Terrible speeds on mweb

Durban. 4mbps line.

I get full speed to Durban/JHB but...

Anybody else having a problem?

Bad latency on Cybersmart as well.

I've been having GREAT speeds on MWEB. This weekend RS was going as fast as 400KB/sec. Right now going at 230KB/sec.

Game latency is just sky-rocketing today. Allocating game space to torrents?

The traffic graphs on JINX and TENET-SEACOM have spiked upwards since this afternoon:
http://stats.jinx.net.za/
http://monitor.net.tenet.ac.za/cacti/graph_view.php?action=tree&tree_id=6&leaf_id=874
Could be the lousy weather in Cape Town, or many factors...

I know JINX is not the same as MWeb, but I have found it to be a good proxy. The more traffic on JINX, the more complaints about P2P speeds on MWeb...

1) pick up phone
2) dial 0860 11 22 52
3) get problem solved
4) ????
5) hopefully get rid of every 3rd thread on mybb being about how slowly people can download warez and browse youtube

 

[mister]

Wrong. I have already tried mweb support and got some idiot who thinks the problem is my end.

Yeah right!!

Standard response, you have spyware and malware, then check speedtest.net with the obvious 'you see, nothing wrong' comment afterwards.

The problem is NEVER on their side!!

Have you tried a different account?

 

[mister]

Have you tried a different account?

Yes. Full speed on WebAfrica

I fear its about to get worse! MWEB Uncapped, Unshaped --- trouble is brewing.

Ok i'm also getting terrible speeds but surprisingly they get better whenever i play cod4 online!! I don't understand it!! my speeds sit under 10KB/s then as soon as i play it jumps up to 100KB/s +, then when a new map loads or i exit the game they drop again!!

I dont understand it!

 

[Nerhzelok]

Right now I'm getting 200KB/s for a single torrent. Best I've had for a while. Youtube videos are also loading very nicely (720p that is).

 

[DuckieZA]

I'm currently getting 441KB/s at the moment, HTTP download on a 4mbps line. Nothing wrong with that ...

Not too impressed with mweb so far

Downloading a torrent and its pants on mweb 384 averaging about 3-4kb/s - switch to old Hellkom account and get full line speed averaging 35kb/s



First day on mweb & loving it ;-/

They are shaping uncapped heavily (including messing with ping) in order to sell a new product. Sneeky.
Now there's no incentive for them to improve 384. Fsuckers!

Tanya35, have you considered leaving Mweb?! You really don't like them and you seem to have a lot of issues with them. I really think you'll maybe find happiness somewhere else. I just don't like to see another human being so upset.

There's a whole lot to choose from!
