anyone else finding it?

on a 4 meg line using their 25gb package

apple iphone 4 firmware download peaking at 65kb/s

hotfile download peaking at 13kb/s

and an ftp to our office ftp server on the mtn ns network.. 40kb/s

each tried independantly?!

:mad:
 
Strange. I've been getting full download speeds on my 4meg line for a while now.Averages 400kb/s + via all traffic.Very happy :) Although I am on the Complete 5 package and not the Titan (basically the same- I'm just getting 10gb data where u get 25gb).

How can you say that my post is inaccurate when you are not the one experiencing my line/download speeds? WA might be having serious network issues and blaming Telscum for it, but I am certainly not one of WA's customers receiving this so called 'slow' adsl speeds.When you can actually prove that what i'm saying is a lie, then you can call my post inaccurate.
 
I currently have 9 active WA accounts all experience issues...

What type of information do you require?

Inaccurate does not equal calling you or any other poster a liar - please leave your emotions at home, was referring to post #2

I've 2x WA accounts, both have been experiencing high latency and intl browsing issues. When i switch to Saix uncapped everything works perfectly.

Dude, this won't happen if you use the ''reply with quote'' button that MyBB has so graciously supplied us with. And I don't need any information from you, the sentence was rhetorical....If that wasn't obvious, nothing will ever be.

Basicaly what i'm saying is that i'm not having ANY issues with WA whilst you guys clearly (9 accounts?) have a lot of problems with them. And best of luck getting it sorted out.
 
My home Titan 50gb and our office normal WA account are maxing out at 14kb/s on my Ubuntu upgrade, but our Afrihost backup account is running at 426kb/s. Argh. Most websites are fine, but downloads are being throttled badly.

I logged a ticket, so here's hoping it gets resolved soon.
 
aaaaaaargh - do you know what you're doing to me. I've just signed up with WA:sick:
 
We are having the same issue with slow speeds. I eventually threw my toys out of the cot and got some feedback. They have done some work this morning which will help, apparently so. Dealing with a gentleman called Eldrich who is very good, and honest! I recommend that you guys ask for him when calling WA support.

But seems like my speeds are still the same, terrible! Am monitoring it through the day, lets see...
 
Got a reply saying that there is bad latency on my line and they've logged a ticket with Telkom. I don't understand why my Afrihost backup account is fast on the same line...
 
Hi all,

I can completely understand the frustration and absolute annoyance factor involved within the latency issue that Web Africa customers have been experiencing as of late. Between Ian, Angelo and myself we are working on getting a full, comprehensive report with the listed issues, resolution and what's gone wrong.

Agreeably, this has taken to long to a) resolve properly and b) not communicated from us. Rest assured, there have been huge developments made with this as to where issues will definitely be communicated a lot better as apposed to this one.

More information will be posted as soon as we have the final confirmation from our Engineering team.
 
Yeah, something is definitely wrong with the WA network today. Very erratic.

Also, I've noticed they are throttling the NS during the day lately.

I reckon its a peering issue:

Latency is also killing me today... Trying to work on remote boxes is painful :mad:
 
Just restarted my modem getting far better throughput, not like before but much better one can actually browse the internet and do not have to wait 20 seconds for a page to display...
