Using phone to post now as I can't even load mybb. Does anybody know if wa are working on this? There is no alert regarding this at the moment
 
Even if you want to cancel with Webafrica their systems don't let you .
 
What the heck is going on with WA damm cant even login too FNB or even MYBB takes for ages.Never had this problem before.
I'm useing a mweb acc for backup to post this ?
 
I am also having major issues with WA bandwidth. Switched to backup Access prepaid, no issues at all, full line speed.
When is WA going to email us with apology and explanation of when the issue is going to be resolved?
Why do we always have to check on MyBB to see if others are also experiencing problems?

Sigh my download is going at a 50kbps atm on a 8meg line. Yesterday night it went full speed but this morning again this.
 
Just to keep everyone in the loop, latency seemed to be as normal this morning until around 9am when latency spikes where noticed again.
Our Network Team are looking into resolutions on this, should have feedback shortly here guys :)
 
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.

You do realise that's about the most you can expect from a 10 meg line anyway, right?

And hour and half any news yet?

Trying to get a game of steam and its been 3 hours now and the game is only 1.5 gigs.
 
Local sites don't load, international does though. Takes a minute to load a page from myBB, if it loads at all.

This is the BS they sprouted yesterday, none applicable to me:

Some feedback on the network speed and latency issues experienced this week. First off, to clarify this was caused due to two reasons:

1. Packet loss and congestion on Telkom ADSL Exchanges, specifically in the South Suburbs around Cape Town.

2. Increased traffic on our network due to large Microsoft's security updates and Blizzards 5GB update for World of Warcraft.

Despite recent network improvements, this sudden and significant spike in traffic did impact our network. We have some upgrades and improvements planned for the 2 weeks, which we are now in the process of accelerating.

Thank you to everyone who has given their feedback, as always, it is extremely useful. We will continue to provide information as we progress

Yes, well it's supposed to be 1meg guaranteed but the thing is I was sometimes getting 1.3 which was better, now it's even dropping to 0.3 and below sometimes.
 
Browsing on WA is slow during the day for me, then suddenly takes off after hours.
The Mybroadband forum also loads very slow on my WA account. Mybroadband forum loads fine on a prepaid Afrihost account.
