Greetings from a rather wet Cape Town.
August 2008 has kept us on our toes. First off, we were let down badly by the company we'd partnered with for internet bandwidth. Not only were they not giving us what we were being billed for, but once we'd proven to them that their service was not up to par (in fact our throughput was around 50% of what we were being billed for), we were told "your problem is you use the line to send data through". Our continued attempts at getting the matter resolved saw our service being suspended and all out websites offline for a week.
We've since entered into a partnership with MTN Network Services - giving us fibre optic access to London, New York, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Tokyo and San Francisco. To give you an idea of the speed improvement: We used to be around 800ms from the Google data centres in Washington state. Those same servers are now a mere 200 - 250ms away.
The new link not only makes our clients' web browsing experience that much more enjoyable, it also means our hosted sites and services are quicker. You should notice a vast improvement in the speed with which the classifieds download.
