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

[Wolfy]

Im having the same problems, i cant get speeds faster then 10 kbs wtf man! Sort it out, i wasted 200 mb in downloads today because of the crappy speeds leading to a timed out connection.

thanks A LOT IBURST!

 

[Jagtiger]

I concur. It became slower recently. Unplayable, can't browse normally and downloads are at dial-up speeds (and below).

Transmission failure nationwide (19-05-2010)-HSDPA

A nationwide transmission failure has occurred (19-05-2010), certain Clients may experience slight service degradation and slow throughput, engineers are currently attending and traffic has been rerouted. This will affect HSDPA clients.

Uncapped adsl is looking very attractive these days

 

[Madhawk]

I experienced a couple of DNS errors today, seems okay now.

EDIT: Spoke too soon, getting DNS errors.

Sorry, haven't responded as I have been busy. There was a notification released from upstream: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthr...and-Latency)&p=3970339&viewfull=1#post3970339

This is iBurst Wireless subs as well.

Packet loss and was just kicked off the network and now I cant log back on. What going on?

 

[The_Techie]

Can't open Google, DNS errors left and right when trying to open Google, MyBroadband, etc. What's wrong and when can we expect a fix?

EDIT: Seems to be working now, momentary hiccup?

I could not connect for about 1-2 hours last night, having some intermittent problems this morning - are you guys aware of any problems (Pta East)?

 

[Qrox]

Iburst really fails as an ISP. I don't think I should even call them an Internet "Service" provider, since the service I've been getting the last 2 weeks has been bad to say the least. The speed is terrible, the latency sucks and my downloads keep keep failing every few minutes since yesterday.

Then theres also the complete iburst network disconnects for the past 3 days. What the hell is going on? It feels like iburst has implemented Internet load shedding....

On the evening of the 25th there was a fault with a metro switch that went into a reboot cycle. The fault with the switch has been resolved.

Please update your location in your profile and I'll assist with your query.
