Double my Internet!

[Mike Stenson (RIP)]

I see there is mention in the Namibian of the 11th of May?

Think we being scammed here..
They reduced the internet speed by 75%.... then doubling it, hoping we will be happy with half of what we had...

Even here in OZ there are some shonky Internet Providers they tell you to read the small print before signing up and their TV adds are very convincing 50GB of down load for a low price..............$50 after you have blotted the sign up contract you find out their true intentions and that is of your 50GB of download only 10 of that is allocated to you in the prime time you use the Internet. The other 40GB of  their download is to be used at a time you obvious now know that you will be tuck up in bed unless you enjoy sitting in front of the screen from 2am - till 8am. The ISP company I have been with for the last 10years did not take this into account ramping up their prices and getting less download. The new provider has been forced to change their advertising but that's little comfort to them that swallowed their initial spiel and had to go into a higher price for their package.

This speed test is a lot of tosh..... I downloaded files this morning and it took forever at 7.1-9kbs.... The test thingy tells me that I have a download speed of 152.7 kbs ...... I will be climbing on the fast electrical telephone to WHK 2morrow to air my views.... after all I am paying for a service that I am not getting....

Don't get confused between the line speed and download speed.
512 kps package should give you download speed of around 50kps and the test(line speed) will show around 350-400kbps because of line losses.

There is something wrong with the whole towns Internet and Telecom do not realize it...... Gert was here Thursday and did not believe me when I told him.
Please give them hell tomorrow...

Don't be satisfied till you can download a file at 50 kps or at 100 on a 1meg package.
The speed should stay fairly constant throughout. No big ups and downs.

This is how mine was till last week Monday..

Had old Gert, the Telecom guy here at Spar today, seem's there is a problem with the link at Chameis... seem's NAMDEB have guys working on it.... the internet speed should be up and running in the 48 hours...

Also heard the doubling of speed will start on the 15th...

And here I sit complaing about our slack speeds...........!

See below. I tested my speeds at 13:50pm and the results reveal a paltry 5.34 MB/s

This is not what BT speeds should be. There is a digit missing from the result. I will complain!

[Michael Alexander]

Wow! I tried that with my broken connection....

[Robert Bruce]

Impressive!
