Web Africa ADSL general feedback

[Wyzak]

Hi Jeff,

Please see my post #1519

Ditto on the closing the WA RedAfrica account as soon as other ISPs can more or less match the data allowance for the same price.

Every time I do a speedtest on WA's network, it is like watching an olympic weightlifter struggling immensely with the weight, while the other ISPs lift it and keep it steady above their head.

Really sick of this nonsense.

Not great to see you're having issues. Have you reported anything to our ADSL guys for a look into?

Hi WAJeff,

I PMed my account details to you.

I am not able to log into steam at the moment. Stuck at "Connecting Steam account: xxx..."

I did ask earlier in the thread but I think it was missed.

Has WA considered getting a POP in Gauteng to help us folk not in slaapstad to get lower local latencies?

Same. Watched [or tried to, but gave up] a 360p youtube vid and it was sitting on 30KBps (1Mb line).

 

[biometrics]

Video also buffering badly for me.

 

[mrlgm007]

10mb line and you tube streaming sucks .... @least i am not the only one..

WA Sucks balls latley, I am cancelling with them and going to pay more for less GB, but i will be happy.

I must admit, streaming Youtube is always a pain for me on my 6mb line.
