Trace complete.

The trace on the other account still looks the same, just looks like the IS account now is back to what it used to be before what I experienced yesterday (Saterday).

Was odd to see 90-100ms in online games, when it used to be around 30-50ms.

Thanks for this. Up to 168.209.2.130 IS have control over where-after it jumps over the (private) peering link to MTN. I just wanted to compare the first five traces ito latency.
 
Are we going to see any price cuts from Plugg??
pricing has been the same for years now
 
Howdy,

Internet Solutions is in the process of evaluating their wholesale rates for their resellers and only then will IS be able to make a call on Plugg's pricing. Plugg being the consumer division of Internet Solutions; it is a fine line to ensure that you do not compete against your own customers.

I had and axxess 4mb uncapped account, moved over to afrihost for 2 months and then discovered PLUG !!!! I am extremely happy with the download speeds I get, ping times much better than axxess and afrihost.

<====== Happy customer
 
Howdy,

Janitor, I can't stream justin.tv. Does it work for you?

Taking that Justin Bieber obsession to the next level eh :P

Just kidding.

I just logged into justin.tv and streaming ParadoxInteractive without any hassles; also managed to stream a live feed of waily9067 playing Hitman: Absolution (the Chinese version, its sort of funny) although that redirected to twitch.tv.

And just to make sure, I streamed episode of Southpark (www.justin.tv/arconai_207).

So all good this side. Anybody else experiencing streaming issues from justin.tv?

Figured it out ... Needed to open port 1935 on my router.

Thanks.
 
I think you should definitely contact Plugg first as I'm currently fairly satisfied with them. The only problem I have with them is they definitely DO throttle (sometimes quite hectically). Good speeds at ALL times is my demand and any ISP that can do so will have my loyalty.
My definition of a good ISP:
1. Constant good speeds at all times (throttle my downloads if you want but DON'T throttle my browsing speeds)
2. Decent gigabytes of downloads (otherwise why would I want uncapped?)
3. Lowest price / best service ratio (we are consumers after all...)
If you're complaining about #1, I can understand as I had a few hiccups with them too occasionally. Other than that, I really think they got #2 and #3 perfectly fine! Highly recommended!
 
I love Plugg, but I do feel a bit left out in the cold with the recent price reductions and lack of bundle deals. C'mon janitor, give us a sub R500 2mbps uncapped bundle. Purdy please :)

I already touched on that topic - http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthr...DSL-Feedback?p=9722534&viewfull=1#post9722534

I'll touch base with the product managers to find out where they are with the process.

Hi Janitor @ Plugg

I am deciding which ISP to sign up with for a new line. Your price looks good but I would like to give your service a try.
I currently have 4 other MWEB uncapped 4Mb accounts.
Could I please get a 4Mbit uncapped trial account to test drive the performance?

Much appreciated!

Regards
 
I'f been with plugg for 2 weeks now (half of 2mbps) and must say that i am a happy customer.

Primary use is torrenting and online gaming.

Enjoying the downloading speeds, but more importantly, consistently low latencies.

To me it really does seem like the account has a 'low contention ratio' as was advertized.
