Openweb Uncapped Feedback

1: Radio is generally fine but you will struggle to get good daytime streaming/HTTP speeds until you find an account that works for you, its taken me a good couple of weeks on different networks to get one that seems to work well now

2:Torrents are something you will also struggle with, some accounts only work afterhours with 10K the rest of the time others 10K even on weekends! Full speed on weekends is the "norm" tho...

3: As per Spyk3r

Anyone else with internet that's comparable with GPRS?
Local: Max 20Kbps
International: 8KBps.
Even for a 384 line this is agony.

Hey Friends,

There is currently a Telkom cable break in Johannesburg causing authentication issues for our clients on @dsl-bcsnet.co.za accounts.

Engineers are attending.

ETA: 4 hours.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused!

NZB downloads seem a bit slow tonight, running at around 150KB/s... anyone else?

 

[cyberarmy]

VB network tonight at very slow speed...

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Mine were a bit slow last week, back to normal now.

 

[Spyk3r]

I have been having crc errors on my line. Random disconnects and latency issues. Does anyone know if there are telkom issues? Line speed on IS backbone have been much slower of late. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm in cpt btw.

Spyk3r, reset your router to factory default and setup everything fresh. It worked for me the last time my gold account would not connect.

What are the symptoms of this fault?

 

[Qrox]

I'm getting disconnects and high latency, I take it thats what the problem is. Hope it gets sorted soon.

 

[MrBEEP]

Hey Friends,

Slow connectivity both locally and internationally will be experienced.

All should be sorted within the next 2 hours. Fault was found, and is being repaired.

Thank you for your patience!

Kind regards
MrBEEP

 

[cyberarmy]

I hope it will be sorted by tomorrow morning as for now my 4Mbps is still sub 100k/s download http.

 

[Qrox]

Getting 3-8kbs download speed on 384 line

EDIT: Latency Suck atm... a LOT of LAG Spikes

 

[Qrox]

It's getting worse and worse. 4000 latency in WoW atm

Hey Friends,

Telkom fault: There are 36 exchange faults currently open. This will cause disconnections, high latency and poor connectivity. Telkom are 'working' on the problem.

Hi Mr Beep

Are these faults mostly in JHB or CPT as well? Just want to know when i check tonight and theres something wrong, then i know its the telkom faults causing the problem/s

 

[MrBEEP]

They are scattered all around the country. Quite sad really

 

[Spyk3r]

Hey MrBEEP,

Do you have a list of exchanges affected? Are you able to post it here?

Still having crc errors, even after router reset. Its getting annoying and I know its the line as 3 different accounts all render the same result (cr@ppy line)
