Good grief!

I suspect that due the to speed upgrades and mass ISP jumping for cost/performance reasons ranger & the team are battling to fine tune capacity requirements and the QoS.

Don't be surprised if takes a while (end Jan?) for things to settle down.

This I'm afraid.

Pity there is no explicit SLA signed between end user and Telkom, can you imagine the tidal wave of breaches and non-performance cases there would be? (shudder).

I'm pretty sure that scenario is likely, but how can Afrihost seemingly have no problems or at the very least have that degree of variance in performance?

From what I see on MyBB recently they're loosing clients ATM due to cost/performance issues, the snowball that MWeb started rolling is having a knock on effect on all ISPs

Everything running ok here on my 4Mbps line

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3147885904

Have only done about 25 gigs this month though.

 

[DawieZA]

Mine is fine as well: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3147895249

I don't have any problems either but I'm not into gaming or streaming TV.

Torrents, http downloads, RDP support, browsing, Youtube & iPlayer are all fine.

 

[elriconess]

Support only 4 Mbps on a UMC here with ATM backhaul, STM-1.

You use Youtube and iPlayer?
That is commonly referred to as streaming

I've never had a problem with YouTube streaming up to 720P anytime of day. So definitely a QoS and traffic shaping thing going on for some.

Nah, don't get excited, iPlayer Radio - I'm hooked on Radio 4

This is apparently due to peak hours shaping, possibly. HTTP downloads are flying along at 49 Kb/s.

That is not a reasonable level of performance, period.

 

[copacetic]

Okay, downloads are better now, but it prompts me to ask YET AGAIN:

So, I'm still unclear - On the 10 meg package, will your ISP speed (Telkom ISP), match your sync speed (as close to ten as can be)?

Can someone please, for the love of god, answer this?

Why do I ask?

Look at your router stats for the up and down speeds?

 

[copacetic]

Look at your router stats for the up and down speeds?

Look at my Afrihost result - The line is syncing at 8.

*edit*

 

[Electric]

Is that your router stat page with Afrihost login details?

 

[copacetic]

Nope, Telkom.

 

[Unhappy1]

copacetic i actually dont know what question you're trying to ask? Your line syncs at 8 and you have the 10 Mbps package? Have you tried asking them to resync your line to 10, is it unstable at 10?

 

[Hectic]

I think he wasn't happy with the 428 kB/s download, which are 4Mbps speeds.
