It took a few days to get fixed in which it was going up and down and generally playing havoc. It should be better now...... I hope. :-/ If it is still THAT bad please tell me. (But don't expect USA speeds. We only have 1.25MBit/s between us and the rest of the internet. Us being the Uninet which are 30+ universities, technikons and schools.)
