Why all webmasters should thank MWEB

[MagicDude4Eva]

<sarcasm>
Despite all the MWEB complaints, webmasters and web-companies should really thank MWeb for their underwhelming ADSL performance and sheer ignorance to fix their network problems. If we all had true broadband (i.e. >300KB on HTTP traffic which is just as rare as spotting an unicorn or leprechaun), our websites would be bloated and sluggish.

Thanks to MWeb, we are now all optimizing our sites to load faster as we know that their whole customer base suffers from a poor broadband experience. Thanks MWeb - although there are now almost 900 complaint pages in the mentioned thread, you unknowingly help us all!

Uhm.. Not all 900 pages are of complaints, y'know. Still not more than a week's hassle in the last year and a bit.

I guess it would be safe to assume that this thread has a faint hint of sarcasm.
Unfortunately it's not just MWEB, sometimes I wonder if we where better off with dial-up, at least you knew what you where getting with regards to line speed.

Hey I can still get max line speed on lots of http downloads (one going right now) >400Kb at any time. I've got a feeling many, many other MWeb subscribers can too but obviously a lot more complain on here.

Left the sarcasm in so you know I get it, but it's pretty confusing.. I've never not been able to get >400Kb at least on some http downloads with MWeb. Yet according to this forum nobody could do that on Mweb but anyways. And it's almost all P2P that I max out too.

i get almost 6mbps from my 4mbps uncapped on mweb. no complaints from me and it's pretty unshaped - even torrents come through fast during the day :/
