Any news on VB?
Steam still sitting at 14KBps.... (and other protocols too when I checked)
 
IS is no better my account behaves like a 384 line.

It runs well after hours for the first day or two then I'm sure you get penalized for using copious amounts of bandwidth.

I do wish I had the cash for an unshaded account so that I could see what its going on.

Think I'm going to switch over to the telkom line and see what's up.


Update: 20 Kb/s on a 4Mbps line and using the telkom package.

Update: IS on fire and telkom dead.

Hello,

Please email me: [email protected] so that I can investigate.

I do know that many Telkom exchanges are over congested. Unfortunately, the ISP's mostly get the blame for this, when it is in fact a Telkom fault. 10Mbps ADSL indeed destroyed normal ADSL speeds for many.

This IS account is horrible. 10 minutes to download a HI-FI corp catalogue of 1.9 megs!

Speed test says it all. International upload speed exceeds the download speed!

Hi Friends,

There is currently a VB backbone fault causing little to no connectivity. Engineers are attending.

I apologize for the inconvenience!

I think that backbone fault was already in effect since last week (they just didn't pick it up yet :D ), hence the poo speeds me and the others got on VB the past week at certain stages during the day. But alas, will test it myself once I get home later and see if I can spot an improvement. :)

Agreed, MrBEEP is very efficient when it comes to the management of his Business !

The switch is on or its off, no shades of grey with him.
 
THAT is precisely what makes all the difference to me. No flim-flam, blahblah run-around. Straight to the point.

Hi All

I think there is somethign wrong with IS.
Just about every weekday durning office hours the speeds are rubbish.



I have pretty much given up now.

I have had to downgrade to 1meg from 4meg (1Aug) due to costs, but I hope the 1meg is close to it's max more oftern than the 4meg.

Over al lthe support from Openweb has been good and if I had the cash, and 10meg in my area, then I would get and unshapped account. But alas.
Anyway, weekend here so heres hoping for good speeds.

Edit:
Well Keoma has sorted me out. :)
Will see how it goes over the weekend and into next week.

I am afraid you are right . There is a huge difference between the speed on IS backbone between 16:30 when websites just don't open and 17:15 when everything is fine .
I am just tired of complaining about it .
 
Durban looks like its going to be a very crappy weekend.

Flakey internet since 17:00

Any one else ?
 
Confirmed. News just in is that Telkom is suffering from a major fault in KZN. Engineers are attending.
