Looking sexy
Hi,
We have finalised the new set of upgrades for Wallapa. However, this does not mean the end of work. We are looking to lift the Quality Of Service for Wallapa as we prepare to move over to new servers which will be much more faster than the current ones. The handover should be fulfilled by the end of the month.
Thank you.
