Screamer ADSL

This is what I want my screamer account to look like (Afrihost)




This is Screamer:

Test 1:

Test2:

Test3:


All within 2 minutes of each other!!! So Unstable. NB: Tested on the same line...

F = FAIL



And Afrihost again:

Hmm ... same crap, different day, now my line went dead disconnected, reconnected and now it says my username/password is incorrect!:mad: Holding on for tech support.. let see how long the take to answer~!:whistle:

Edit: OMF ~ Now I really want to scream, wait for 5minutes for someone to answer and the line goes dead...:mad: second attempt... lets see how that goes

Same thing again... line just goes dead after 5 minutes... this is utter nonsense... the call centre is supposed to be open 10pm!!!

Eventually got through on the WiMax option... seems the moving datacentre's and will be down for the next hour... lets hope it gets sorted, supposed to fix the line speeds as well... well we will be the judge of that wont we...... I really hope they get this sorted out.

my connection operated at 75% of max speed today.
then it just frigging died on me. Screamer is frakking useless.

I dont have the time to phone their crappy call centre.

surely they could bloody well sms us saying it is going to be down for the next hour????????
huh!!!!!!
 
NED et al, why the eff can't you incompetent tossers get on the net before it goes down and SMS us whats going on? You can't just have scheduled mantainance without telling people. Get it together! On the bright side, perhaps this migration will sort out some of the problems. Holding thumbs, cause you have until Friday till I jump this ship.
 
Okay, so something has definitely changed overnight, the three torrents I had queued are finished downloading (1.4GB in total); which is great. But seems browsing is having some problems with latency, speedtest.net says it cannot complete the latency test and a number of sites (including mybb) are timing out/cannot be found. Any suggestions?

I got an SMS... And I cancelled my account more than a week ago now. with an email confirmation of cancellation. my account is still active though... Screamer is useless...
 
I got an SMS last night before the "Upgrade" was to happen. Unfortunately they seem to have broken everything now....



That took over 5 min to run and a bunch of refreshes :( Forget about pingtest... just pops up an error.

How's screamer going overall guys. I am currently on digichilli still and finding it unbearable. I have passed my cancellation to them because i'm fed up with the service and speeds.

Have been looking closely at going for screamer but with the extra money i want to know its worthit.
 
phatboy... they just did a network change / upgrade, and things are broken! some int sites work fine others not. But when its going well it goes very well. On my 512 I can get 4 gig a day at its best. But usually between 2 and 3 gig a day.

Edit: Looking a bit better now!



Still cant run a ping test...

Hi all
Our tests indicate this was a good move. Unfortunately we are still sorting some small bugs. Will keep you updated.

Cheers

Short answer, NO!

SAINET R449 uncapped, worth it. R499 with the line.
 
Any 1 else finding that their bitcommit listening ports are blocked, i have changed to a different one and also updated my firewall to reflect this. speeds are crawling because of it.
 
@ spiraldown > Thats not a bad thing bitcomet sux donkeys balls.. I am testing right now with my utorrent client and low and behold its actually working!!!!! :O) Rather use that and multiple downloads seem to be working to! wohoo!

@ Adrenalin > Sorry bud, but didnt they cut you off for abuse or something... read it on the Sainet thread... to me thats BS and they still testing with some issues already, when the go live next month I fear it will suffer the same fate as Digichill and screamer... I dont wont be premature but so far so good with this move... if they can increase the browsing speeds and downloading speeds to what actually I (we) pay for.... then I have no reason to cancel.

Got my fingers and toes crossed everything comes right now... until they add more users... then we back to square one if they don't understand their capacity... let hope they have learnt by their mistakes.....

Hey Keenyn,

I know Bitcomet does suck, i used to use utorrent until screamer, had to switch as its all that worked, do you know how to convert a bitcomet file thats partially downloaded to utorrent ? or do you think it would be quicker to just download those that are partially downloaded ?

By the way shot for replying to my Q.

have a good evening.
 
Hey Spiral, just d/l the torrent file again with utorrent, add to same directory and force re-check and you can resume from where you were ;)

Laterz
 
Hi Keenyn,

Shot for the info, will remember it in future, i decided to just reload the torrent like your cirrent post showed. But allas download speed didnt even reach over 5kB in total.
Sigh.

laters.
