Oh, I have issues...

don't appear to have issues on my side (only browsing at the moment)

There you go,

In part because I just wanted to fiddle with the new version of GIMP and in part because the AH logo is a boring avatar

Could you please have a look into twitch.tv lag?

Hi, I moved from AH last year and now I'm back. There's just one thing bugging me, at night (it's now 11:42PM) my Latency on my 4mbps uncapped is much much higher than on my 1GB free account (Wow ping : 500ms vs 185ms ), the weird thing is that during the day the uncapped latency becomes low again like 185 - 190 ms for WoW. This does not make any sense, is this just temporary or is it actually normal ?

Currently getting 634KB/s on my 6Mbps account, so very happy.

Hi Guys

Can someone please help me. I am getting full download speed (980KBps) when downloading HTTP direct, however my torrents dont pass 300KBps, whereas the same torrent would download at full speed on my old axxess account.

I have no shaping applied and I just dont know where to look?

Definitely not normal.

I get 20ms Local and 180ms Int. on my 10meg uncapped account. Maybe get telkom to do a resync of your line.

Also noticed that, I just switched my modem off and back on - the speeds seems a 'bit' decent although intermittent.

edit - can't believe I'm increasing my post count on complaining - damn

I've also been experiencing this. Also, the first few minutes of my http downloads run fine at 800KBps - 1MBps, but then after a while it just starts going down, and idles at about 500-600KBps....This happened again when downloading The final Fantasy 14 beta client, of about 9 Gb, so it was really frustrating...

Do a traceroute when it is slow, I suspect exchange congestion

Hi All,

Am i looking at exchange congestion here?? not even peak hour and latency is playing a not so fun game....
