UUNet uncapped worst ADSL ever?

300-400ms pings to international destinations are GOOD pings, not bad, I've been getting extremely good pings all morning (a stark change from before when they would be through the roof), it's obvious that UUNet has done something, and whatever they've done has been for the better.
 
At present moment I am very happy with the pings and the speed, not to compare what was happen last monday. Today it is just good.

:eek: that could've been me about 1 month ago in the orginal thread started by our friendly Cerberus- after hearing about caps & stuff I got a little :confused: at one point & could not remember if it was unshaped or uncapped... Comeon Telkomonopoly when do I find out about my ADSL application...

Back to UUNET ADSL UNCAPPED, there is a concurrent session limit of 1 on UUNET as well...?
(i.e. similar to Antowan's AYCE testing)
 
Originally the service was Unshaped when I tested it(had one of the first test accounts before it even got to the ISP's) however probably after seeing their network usage fall over they decided to put some shaping on the ports to make the package more "business friendly". I wanted to let people know on their options, use it,don't use it, I gave as much information as I could at the time :) I hope they sort out the DBN line... but right now I'm worried about telkom, I got home... and my connection dropped dead, no account is working, not my Saix or my UUnet account and try to call telkom durning lunch.. I dare you! :) still waiting.

UUNet only has a single concurrent session, yes (1 user only per account), it's going fast, and pings seem pretty stable (bandwidth issues seem to have been resolved). World of Warcraft this weekend was 300ms (better than uncapped 3GB ADSL) and this morning was about 500ms (way better than uncapped 3GB ADSL).
 
as of saturday, 2005-03-12 I had excelent pings with uunet again.

However I am not sure if its still shaped, cause I accidently started my torrent downloads while conencted to uunet (i wanted to download with telkom account) and it went 44k/s+

Last time I used a test account it was about 4k/s...

Anyhow its monday and pings still look good, I am damn glad they fixed whatever problem they had.
 
My torrent runs like a marvel....in between 45 - 50. That was never the case before....

UUNET fixed their problem. I am glad.
 
please correct me if I am wrong ?

but do they not uses there standard peering lines ? to transit the bandwidth ? or do they have to put there own ATM into place to connect into ?
 
It goes like this as far as I know:

ADSL Modem => Telkom DSLAM =>Telkom BRAS => Telkom ATM Network => ISP ATM Network => Internet
The interconnect between the Telkom and ISP ATM networks does not go via normal peering links, its a dedicated link specifically for this.

I also suspect that they only interconnect in JHB, which is going to make things worse for folks in CT, DBN etc, who are used to Telkom accounts that interconnect regionally.
 
I am suprised by the lack of service from UUNet. I would suggest contacting there Helpdesk and speaking with Dale (Helpdesk Manageress) explaining of unhappy service.
 
Ok its now wednesday, and still so far stuff is going good on my uunet account. Now about that BT speed I got, I think local shaping might have been lifted on uunet adsl, and moved to only international shaping, because local torrents sure as hell go the full speed, while international torrents still do about 4-25k/s down, although they do 52k/s up...

Pings local are still great, about 20-30ms on SGS, but WoW pings seems to be going a little higher than they used to...

Last night they were 800ms+- on Shattered Hand US server
