[Pooky]

I switched to Afrihost, it's slightly better.

 

[copacetic]

Okay, sorted after port reset.

 

[xrapidx]

What/who do you call for a port reset? And what options do you have to push to get through to the right person?

Dunno if these show anything unusual...

YouTube is practically unusable though, and one thing I upgraded to Telkom 2mb was so I could stream YouTube at a decent quality, but from day one I have had nothing but problems with YouTube. It just stops buffering randomly, or loads super slowly.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Yeah definitely something going on. Streaming video is terrible at the moment - everything from Youtube to Netflix. Tried resetting ports but no joy.

 

[MickeyD]

Limited DL speed to 1Mbps

Playing this video with no buffering...

[video=youtube;uq-gYOrU8bA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq-gYOrU8bA[/video]

 

[Gibson]

Also very slow with me in East London. Downloads are crawling...

Maybe there's a problem on their network, for the first time in a while torrents are flying during the day for me. Maybe the hiccup cutting off S.A was a massive screw up on their systems and hasn't been sorted yet

 

[digitalp]

My 4 Meg connection profile for some strange reason is now running at 10meg. Everything is fine here except NNTP and streaming.

 

[jeanres]

feels sluggish here, just got 10Mbps uncapped.

 

[jeanres]

HTTP Downloads are also sucking! Where do you check shaping etc...?

 

[jeanres]

ok its only international issue .57Mbps on 10Mbps line

 

[diane7]

Limited DL speed to 1Mbps

Playing this video with no buffering...

[video=youtube;uq-gYOrU8bA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq-gYOrU8bA[/video]

Thanks just played this no Buffering a couple of hicups . Now I have to download this clip cant get it out of my Mind

 

[Wackyza]

International speeds are shocking atm. Can't watch hulu atm. Constant buffer. :O
