Goddamit! I just bought a WNET 1.8MB and was hoping to get a smooth PS3 online games “WE2008″ Bye bye PS3… by the way, there should be WE2008 competitions in Kwt!

I confirm it too and all my office collegues.
Change the DNS servers to the above mentioned ones by Topagi.
If you are on network, change the DNS settings at the router.
DHCP relay and everyone gets good speed.
If theres no DHCP, then manual DNS entries into TCP/IP properties.
The speed is back to normal.
You can check out for more Open DNSs over the internet.

speed dropped to 60kbs. Msn, is the most entertaining thing in times like these.

Do we, in Q8, wish to re-phrase that to ” Slower internet better than no internet”?? When is it ever fast over here?

Look at the irony of it. I had been calling qualitynet daily to activate my connection as I had completed all procedures. They finally activated it the day cable was cut. I can’t thank them enough for this favor ;)
