Hi guys

Anybody else experiencing slow speeds, local and international?

Local (iBurst Speed Test): 956 Kbps

International (Speakeasy): 251 Kbps

ADSL 4 Mbps in Melville
 
My local has been ok but international has been dead since yesterday evening. Seems a little better for now but has been up and down ALOT!
 
Same here in Lonehill, ADSL is up and down alot (mostly down) ... speeds when connecting are about 250 kbps max on a 384 line
 
yes slow here in Western Cape, Worcester as well, local and int.
 
Slow ADSL

:mad:
Yesterday from PE I was unable to connect with UK or US.
Ok to Aussie sites.
Help line didn't know of any problems :confused:
 
same here in durban am using dsl-cache.saix.net:8080 seems to be helping
 
Its a joke here (durban), iburst speedtest - 344kbps on 4mbit *sighs* and international is even worse...
 
Local and international very slow on SAIX.
 
PTA east.

also awoke to slow INT. not sure of it still presists though...
 
3 AM in the morning - set 'em Joe (Hic!)

For boozers - time to go home.

For iBurst users - Load 0, downloads 850kbps+, ping average 48. Great performance - just what you thought you were paying for - just 12 hours out!

All you have to do to get expected usage out of iBurst is use the system when no-one else is!! The problem comes in when everyone realises this and does the same. Then you can get the performance while the sun is shining!!

Then evryone reaises that..........

There's a hole in my bucket, dear henry, dear henry........do you know this one?

Am using SAIX and also having some strange problems with speeds. Some international sites work fine and load at pretty much full speed (40 kilobytes/sec on my 384 line). plenty of sites (international) are not working and it is totally random. i can't access google ???????? it times out and tried a ramdom site like sonyericcson.com and that wouldn't work either.

it seems to be mostly international but some local stuff is acting up too. If it's worth mentioning, my msn hasn't been able to connect the entire day but my skype works fine.
