Thanks for derailing this thread. The point is not to advertise anything, just to post your results. *sigh*

Ok some of the issues reported here could be minimised or eliminated by using FreeProxy.

For those not so clued up, check out the forum threads in my signature. It wouldnt hurt to try and solve some problems with trying FreeProxy.

More people should post their results here hopefully soon, so we can get a broader image of whats going on.

ISP: SAIX
PROBLEMS: Very unstable. International pings sky high!
 
AREA: West Rand, Johannesburg
ISP: Axxess
PROBLEMS: Intermittent timeouts - ostensibly due to DNS lookup failures and prevalent on international sites, particularly during the day - could be traffic congestion on the international pipe...

Maybe you didnt understand your own rule.... It would've helped if you didnt start advertising your freeproxy thing. *sigh*
 
Hi MrBEEP if you have soar ballz about something keep it away from this thread please, I dont know what your going on about, please just go play in a new thread or your own thread or another forum. Its really not that complicated to understand this: This Thread is not for Advertising, OK?

PS. Advertising my freeproxy thing? What the hell does that have to do with this thread or the fact that your hard hearing and simply want to make this situation difficult now?
 
Clipse and MrBeep, You are both being Childish.

No advertising means having no advertising in your signatures as well.

Now be good little children, and remove your advertising signatures/footers.

OTHERWISE KEEP QUIET.
 
Toby fair enough but thats unrelated to this thread yet again, I didnt ask that much from MrBEEP but clearly he simply doesnt care. So be it, lets derail all threads and see how much fun this website becomes?

WyldCyde, what publicly available Non SAIX DNS Servers are you using.
SAIX DNS is sick - SEE DNSREPORT on Saix DNS Servers
 
I love how you contradict yourself...lol I'll go and play somewhere else, your replies are getting boring and repetitive.
