Title: Netway Traffic Shaping? Post by: murf62 on October 08 2008 10:14am Well, after a good year with the Netway 1024 service over the i-choice platform, it seems they have lost me for now. They appear to be traffic shaping, as I can only get 30kB/s download from my usenet server. I signed up with Wavespeed again (where I was before) and get a good constant 115kB/s.
Does anyone else download from Usenet on Netway? Incidentally, I also play online games on UK servers but Wavespeed's ping times to the UK are crap compared to Netway. :( Title: Re: Netway Traffic Shaping?

Title: Re: Netway Traffic Shaping? Post by: kwacka on October 08 2008 04:52pm My download times over the past few days (week?) are horrific - at the moment down to 20 kb/s for the latest snapshot of Ubuntu.
Fortunately only a couple of weeks before my subscription runs out. Where did you get your information, Surfer? Title: Re: Netway Traffic Shaping? Post by: murf62 on October 09 2008 06:46am Wavespeed's ping times are better now, maybe even slightly less than Netway's were. Incidently, it was unreliable ping times that forced me to leave Wavespeed in the first place, about 7 months ago.

As mentioned above, I guess this is not an issue any more ;) Title: Re: Netway Traffic Shaping? Post by: murf62 on October 11 2008 08:21am It's much better now. If it stays like this, I will stay with Wavespeed. Until they start capping downloads too!
