telkom cable break on the route going straight into VB in Jhb. Your traffic must be routed elsewhere in Cape Town, so consider yourself lucky - Guess I'll just have to wait it out, just saw now Mr.Beep also updated it on Openweb's site. ETA for fix 4 hours and counting.

On which OpenWeb package and network is that, if I may ask?

Openweb Gold 384 on VB

Openweb Gold 384 on VB

Ah thanks, I think it just might be time to move away from MWEB and get onto this, whilst the speeds last.

At this point in time I want to can my Gold Uncapped 384 shaped account because I get random disconnects - pages wouldn't load, then loads when refreshing the page.

Int downloads very between 1KB/sec and 5KB/sec, 10KB/sec and 20KB/sec. Sometimes I am lucky to get full speed, 35KB/sec to 42KB/sec. Local downloads peak at 42KB/sec and spiking to 57KB/sec * 2.2KB/sec and now 1.5KB a freaking sec.

My other capped shaped accounts from Web Africa, Nexus and Afrihost perform normal, 38KB/sec to 40KB/sec.

Where should I start looking for the problem? Modem, line, account, ........???????? Each time I contact Keoma, he cannot find any problem.

SO WHAT NOW????? Any suggestions?

* and I underline because I cannot strike through.

 

[nahoR]

spiking to 57KB/sec

Not really possible on a 384 line (384kbps = 48KB/s) and thats ignoring overhead.

Int downloads very between 1KB/sec and 5KB/sec, 10KB/sec and 20KB/sec.

Thats really weird. On which backbone are you? Im on VB and I pull 2GB a day easily

If your other ISP accounts performance is constantly better, it cant be your line or modem, if you use the same line and modem. Also remember that other ISPs accounts have different shaping rules

 

[snail112]

Scratch the bloody 35KB/sec to 42KB/sec on local content. Bring it down to 2.2KB/sec!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MrBEEP]

Hello nahoR,

Currently, all Gold networks are running without a hitch. We are also running way under capacity, so there is more than enough bandwidth for everyone.

It seems like your problem is specific to your line, router, configuration or area.

If your problem persists, please email [email protected]

Kind regards
MrBEEP

MrBEEP, i have no problem. I was commenting on snail122's post

Im very pleased with the performance of my account

 

[snail112]

I am on the @dsl-bcsnet.co.za. Busy downloading a 1MB file through Telkom's Speed test @ 1.0KB/sec.



back to 1.5KB/sec.

 

[nahoR]

Email MrBEEP, maybe he can move you to another backbone?

I found this thread about the @dsl-bcsnet.co.za domain. With only questions and no answers.

Email Mr.Beep asap and let him move you to another backbone.

Trust me, you'll thank us afterward
