I'm not sure how long this has been the case for (as I just noticed this tonight), but the cache settings available via the "My Account" section of the Slingshot website no longer has any effect (for my connection at least.) Regardless of the status on that page, the cache definitely still seems to be enabled. frown

I tried the following, to no effect:

 

     

  1. toggling the setting "on" then "off" again, waiting 10 minutes, then rebooting my router
  2. changing it to "on", waiting 10 minutes, then rebooting my router
  3. changing it back to "off", waiting 20+ minutes, then rebooting my router
  4. disabling Global Mode in case that forced the cache on (or itself acted like one)

 


The "Internet Cache Settings" page currently states "You currently have caching OFF", but this cache test indicates a cache is still present, as does tcping:

Is anyone else here seeing the same thing? If so (or if not), what plan/connection type are you on?

Hey Detruire, thanks for the heads up. Looks like a bug with UFB customers. The guys are working on it now so should hopefully have a solution soon.
