*READ FIRST* iBurst Network Status & Issues (DNS, Throughput and Latency)

[HazMan]

There are multiple base stations in Kempton and no generic issue in the area. Can you please PM me your UTIDs and we can investigate further.

Hi Ronald

Will PM you the UTID when I get home

Most the towers in Kempton are on load 3, hazman what area in Kempton are you in?
there are 1-2 towers with min load just depends where you are to connect to them.
I had to get a 3m mast installed to get back to the original signal I was getting last year.

@Bmax17 - I am in Terenure Ext - I have line of sight to Trust Bank, but I believe there is another tower closer which may be better. Do you use an omni with your mast ?

 

[Bmax17]

@HazMan: Use a flat panel antenna on mast. Before the mast was put up I got better signal from my omni but it kept jumping between towers, not good for gaming.

I have asked our support people to double check international speeds in Cape Town. Can you please post examples?

So what signal do you get currently with the flat panel ? Where are you in KP and which tower are you on ?

You don't use iBurst at home?!!! :Shock and Horror:

How on earth would I post on these forums after-hours, if I didn't have iBurst?

 

[Bmax17]

@Hazman get between 400-800kps on tower 14. Did you get the pm I sent you?

 

[Bmax17]

Sorry Ronald - a bit of gentle leg-pulling there... didn't realise your nick referred to your fiery personality Will be more serious in future

How the heck do I get better speeds during the day when it's raining....

<--- I'm not sick, just green with envy...

Not to worry, the nick has nothing to do with being fiery...

See you found the turbo button?

 

[Madhawk]

See you found the turbo button?

Yeah, the rain must've lubricated it...

Or, no one is working this Friday afternoon, everyone is stuck in traffic...

Traced the issue and due to severe weather conditions the microwave link at that location automatically failed over from the primary path to the secondary path.

But this has been happening when cloudy, rain, and sunny :/ I dont think the weather can be at fault on a day when the sun is out and there are no clouds in the sky :?

I traced the example provided and that was the feedback. If it happens at another time please post and I'll investigate.

 

[Mental-Tree]

Ok. I'll watch it over the next week and give feedback every day the I disconnect... So I should be given feedback on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
