1. what are you downloading...
2. where are you downloading from...
3. has it always been like this?
4. Did you reset router?
5. Did you call and get your ports reset?
6. did you call at all?

Seriously I am trying to download a HTTP file and with a download manager it is coming in at a super speed of 100B/S
WTF am I paying for a 4MB line and a 4MB account then?
Dude I have had it too, cancelled today, currently downloading from HTTP from my company webside at a staggering 17kB/s and its 19:35 in the evening. Note, it's also a 4mb uncapped shaped line
Why does one need to phone a company your paying a good lot of money to reset your ports?

That bit is Telkom's job not MWeb's btw, and I suppose you're simply in the best position to tell when something's gone wrong. They just won't pick it up immediately for every line in the country.

1) I am downloading an update for my Mac.
2) From Apple
3) No otherwise I would have cancelled MWEB again.
4) Yes of cause
5) No but I did change to my capped adsl backup account and it flies
6) Yes I did actually and apparently there is no problem? So I must obviously be making it up along with the rest of the users with issues.
I never get over 250K

Thank you MWEB, I just want to say thanks again for the fact that it is faster for me to surf a web page, download a file on my Mac while connected to my HTC Desire using 3G. Than it is using your network on a 4MB uncapped account.
Thanks again much appreciated!

don't worry they're looking into it 
You're getting 100b/s because you're on mweb.
You know they're shaping http now too.
Welcome to ShapeWeb, there is currently a problem and we are looking into it.
We do not plan on unshaping anything before the hours of 4 in the morning, to which if your speeds are crappy then it is simply a seed to peer issue.
If you have any other problems, do feel free to download with your cellphone as it is likely that your cellphone will always be more stable than your line.

As much as I hate the constant need for people to create new threads and complain about speeds or whatever, it does not look like an isolated problem.
From what I can see quite a few ISPs are having speed problems, well some more than others.
