IPSC performance has been truly dire for a few weeks now, particularly at weekends and late evenings. No one seems to know why Entanet is not upgrading capacity, so much so that some resellers are strongly considering a move away from selling Entanet products at all. WBC performance may be better, but you are still at the mercy of the one node you are stuck on. I am in the process of moving ISP because of the shoddy performance, and the total lack of communication / fobbing off (when I joined they were far more open and transparent than they are now).
