What's that got to do with uncapped?

Night Surfer hours' usage does not count towards your FUP calculation, e.g. it is "free". You schedule the majority of your non-urgent P2P downloads in this time and your usage bar stays in the green and you do not become a throttled victim.

Highest it ever hit was 80KB/s but mostly averaged 60KB/s

This has improved but it's still not right. Now getting between 150-208KB/s but the traffic is very bursty in nature and fluctuates a lot between those speeds.




Was streaming this fine earlier at 720p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxBzvziYAdk can't do it now, buffers to hell & gone.

Youtube 720p streaming looks fine now, I even tried some other vids and it's performing great.

This still buffers to hell & gone.
I also tried Vimeo stuff and that also buffers to hell & gone.




Torrents during the day I use to get between 150-208KB/s, fluctuating in that range. This is a test torrent I use with 30k seeders. Now I get sweet nothing!

Torrents are still non-existent, getting 3KB/s max.




So some things seem to have improved while others are still crap.

Whatever you guys are doing keep at it and hopefully it will be A-OK soon.

Thanks for that shedeule info .
my Son is always pausing my downloads .They dont Know about restarting even if you downloading somthing for them:D
 
Same problem here, browsing is at a crawl, games are unplayable with ping as high as 2000 in most cases. WTF is going on, for the last week i have been noticing very spotty connections too, often dropping for hours at a time.
 
Hillcrest 4MB line sometimes hitting 100KB/s on local, max 30KB/s on international :( Afrihost/Bitco looking mighty good right now ...
 
Today seems a bit better than yesterday.
Remoted home from work, and started downloading a new ROM off Mega and it's flying at line speed :D
I haven't seen line speed over the weekend in so long I nearly pissed myself!

Will test the streaming when I'm home and later tonight.
Streaming has been non-existent for me on the weekend, I'm hoping for an improvement.

It looks like Telkom doesn't regard weekends as important and bandwidth is limited like on a weekday.
