End of Month Internet

[DaveM]

Well as you know we pay for our bandwidth per Gig so when the end of the month falls on a weekend our connection basically comes to a standstill it is so slow. We have every user trying to use up their remaining bandwidth for the month as it works on a use it or lose it basics.

So today I have hardly be online at all as I cannot handle the slow speeds.

welcome to my world most evenings.
the local sites are fine, but the international gateway I go thru to get here is like a one lane bridge on a freeway.

I am really glad that we don't have that situation here.

 

[DaveM]

Yes it sucks but hopefully it is back to normal again today. Harry I don't have many sites that are local. A lot of SA sites are hosted in the US as it is cheaper and better service for us here just as we have TT in the US

All is good here.
