Here are some suggestions:
Reload this web page later.
Check your Internet connection. Reboot any routers, modems or other network devices that you may be using.
Add Google Chrome as a permitted programme in your firewall or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted programme, try deleting it from the list of permitted programmes and adding it again.
If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure that the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to the spanner menu > Settings > + Show advanced settings > Change proxy settings... > LAN Settings and deselect the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox.
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

Or it could just be me hogging your bandwidth since I am closish to you :)

P.S. Bursty-dude I must thank you for complaining so much - reduces my need to worry about doing it :) and I must be honest I don't have nearly as many issues as you have and I am pumping the pipes dry...

So, Mel... Any other bold claims?

JHB, MTN Business:


JHB, Vodacom:


Midrand:


My location: Brackenhurst, Alberton

Nothing worse than companies blatantly LYING to their customers.

Are you sure Mel's statement was in response to your query?

To my eyes it was a blanket statement at the time.

Just frustrated. My signal is 100% (it does not even budge), FER tonight is less than 1%. Yet speed is horrible.

But, hey, the iBurst call centre gives me the same tune: "There are no errors logged, but we will investigate."
 
My happiness was short lived. Again. For about the 20th time since November last year.......

How's the latency on this, not to mention the "speed":

Been like this since yesterday afternoon.
 
Let me just add a little something directly from their website:

"Vision

To provide our customers with quality services for global connectivity in the South African market."


So, how about we get the speed we pay for then? It is all fine and well that we get nice amounts of bandwidth, but how the heck can we use it up when we get next to useless download speeds?
 
This is my results for today:

The ping is higher and dl is lower than what I normally get, but over all I'm happy with Iburst. They always respond when i contact them and always reply when on email.

To the people complaining, have it ever crossed your mind that when iburst states that their is no problem at their end, that it is actually true, and the problem is at your end?

Maybe I'm wrong, but my results clearly shows that iburst is working, well for me at least :) .
