Idd Gaby, ik stel dan ook voor dat ook jij je beklag doet bij Apple. zodat ze uiteindelijk hoop ik dan maar, er iets aan doen of het voor gebruikers in europa goedkoper maken dan de USA gebruikers omdat wij hier dom weg de funtionaliteit niet hebben.
PS ik heb net weer een "boze "brief geschreven naar apple , de derde al met feitelijk dezelfde strekking. :
Hi Yvan, as you said you are forwarding the emails i send you to the people that it concerns, i would like to send you "one more thing "
.
Apple states :
Apple gives people in all regions equal bandwidth to access the public Mac services, but unfortunately, Web Gallery access speeds can be affected by a few factors, such as: 1) the distance between the .Mac servers and someone who is viewing a Web Gallery, and 2) the speed of the Internet connection over which someone is viewing a Web Gallery.
I think it must be clear to Apple by now , that if you're not in the USA you just don't get the same product as when you are in the USA , and the speed tests have proven that the connection itself is not the problem.
It would be the same as me saying to all my subsrcibed customers, if have happy hour every week and everybody is invited to come and get free drinks ( or whatever ), jippie, and then all the people that are not close enough to that bar , are still paying like any other customer but don't get the benefits that the customers close to the bar get.
So basicly the are paying for something they can never benefit from because of location.
As for step 1 , if it's clear that the customer is out side the usa apple knows that the distance to the .Mac server is to big to get any usable performance from that server , so they should be able to compensate for that lack of performance,( Basicly apple says we offer you the same as everybody BUT we know you will never get the same because you are to far away ) and 2, thats a bit off an old story here in europe, almost everybody has broadband now a days.
Bottom line : I'm paying for 10Gig of storage i will never use in the way it is now because the upload and even download speeds are just not usable wit these performance isues, and i'm just not getting what i'm paying for here in the EU performance wise, so i think Apple should fix it or compensate for the lack of performance ( Build servers in the EU so we get the same performance here might do the trick in the UK for instance or even Holland, the internet is very up to date here Techno wise ).
Regards Data.
Hier kun je je beklag doen bij apple zelf : http://www.apple.com/feedback/mac/tm.html
Hoe meer mensen klagen hoe beter , want ze maken er een potje van wat mij betreft op dit gebied, het is toch onzin dat ze de software downloads wel met max snelheid kunnen aan ieden van dezelfde locatie en onze websites en filmpjes niet vooruit te branden zijn, over feitelijk dezelfde lijnen.
