[Gboss]

Is that plain "Gold Original" or "Gold Original plus Brass Knobs"

Dude, this Gold Original Original. Not Gold Yellow or Gold Brian but Gold Original cousin.
Totally unshaped with a secret contention ratio, optimised for gaming and forums.
Gold Level downloads during business hours with after hours being (and weekends) at Platinum levels!

(Pssst who told you my knobs was brass)

EDIT: I better get that flamesuit out now. If an OW member reads this "Somebody's gonna get hurt. REAL bad" - Russell Peters

Super quick and easy, immediately received an sms with the username and password and now my NZB's are running at speeds I've not seen in months!
So far I'm pretty damn impressed!

Same price... Same Product? Seems someone needs to update their website...

Anyone else getting congestion on the Telkom-Mweb link (affecting my Dota 2 latency)?
I am getting a consistent jump in latency on hop 8.

Im experiencing the downs this month.Couldn't even download 1 gig with my torrents this month.

Ouch.
Have you figured out what the problem is?

 

[Cosmic_Nomad]

Amanzimtoti was about a year ago 4mb max connection from the dslams etc if you checked using the telkom web page.

I put in my telephone number and it now says max speed avalible is 1mb.

All this since makro came to town?

The amazing thing is I had a 4mb line a year ago....

How does the infrastucture go from bad to worse.

Apparently you can't trust that site ito line speed. The info is unfortunately often incorrect.

So stop using Torrents.
I haven't needed a torrent in months.
And yet I have got 290gb.

Don't trust that website, it says the max speed in my area is 1MB. and right beneath that it says your current line speed is 4MB #EPICFAIL

Thanks ! Why not remove the page if it doesn't work correctly, I wonder ?

+1 Agree!

 

[Prophet112]

Okay, so I upgraded to a 4mb line and 4mb Uncapped at the beginning of the month from 2mb/2mb uncapped.
The max download speed I was able to get was around 260Kb/s, with my Afrihost free 1gb I could get between 260-300Kb/s.
I've downloaded 348gb this month and since yesterday early morning I've been throttled to 0.4mbps. Strange thing is my Afrihost download speed is 400-420Kb/s now.

Does 348gb on a 4mb uncapped line constitute abuse?
I've averaged between 300-350gb a month on my 2mb uncapped without getting throttled the previous few months.

Also, not sure but isn't 4mb/10mb lines supposed to be throttled to 1mb?

 

[MickZA]

Also, not sure but isn't 4mb/10mb lines supposed to be throttled to 1mb?

That was my understanding, what criteria other than attainable speed are you using to support the "throttled" statement?
