Slow International?

[Lycanthrope]

Hey, I'm on 4mbps, 3GB cap... My international is KILLING me... I'm in the Bellville/Durbanville/Cape Town region... Anyone else having slow international? Or am I just having one of those days?

Internet Solutions here very on off for me in CT, confirmed. Bad weather ATM.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Yeah, it's decided to speed up for me again as well... It annoys me... -.-"

It's ruining my Garfield reading

Edit: By the way - love the rain

 

[zerofivetwosix]

Also very slow on this side, International that is. Also in Durbanville, Cape Town.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Hmm... Think we could call it a conspiracy? Ahh well, at least I know I'm not alone Thanks guys ^.^

 

[gregmcc]

I think it is a conspiracy! D'Ville here as well and int is slow

 

[PostmanPot]

Fscked here in Wynberg

 

[Lycanthrope]

Urgh... I take back what I said - I'm slow again... This is driving me nuts - I can't even use Skype - it's constant static.

 

[Scorpion]

Yeah, it is not at all great for me either, am just on the other side of the hill from you Durbanville guys

in durban on Saix..... frikken slow....

tilskim is the most useless piece of schmidt I have ever had the misfortune to deal with.

My "up to" 4Mb line is constantly running at "up to" 4Kb for the last month - with occasional 2Mb spikes - for a couple of minutes at a time.

Calling the dreaded "helpline" results in them sending yet another "technician" to test my line - even after I tell them time and again it is not my line - I get consistantly good pings of sub-15ms to saix. It's the browsing that's the problem.

I think it's a major DNS cock-up. I don't think they have one single person on their staff who understands DNS.

 

[Lycanthrope]

I agree with you TheREV... My torrents haven't gone past 4KB/s either... It's ridiculous... Normally I download at over 100KB/s at least... But it's only been since today... so far... I'm hoping it clears up by morning.

 

[gregmcc]

don't hold your breath - don't you know telkom don't work on Fridays

 

[jeppe777]

any one else experiencing pathetic Int traffic?

How Slow Can You Go

Almost at a standstill, Vredekloof Brackenfell.

 

[Tux]

Int traffic semi-stable here in PTA
sometimes it goes, sometimes it crawls...

 

[retromodcoza]

Not again....

Crawling at 14.5kbps international.....durban saix

 

[floomby]

Durban SAIX
It goes fine then dead ... even on some south african sites. Maybe they're hosted internationally?

 

[Sig_ZA]

Very slow. PE (using WA).

 

[floomby]

oh ya. Using WA unshaped. Who's at fault, telkom, SAIX, the isp?
