let me guess - you sent these posts via your screamer account. You try sending it the 1st time, it times out and you send again - hence the double post.

I had the same issue recently as well with a PM. Enough to make u sick.
 
What happen that Sp just one post yesterday and offline .

Sp we just awaiting you ."THE BGP IS SLOWLY UPDATING ".WILL UPDATE YOU WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL .IN WHICH YEAR OR MONTH ????
 
Back to dialup

Browsing is terrible. Back to dialup. HTTP downloads are usually fine, but this week has been total hell with downloads too. 10k/s on average. I could get 5-6k on dialup. And that cost me R50 plus R10 per connection. I would connect using Telkom's infinitycall for the whole weekend and download about a Gig during the weekend (torrents and http). With screamer last weekend, I got about a gig too...

Afrihost saved me, just like most of you here. If it wasn't for that account, I would have murdered somebody for my crappy ADSL service. GAAAHHH!!!
 
We back in the era of the early 90s where dial up was so popular that today many of us changed over DSL.Thanks Screamer We back in the saddle with Dialup
Speeds are pathetic and slowwwwwwwwwwww, less to say no update has materialized from Screamer. IT just a few kind words of putting us a ease .

Screamer think we are idiots .

Ease is far off from what we really thinking .This is a quickest way to loose all your clientele .
 
think i am going to change to sainet. Just going to read that forum and check service.
 
I tried you in November and after a week gave up saying I will return when your probs are sorted out. Really keen to support somebody other than Telkom.
Now been a week since my application with you and what waste it has turned out to be. I can not even open basic web pages such as Gmail and Facebook. It takes continual "refresh" to eventually get the page to open. I work on the internet to earn my living and it has been impossible since going live with you. Yesterday I lost $54 because of dropped internet connection.

I have a VPS in USA that I cannot log onto but if I switch to Telkom settings I can get logged on in seconds.

I phoned support numerous times and get no decent answers. In fact this morning I was being asked dumb/ignorant questions and then made to hold on, eventually put the phone down as there was nobody on the other side...WTF??????

I have checked forums and your name stinks out there!!! You reserved the 1st 10 Threads on "mybroadband" and you have posted no recent updates???? so all these problems you experience just does not get acknowledged?????

I expect an intelligent answer when I phone support and a time frame when one can expect service levels to be fully functional. I get asked to do a "speedtest" which on your website fails to load mostly but when it does and I do a speed test then only 2 of 5 tests actually complete due to poor connectivity, yet the tests that complete tell me I am blistering with 350 Download and 109 uploads etc. What a load of crock I tell you...If i run an independent speedtest then it can not even complete due to "time-out".

SO...It is too much to expect the full 384 line speed as per my line's capability? Is it reasonable to expect my connectivity to be without problems on a daily basis? Does this feed come via the Seacom Cable? because there are many references on the forums that says you are conning users and routing via Telkom...please clarify this.

I would really like to have some honest answers here...is that too much to expect too?
 
Cancelled!!!

OKAY! This is definitely NOT a working solution for subscribers like me out there! Your service levels are shocking!

Please cancel my activation and NO, I will not try again in Future. Got scorched twice 3 months apart.
Even without paying you it has been a costly excersize both times in lost revenue and outright losses as a direct result of your failure to provide what you promise.
I do not believe it is 3rd party faults as my Telkom ADSL works without fail day in day out.

I trust you have no intention of debiting my account and that you will cancel this forthwith.

Yours truly

People, please do not fall for this bull****.

BGP propagates globally in minutes. It's not like DNS.

If there is route visibility to screamers ASN then that is the END.

BGP routing will NOT cause speed issues and packet loss. This excuse is a load of nonsense.
 
poorskilly, dude. Read the forums. They havent answered us in ages. Their replies are more like lies to be honest.
 
SAINET does look good, but haevy users may run into trouble with their fair use policy.... Oh, and their data only packages are already available on 384 lines. I'll give screamer a wee bit longer, but if no improvent is seen soon I'm off to SAINET.

Come to think of it - I'm sure I've done 72Gb at least once with Screamer 384 in the last few months (but then speeds were MUCH better).

By major changes YOU MEAN YOU BROKE EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!

If I had people like you working with me, I wouldn't just fire you. I'd fire you. From a cannon. Into the sun.

Catch a god damn wake up. What the hell man..

"We're making changes"

What changes????? Have you ever heard of testing things before you make changes to a production network?
