web africa crawling

Just get back home at around 21.45 - can barely browse - everthing's timing out. Swop to Afrihost and it's all good.

Trace routes from both about a minute apart, WebAfrica first, Afrihost second:

Eww. I've recommended loads of people to WebAfrica - I'm just embarrassed now.

Although I had to swap out my account, it does look like connectivity has picked up again now.
 
"We urge customers who are still experiencing poor browsing and latency issue to please send an email to [email protected] with the following information:
Client Code
ADSL Username
ADSL Password
A trace to mybroadband.co.za and one other slow website."

Why should anyone send their username and password? I'll rather just wait this out, than sending this information through.

Maybe so that WA can check the account to see if they can pick up any problems?

They do not need your Password and ..duh.. you should never give it out – right? Specially not to their “great” support staff. Refer to recent posts of Data Theft on MYBB.

Essentially, providing WA with your Client Code will allow them to identify the MYBB Trouble Users with WA Accounts. Attend to them and they might get a good review.

Could sing you songs here but won't. It would not be sustainable.

This crowd believes in BS’ing their customers beyond believe and are part of the reason why SA has the Fncked up Internet Solutions (No Pun Intended IS ;) that we have.

Hat off to MWEB for what they are doing. Used to hate them, still not using them but getting closer.

WA….Go Fnuck yourselves. Stop bullshjtting your customers.

My 5 cents worth…all I have left after years of getting r@ped by these clowns.

PS: Response from WA with legal Jargon is imminent.

Client Code should be more than enough information. I have called WA numerous times with problems and they always only asked for the Client Code.
I just think that giving out the password is a little dodgy. *shrugs*
 
WA connectivity much better, but not yet solved... (shaping currently too intense)
