Thanks Jeff

Further to Techead's comment - any ideas on when the seacom issue will be resolved? He could have a valid point, as it does seem to have really hit WA networks indirectly.

this is what I was thinking. im sure that many ISP's have found alternate routes etc etc but you cant really expect the level of service to be comparable. Im seeing multiple threads with people going bananas... seems a bit silly when seacom is down

i dont even bother them when seacom is down... sure it will come right :confused:

i bother telkom instead :)
 
Currently got buffering on a 400 Kbps BitGravity stream on a 4 Mbps account/line.

Groan. I can't win.
 
4 meg line here, seems fine.

I can not access my iTunes store account - says could be connection issues or timed out. Would this have anything to do with these various WA issues?

I think your issues are more related to the DSLAM/Exchange your ADSL line is on than its to do with any ISP.
 
It was dead slow this morning. Couldn't even stream Radio 5 without 30 sec buffering. That's on a 4m line.
 
Slow at the moment.

Btw Jeff, don't pass on my details to your support staff, it's pointless. You network has slow downs and by the time they phone me it is fine again.
 
I've been keeping an eye on this thread and it seems like everyone is having issues with WA!
I recently upgraded to a 4MB line from 384 and this is what my speed test looks like http://www.speedtest.net/result/1545433180.png , supposedly WA has sorted it out almost 3 times now but still getting crappy speeds. The strange thing is I can suddenly get my full line speed when downloading a torrent or from WA's news server, so Im getting hectic extremes in speed! Any thoughts from the members of this thread or do you experience similar issues?
Thanks!

DL+ was not working too well this morning. I scheduled just under 10 gigs to be download (5 hours worth on a 6 meg line) and only managed just over 9 in the time. It was not downloading at a constant speed - very erratic
 
Connection died again for 10min on saturday and latency shot thourgh the roof switched to telkom account problem fixed.

Why does my connection with WA keep dying for 10-15min? and when iam mean die, my connection stays connected it does not drop the pppoe i just cant surf or do anything on it even after a restart of my router. AT this point i usually switch over to my telkom account and switch back to WA an hour or 2 later.

I have reported this to tech support but they just seem to ignore the issue so i have kinda just given up, will proberly cancel WA soon as my telkom account has been more reliable and has more bandwith at half the cost of wa

Kinda half expecting Webafrica just to ignore this, i have sent wajeff a few messages but i normaly just get the big ignore
