Today is the first day that everyone is back in the office since the cables were cut before Christmas. Qtel still seems to be throttling certain websites, and YouTube seems out of action.
How are others coping with the reduced speeds? Is it causing problems at work?
internet speed today and yesterday was ok for me. downloading from rapidshare clocking at around 186kbps to 236kbps (",)
"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, tolerant of the weak. Someday you will have been all of these."
I let my staff loose on the internet at lunch so they can keep in contact with their family and friends back home for free, however one Filipino guy spends his entire lunch break on You Tube. His family must think he hates them!
ngourlay....lol....but I do feel they should have blocked Youtube(till the time the under sea cable problem is rectified)....Right now I guess the whole bandwidth is hogged by streaming videos.
lol ngourlay. I've probably only visited youtube maybe 50 times. Ever. There's probably some good stuff on there, but it gets over run by the crap. (Which to be fair, is a bit like QL).
lol baldrick. No it's not essential, in that I wont loose any money if I can't access it. I still haven't persuaded Qatari to pay me per post. I'm working on it though ;)
the very first page acces he mentions is QL, so it means QL for him is essential...on the other hand if qtel doesn't considers it that way that is another issue.
For the time being Internet acces as well as speed has been normal to me (both at home ands office) but for sure nothing like before the cable damage.
My home internet access to QL, gmail, facebook, bbc, amazon etc etc has been good for the past 3 or 4 days. My VPN is also working ok, as is bittorrent.
If Qtel are throttling non-essential sites then it seems like a good idea to me.

Oo.. came back from meeting and found that pages load more slowly. Maybe more online traffic and hence, cannot handle the load..

youtube bandwidth has been limited by qtel purposly read the new on their website......i now started using metacafe.com which is better than nothing
Im the one and only
I got problems big time with Video streaming... Youtube or any other Video Streaming site..
Internet slower than the past few days. Problems loading QL pages but I don't download anything and don't watch YouTube.
No problem with the reduced speeds. Can still log on to my office server in MY.

lol baldrick, maybe the guy is watching videos of his family on you tube!!!
but when QL starts giving me error pages, that's bad too.
;-P

Did you Google it first?

If you can cope for a day without YouTube, then you're doing the interweb thing WRONG!
Take this, for example: http://twurl.nl/jizjt2
How can you live without seeing it on an hourly basis. I say block BBC and gmail -- I NEED YOUTUBE!
But surely you can cope without youtube?
is driving me crazy...
No, I'm good thanks!
where did you see that pic i only sent to Red Pope to show him his pervert donkey :D
if you didnt see will email it to you too :D
Da - you gotta stop looking for those donkey love pictures :p
all i see is a blue page BLOCKED BY QTEL. not fair :/
:P

Galloper, it's essential for me too, but as per my previous post, it won't load properly at home for me :o(
I'm still struggling with file downloads though. Before the cut I was getting 250k downloads, today I'm getting 11k at present.

Hope it goes back to "fully normal" soon.

Tallg, are you saying QL is non-essential!?!?!? ;o)

yesterday at home, it was the worst ....

It took 1 hr for me to replicate my mails.
dont know but except you tube, my access to ql and other websites today are pretty quick :-)
Usable!?!?!
At work it's fine - I have priority use of an 8meg connection.
At home I can barely load a page of QL!!!!
More than 5 posts to a page and it craps out :o(

I haven't noticed it being any slower today. For the last few days it's been quite usable, though obviously not at full speed yet.
