Astraweb EU server
I also use this and one day things were going a bit slow so also connected to Astraweb.com and then my speeds picked up a lot. Not sure if this will help you or if it was just a bad day for me

No issues at the moment. Have you contacted our support team so they troubleshoot the matter?

Speed tests show that my line is matching the IS average for a 20Mb VDSL line, i.e. just under 15Mb.
I can't remember when I last used P2P, so to answer your question: at the moment it is only NNTP that is slow for me.
At present - 14h37 on Friday the 3rd April (a public holiday) I am getting 37Kb
NB: The speed increases to about 250Kb after 17h00 - normally around 18h00

Ok, so I have gone and tested the account which WA provided on April 1st. On that day I tried using the account, and it won't establish and PPP connection, try and contact your support on the phone and the only message I got was something along the lines of "We are having problems with our line between JHB and CPT, our engineers are working on it." Alright fair enough.
Now come today, you have said it is completely fine and working, so I go and test the account again, and it is still not working. After that I try call support again and get the exact same message from 2 days ago.
I can't comprehend or understand why you have said it is working completely fine, yet I test it, and it won't work. I go try the call centre, and its the same message implying the problem has not been fixed, contradicting what you said.
Im so disappointed with WA and I haven't even opened a web page while using it.

Can't open most websites, especially overseas. Had to log into my free FNB account to be able to browse.
There is definitely a problem with only WA.
