Did some testing last night as I wondered if they might have upgraded my current 6Mbps to 8Mbps ahead of the MSAN roll out - no such luck
Anyway I found I was getting bad speeds using rangers manual DNS recommendations, 196.43.46.190 & 196.43.42.190, so I switched to automatic DNS (196.43.54.190 & 196.43.38.190 are assigned) and speeds returned to normal. Speeds still good when I tested just now.
Thx Mick.
Will give it a go.
The speeds are not terrible, but not getting more than 360kB/s from HP (drivers)

My connection is very solid for months now.
I'm a bit down on speed according to the various speedtests( 300 - 500kbps), but will change the dns servers as Mick suggested.
I have a couple of drivers that are busy with downloading and then will change the servers.
Overall very happy with my TI account.

Anyone that has received the upgrade care to give some positive feedback?
Easiest solution is to use firefox or chrome. Search google for Mediahint plugin. Install plugin for browser firefox or chrome obviously depending on your browser. Now you can watch from netflix and hulu.
Unfortunately there's no plugin for IE.

I wish my Firefox can find my internet connection. Just crashes with can't find internet messages. Uninstalled it. Very sad. Best browser I've had.

You using avast internet security? It likes to sandbox your browsers (go figure) effectively killing them. They can't connect to the internet.

Why can't big downloads (HTTP) through the browser not complete without being interrupted?

How big?
Also had big http downloads fail, but thought was the download server.
Tried to do full Autopatcher download, but it kept on failing.

You should give dta oneclick a try.
Seems to work better than the standard download.

Was downloading Ubuntu 13.10
My line speed is also very intermittent from 3.5 Mbps to 1 Mbps, don't know what's happening here. They say my line can't get upgraded because my UMC doesn't support higher speeds.
Looks like the Telkom new sever is being shaped. For 2 days in a row I started a download at bout 2pm and it ran at full line speed (440kbps).
Then suddenly at 6pm exactly the speed starts jumping up and down between 20kbps and 300kbps.

Got the exact same. During the evenings and night, it runs between 100-200kBps, but during the day it runs at 420kBps. Fine with me, though, downloads can chug along while I'm at work
