Why?

My iburst connection on Mars seems to be much more stable than your one on Venus?
 
No idea.

But I must say I almost never experience this, I only have downtime when my tower is down which isn't very often. And half the speed of dial up I have never really experienced, that week in CPT a while ago was bad, but not a frequent thing at all.

Sounds like some people just get a k4k connection out of iBurst, must be that JHB is worse... I would say whats your signal and where are you etc but im sure you've got that all sorted by now.
 
I think it might be your networking settings. I have 4 network cards (yeah I uhh...I like network cards) and find switching between them and fiddling with my settings causes MAJOR differences.

I was getting disconnected CONSTANTLY from p2p, IM and other internet apps but then just refreshed my TCP/Ip settings picked a random card and I haven't had a problem since. (Asside from my woes with the hub)

What is the signal strength you are getting? Where are you located?

it's better if he gives those info, as we can then see what his situation is...

it's getting irritating when ppl report bad exp but doesn't give their situation.

I chose Iburst for speed and reliablility.

What am I paying for if I am off for hours on end or have a connection of half a dial up 56K modem? Pls tell me what exactly I am paying for?:mad:

Grandmistress or no: You pay for

No Telcom
No lightning over copper
Cheaper than GPRS / 3G & etc

iBusrt is hard work unless you luck into a 0 load, 1 km distance tower with -60db signals.

Have you done your homework in terms of - network settings?(MTU), UTD sweet spot? antennea?

Yes I agree. Some people don't realise that they may have poor signal in their area, or they don't place the modem correctly to get the sweet spot.

In response to first post: Move your modem close to a window to get the best signal.
