Yes.
It's really weird, I could ping no problem and do speed tests no problem, but couldn't visit other sites or do any http downloads.

Don't you love it when people complain but provide no comparative info?

The only thing I have against WA is their flakey DNS servers.
Use IS's ones, hang on let me check what that is:
168.210.2.2
196.14.239.2

You do know that nowadays that's the DNS servers that WA hand out when you set to auto? In the past it used to be different ones.

Really? I didn't, thanks for setting me straight. I haven't used WA since they had their own IPC.
I only assumed that because the last time WA had DNS issues, me, as an IS customer not through WA, didn't experience the same problems so assumed they used different servers.
Sorry
as they say:Assumptions are the mother of all ****ups

Getting horrendous speeds and packetloss... and this is on a 10mb line.

Must say my latency to US has increased from 250 to 350ms - second day now. Not great when I read reports of others battling too
What is happening WA helper?

The only thing deprioritised on capped is P2P and NNTP during Business hours.
What protocols are your noticing are slow?
Just one Home Capped? What about Business Capped? (not Business Pro)

It's not deprioritised as much on a Business Capped account so it should be perform as close to full speed as possible.

Torrents. But I only download from 12am till 6am.
After hours seems fine but wasn't able to test during office hours. Will see over the next few days
Thanks so much

Hi Convex,
Thats very strange as 12-6am is always the time where torrents should fly. You might need to look at optimising your torrent client as there no issues with our network at the moment. Check link to get more info on optimising your torrents here.

Most definitely is continuing... This is absurd
Download Speed: 267 kbps (33.4 KB/sec transfer rate)

I thought the point of CAPPED was full speed and not worrying about throttling, these speeds are atrocious. I've sent a PM.
