Well, in my case the issues with https, Skype jitter, etc persisted well until I went to bed (after 01:00). So I'm going with 24/7

Not getting full speed. Downloading a file thats going at 20KB/s on 384. Plus the https sites sometimes have to be refreshed before they load.
I'm also nowhere near the threshhold. Dont know whats going on.

Yeah, definitely an issue with the HTTPS sites. It doesn't matter whether it's Steam, Twitter, Facebook, Gmail; if it uses HTTPS it'll have an issue....
Pleeeeease fix!

4Mbps Home uncapped account syncing at 3Mbps
Gaming. Pings to the international servers remin correct when looking at them but the actual data coming through feels like it is congested and getting bad latency. Also line keeps dropping out. When play local Wage servers doesn't seem to be any issues
Nope
Nope. don't download - use the account mostly for gaming
24/7
Currently using my Afrihost account which is working fine
Come on Web Africa. I am a huge fan and have been kind of disappointed since the SAT3 cable break
I don't think and highly doubt these guys would blatantly lie. I think it might be more a case of over-confidence in the product's ability and now that more users are connecting, it is strugdling with the capacity of the network.
I've got my money on teething problems, WebAfrica is a company I will give the benefit of the doubt when it comes to things like this. This is something that affects me too and I'm confident WebAfrica will come up with a solution.I'm hoping for teething problems (as with most new products) as the cause of the problems for those that have them. Also hoping they get sorted by early next year so I can sign-up

Look, it's nothing huge, otherwise I would've gone back to my OpenWeb Gold account. The quality is by far excellent, speeds are nominal, the support is both professional and courteous and my latency in games is the best it's been yet.
The HTTPS issue is just a hassle that can easily cause problems (like when buying something online
). And today, video Streaming seems to be perfect and I'll see how Skype is later today.So far I'm very happy. For R600pm I really just want "perfect" outside of throttling but that's unlikely to be possible on a consumer uncapped product in South Africa any time soon.

Hey guys,
Sorry for being a little quiet today. Been sitting with a whole stack of people in the office gathering all the info that's been posted here.
From my understanding, we'll be doing some work on the weekend on this and have almost pin-pointed the issues.

Just had a chat with Tim, our CEO - it's a little embarrassing, but it seems as though a lot more accounts become active from yesterday slowing things down a little bit.
As I mentioned in my post above, we're provisioning a lot more bandwidth for Monday, and things are expected to get better for this weekend. Will keep everyone posted when I get more updates

Way too many companies hugely underestimate the enormously positive response they will receive by being honest, and not treating their customers like imbeciles.
