Hey All, have a weird one for you all.

So current setup is a Billion 400G (Telkom one), running my mweb uncapped 4mb through it like normal. Line sync is Upstream 639900
Downstream 8031900

So technically 4mb spare capacity.

Now i have a housemate who runs his own adsl account through ppoe dialup on windows 7. His is a mweb uncapped 2mb. So with some quick maths i technically have 2mb spare capacity. Has worked like this no issues that i can remember from the day we started sharing the connection.

Since Saturday 8 December all of a sudden if he downloads at full speed (256Kbps roughly) then i get pushed down to the same, basically halving my download, same happens to my upload (irrelevant at the moment). So now its technically a 2mb for the both of us and 4mb overhead.

I have gone through everything i can thing of and cant think how this is being used. Housemate has fixed ip address and subnet mask, no dns and no gateway so does not use my connection if his dial up connection fails, have got telkom to do a port reset and made no difference!

Any ideas???
 
Strange, I think due to you both having mweb accounts, you could contact Mweb Guy and ask for assistance.

Alternatively, you may considered opting for a 10 Mbit account from Mweb, although I realise that's not a solution to your question.

I see no problem with what you want to do, I believe the fault may lie with the mweb servers in this case.
Better to ask them directly.
 
Yeah tried 10mp as it used to sync at that but, copper lines have degraded in our area so 8mb is the best, running some other tests as it may be a rouge device on the network causing the issue. Anyone know of a way i can see all my devices on my network, whether they have fixed ip or dynamic
 
Ok dont worry, seems i have a pc doing some rouge updates that keep failing and causing issues. Busy reinstalling it now.
