Openweb Uncapped Feedback

Not open for further replies.
I sent a mail to find out if anything was wrong this morning. At 11 I got a reply saying that there is a fault and that engineers are looking for the problem. Thats the last update I've heard. Anyone else have some info on this?
 
There is something definitely wrong - I've been managing 4MB an hour since last night - I'm now only getting 20KB/s on Gold
 
Hey Friends,

There is currently a DNS fault. I would advise you use the following DNS entries:

Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4

These work on any ISP.

Kind regards
MrBEEP
 
Changing the DNS didn't help me at all

Local

International

International is fine, but the local is really messing about. Local latency is about 4-5 times as high as it usually is. (384 line, IS Backbone)
 
Woops. Seems the modem didn't keep the settings the first time around. After setting it up again and resetting things are looking much better

Thx MrBEEP
 
DNS change make no difference. Youtube videos going at about 40kbps. Kind of riduculous waiting an hour for a 5min video on 240p to finish buffering...

Why don't you take that demo after hours package, run it from 7pm tonight till 7am tomorrow morning and compare the results? I assume you still got downloads queued for tonight?

hopefully will be finished for awhile... want to wait to the weekend to do a demo on the afterhours...so I have decent day and night time to play with boxee.... I'm happy with the 200KB/s - but its a far cry from the 400KB/s I used to get... not to happy with the 50KBs though :p

Sweet!!! Only reason I'm pushing it is cause I've seen how you been suffering with your ISP's and performance more or less since Mweb's uncapped packages broke into the market. I was also highly frustrated but then Telkom gave me a 10mb line and I went 50gb capped afrihost gold and openweb after hours uncapped, R1759 all in and I never see anything less than 800kBps. It's just superb....
 
Nah - I'm mostly happy with Openweb Gold - I mean it gets the job done, only issue is it has its ups and downs, but MrBEEP is always quick to assist :) Its the reason I came back after a two month break....

The afterhours one - is that also unshaped on torrents? Because obviously torrents are a no go on VB.

I would actually move over immediately if I had a 10MB line :( I keep checking but I don't think West Beach is a priority.

Don't do torrents much if I can help it. They volatile at the best of times but I've seen torrents come down at an average speed of 850kBps before so I would have to say they unshaped yes.

My main source is newsgroups- and streaming content... but I've been sitting with a rather large torrent (29GB) since around October :p
