Hi All
I was just wandering how MWEB is doing at the moment...(SPEEDS<ISSUEs<FEEDBACK)
I decided to cancell my current 512 account wit DC and switch over to MWEB uncapped home use option but want to make sure IM doing the right thing.......obviously 4meg is better than 512 "But we live in SA" so Im not sure how good the 4meg users are doing.
My Experience with Digichilli was weird...
Speeds were on and off, disconnections, no communication from them etc...
Here is some of my stats from DC, i would appreciate some feedback from all who check out this thread...
Cost involved:
Telkom ADSL line rental 512k: R326
Digichilli monthly EFT deposit: R400 so far (20% discount since Jan 2009)
Total:R726
comparing to MWEB
MWEB All Inclusive
Includes both your uncapped data and ADSL line rental
R899 per month
Speeds general:
HTTP was fairly good in the beginning
downloading say, a youtube video using DAP(download accelarator plus)
Jan:50kB/s+ avg
Feb:40
Mar:35
Apr:20
Torrents were just a nightmare
Using UTorrent 2.0 and Bitcomit a few times
up and down...at the beginning from 5kB/s - 63kB/s
Current avg speeds is 16kB/s
Example: downloaded a 5.24GB torrent
started at 2010/04/12 12:49 am ended at 2010/04/15 10:27
They contacted me and told me that its not working correctly
I should get about 40kB/s + (after hours as its also shaped)
Gaming - Tried left 4 dead 2...a bit laggish but could play without disconnects (Utorrent closed)
Ping was about 300-500ms (internasional Servers)
HON - using SAIX servers very good ping (20 - 40ms)
Countersrike Source (Non Steam) - Keep getting kicked on some of the servers because of high ping
Streaming
Youtube videos - about 2-3min to load (off and on)
Music (Radio channels) - Stuttering
Mail - no probs
Browsing - Had a few issues but not that bad
Skype - Voice only, not bad
IM - Great, a few disconnects
Currently standing on:
Cumulative Totals for April 2010
Combined (Bytes) 40+GIG
40 665 041 828
