web africa crawling

Ye rofl, cant believe they say wow patches - it obviously makes sense to people who know 0 about how ISP's work.

Whats amusing is these patches trickle downloaded over 3/4 weeks.
 
Speed is slow today. And it could be like this for 2 weeks according to WA site. I think I will downgrade my line till this fixed, no point paying for a fast line that is slower than the cheap line.

WA are just poking in the dark, they dont actually know whats wrong.
 
Took about a minute to just open this page!

maybe stop doing windows updates and downloading WOW patches :)

but in all seriousness.. mine is dog slow.. download from hotfile... 12kb/s switch to my telkom account.. same download 85kb/s
 
Hey guys,

Are there still issues this morning? We've noticed a lot less calls, tickets and forum posts surrounding latency - looks much better than last week and yesterday.
Something that has popped up here however are some international issues and timeouts. An example here

Any feedback here is much appreciated :)

Im not using WA anymore, so i cant comment on speed. Perhaps people stopped downloading wow patches ;)
 
My ping and jitter and much improved, as are up and download speeds, yet for whatever reason, most web pages - local and international take ages to load, and I have to more often than not, refresh the page 2, 3 times before it will will eventually load. Here are this morning's tracert results:

Well it's better at the moment but I'm still only getting 0.9 Mb/s on my 10 meg line, so I'm still not a happy customer.
 
Having major browsing issues on webafrica, but mostly to mybb. Most other sites aren't affected. Pages just don't load and end up loading for 2mins+ before I close them and give up.

On a different ISP now just so I can browse mybb.

So much for premium bandwidth...
 
I can confirm the slow page loads, I had to refresh this page a few times before I could even see it.
 
I'm almost at the end of my rope here with WA. They're lucky I've paid a month in advance, otherwise I'd be gone already. This is getting pathetic now
