Screamer ADSL

I have an open ticket on their system that I keep posting my dismay on! I spoke to two guys yesterday, 3 phone calls all answered by humans... believe it or not! The first layer of support is very basic, they just log and pass on.... I was told that there should be some better performance by the end of today. But it has been even worse today than yesterday. Everything died briefly earlier again... So we sits and waits.... My 384 line at home has been useless, my 512 line here at work is like dialup... But oddly enough if you download with a manager it gets decent speeds. But trying to get a page to open to find a download is the big problem...
 
"some better performance by the end of today".Promises Promises Promises

Let see how that materializes .It been badly the whole morning already thus far .agrhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
Anything would be better performance to be honest, so not a hard promise to fulfill...
 
I demanded a refund as I was able to use a total of 102mb for R399 that is so expensive I feel like vomiting! I have emailed them but no reply. I WILL take them to court if they debit me again! Then I sue for damages!

Everyone has complained on this forum and have tried to do so by calling them.

And at this point in time realise the futility of it all. Nothing happens, no comments, no updates, no explanations. Zilch.

And so people vote by walking away.

Off late I dont have the time to phone them - i think that If I didnt have Afrihost as a backup then I would go crazy and then actually call them 10 times a day.

For me, dloading seems to be fine still - just browsing is worse than my old 28.8k US Robotics sportster voice.
 
I agree with unwired, and I have seen it work damn well. I just hope they can get it up again. +1 for Afrihost (used my initial 1gig plus topped up twice 4gig for R58)
 
Upstream issues

Hi,

Our upstream SP has had an issue with their International connectivity and have routed to a back up however the BGP is updating slowly. We will let you know as soon as all is operational.
 
Question for S P... why then is local slow?

Convenient.... He goes off-line after I pose the question. hmmm....

Got my account after 28days. Amazing. Sadly I cant browse anything. WOOPTIDOO MAN THIS WAS WORTH IT... Back to my Telkom account I go.
 
this just gets worse and worse... Im being forced to use my phones GPRS as my screamer account is dead. My GPRS connection is actually faster than my screamer account!! Well done screamer, you have just won an award for the worlds most ****ed up company!!
 
so dead, again... Think I've use more bandwidth on my backup Afrihost account than my Screamer one... Fix this **** for ****s sakes or at least give us the decency of knowing what is wrong!!!!
 
So anyway, just got home. Couldn't even receive a 1mb email. I feel powerless. Now i need to go spend more of my hard earned money on Afrihost... Thanks alot screamer.

Fun. Web browsing running at a whole 0.5 - 1 kB/s.
 
Looks like Screamer have gone out of business. Or at least that looks like their plan.
