I'm trying to d/l a 100mb torrent at the moment. Running over 8KB/s consistently. Saw 10.1KB/s a few minutes ago. w00t! Projected time is just over 3 hours.

I know it's not the most efficient way to d/l 100mb, but I've got some airtime to burn.
 
Lol... I downloaded from the IS news server at 387KB/s a few minutes ago :D
Granted it doesn't happen often.!
 
The pessimist in me tells me your not on a VM connection.

Anybody know how to check the VM airwindow/expiry date?
 
There's a Virgin Mobile menu somewhere on your phone. On some models it's under "Phone and Office Tools", under "Entertainment" for others. You can check your airtime from there as well as transfer airtime, order by credit card, etc.
 
Well, after a good start to the night, VM has now gone into stop/start mode. Which (i say with calmness) is irratating beyond god knows what.
 
This is racking me off. Having to reloead page now for it to come up.

Bye.

Have airtime to burn?! Why dont you send some of that unburnt airtime over to this side? ;)
VM is DEAD here at the moment. :(
 
Hi Everyone,

Due to previous call Congestion issues, upgrades in effect already should make this weekend a much better one for Virgin customers. Please ensure that your set your phone to roam on Virgin or Cell C depending on how it appears on your phone, any other config will result in performance issues.

Please would you let me know what the GPRS experience is like given the comments above.

Regards,

Gerald.
 
No GPRS signal were I am... has been that way since yesterday, in fact have been posting on a notebook running Vodacom 3G (very nice BTW)

This is not good
 
Fine since this smorning although i dont have cellc or virgin roaming options.
 
Had people phone me to ask what is going on... why do I get the feeling that this is not going to be sorted out until next week

I would like to know what is going on, something with a bit of detail, no just up-grading or working on it
 
..Boodles waits for the evening time when VM internet goes on strike...

There have been a few of us that have been regularly complaining lately, becuase internet not working.

Whilst my 'case' is being looked into, what about the others from here that also have same probs as me?

VM reps, dragonlogos needs help, as do a few others.

You guys (vm staff) give us official 'downtime', times, but we are experiencing no interent on a daily basis lately - whats with that?

We have plenty of VM reps here, which is really good, but we need them to be a bit more proactive/informative.

VM interent, has been good today.
 
VM are aware of the problems - which probably explains why they are very quiet on the forum.

I spoke to one of the VM reps in Musica recently and he said for him it has been perfect. Never seen any problems and doesn't know what the fuss is all about. Fascinating .... that's all I can say.
 
Well GPRS is still out - Cellc network is permanently busy - Vodacom taking strain - MTN working
