Karoo’s Direct Approach To Server Status

March 27th, 2008 by Shaun

After suffering for years with Karoo’s poor service, high prices, slow broadband rollout, then finally getting broadband only to discover my 56K modem offered comparable speeds, this really has to take the cake.

I wondered why my “upto 8-mbit” connection was only acheiving a 65 KB/s speed from Usenet, so I consulted my ISPs trusty “Service Status Page” to be greeted with a simple answer to my question.

Yep. Karoo are experiencing problems.

Thanks trusty friend!

Karoos speeds are bad most of the time. I never get close to the speeds my package says I should be getting.

They need to improve services or let other ISPs in!
