Openweb Uncapped Feedback

Definitely something up, possibly Seacom issues. My after hours uncapped account showed a sharp drop between ~ 11h00 and 12h00 today, and then worked fine until just before 17h00. Since then I have been averaging half the speed I normally get - i.e. ~ 200 KB/s (instead of ~ 400 KB/s). I hope the issue is sorted out soon.

MrBeep - is there anything you can confirm or do to mitigate this problem?
 
Hey Friends,

There is definitely a fault. We are working with IS at the moment to find out exactly what is causing it. It could still be related to Seacom issues. I will post here as soon as I know more.
 
Thanks MrBeep, waiting to use the account again :-)
 
So can anyone on VB 4meg confirm they get full speed NZBs constantly?
 
Found this on the MWEB forum:

Engineers have confirmed that Seacom, the submarine cable connecting Africa’s east coast to Europe, has broken down between Egypt and Marseilles on Saturday.

This is slowing down international traffic on MWEB’s network.

We are currently running at 55% of our total international capacity and we are negotiating for extra international bandwidth to reroute traffic along other routes.

Seacom is urgently trying to restore their links, but they can’t yet tell us how long it will take, as there are a number of external factors involved.

"Constantly" may be pushing it a little, don't get me wrong VB is great for NZB's (last month I had full speed on Astra pretty much 90% of the time) but you will get periods when you won't get full speeds. At the moment speed is great and going at about 400KB/s, but earlier this week is was mostly hovering between 200-300, which is still awesome though.

I love my OpenWeb VB account, would be hard to give it up. It is quite pricey though, but worth every cent.
 
Thanks Tim. I get 20kb/s during the day and 100kb/s between 5pm and midnight. Will email OW and make the changeover to VB then!

I can, stonecold can as well.

I limit my nzb's to 300 and it never dips below that. Well not that i know of but i would say without a shadow of a doubt it run fulls speed 99% of the time :D

Openweb gold and international is pretty dead
 
speeds are still junk on afterhours uncapped on my side, local is fine though
 
My account has finally been behaving - thanks for the switch MrBEEP (from vb to vb)

Kind of ironic that while everyone is having problems - mine is working.

Telkom have also come back to me saying they cant find my line :rolleyes:
 
Any update on the seacom issue ? My international speeds are still terrible
 
Hi Friends,

I am afraid Seacom is currently down. All links will be running on SAT3 backup capacity.
 
Mr Beep does the after hours uncapped according to speedtest is over IS and speeds are still slow?
Does IS use Seacom bandwidth?
