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

So far it has taken just over 9 hours to download a STEAM update of 11,5Mb and on 11Mb finally.

But at 6.4kb/s I might as well climb into bed early and get some sleep.
 
Currently an hour and a half into Eve Online Retribution update 521MB of 1.54GB average download speed of 230kB so my connection is good ... yours is poor. Definitely worth of r00igev@@r to give you some real help.
 
In Cape Town I'm getting the following from iBurst's transparent proxy for just about every website I try and access:
504 Gateway Timeout
The following error occurred:
Code:
 A DNS lookup error occurred because the request timed out during the lookup.
Could not open error file[/quote]

I've just called the helpdesk, they are aware of the problem, but don't have an estimate of when it will be resolved.

Update: Looks like it's fixed now.
