thanks for the assistance mrBeep. it seems my troubles resides with telkom as my line is not sycing properly.
 
Do I really have to give up my trial account :love:

Good experience overall...now to check my budget to see if i can fit this in.
 
I bought an uncapped account for the month since I need / want to download around 150GB international (usenet).

It started off fine: I was getting around 250KBps constantly on a 4mbps account, this morning when I checked it had dropped down to 120KBps. That was still okay. Now it's dropped all the way down to 60KBps. Seriously? I'm new to these kind of uncapped accounts, but this is pretty shocking... and nowhere near what was advertised.

I can still stream HD no problem though... Which is pretty odd. If I don't get my R150GB by the end of the month I'm going to be pretty peeved. :-/

You should be able to get much more than that. Leave your pc downloading overnight.
 
Hello Loopin,

Please email me your MyADSL nickname as well as your ADSL username so that I can take a look.

Does Openweb support IPv6? I keep getting told there is an issue with the IPv6 relay route

Love my gold account and the VB backbone very much :D

Boy does it suck to read comments like this.I am also on VB Gold using Newsdemon and I have been struggling with my account for weeks - 100KB/s is the order of the day for me.Nothing wrong with my line or exchange as I have tested on my capped account.The only thing keeping me with Openweb currently is the service I get from Keoma.Actually had good speeds last night but this morning it is running at 50KB/s:confused:

I don't really download 24/7, but for the month of April I went a bit nuts and downloaded about 330GB (was the most I ever did so far) and I wasn't even downloading 24/7 for the whole month. On average I do about 90-120GB a month, but whenever I download, its full speed. If you guys aren't getting full speed with Newsdemon, switch between the US and EU servers from time to time. Sometimes the one performs better than the other one, download speed wise.

50KBps I WISH I was getting that, I don't think you can even call what I am getting internet. And same if it wasn't for the service of Keoma, I would have already cancelled my account.

Maybe you guys can help, I have been emailing Keoma back and forth and he has given me multiple accounts all with issues. The VB accounts get decent speeds but non existent downloads, and the openweb accounts give me the expected speeds after hours but 7am-6pm get speeds like this.... Okay speednet not loading for me says "Configuration error" and neither is mybroadband. Last speed test I was getting 9kBps.

So can you please help me out, people who download via torrents OR news sites, which backbone are you using and what are your speeds like.

I can't even play games on it, I had to buy myself a capped account =/

Edit: Was able to get a speedtest eventually (local)

I am still running FULL speed on my 4Mbps Gold. Have you checked with Telkom?
 
I'm on Altech. Torrents are shaped during the day but work nicely in the evenings
