LOL. You are already late posting this news. Segwit has been activated mate. At least check before posting Press Releases. And the effect is still up for debate, we don't know if Segwit has really made the transaction faster or lower fees because the mempool is still clog, although Bitmain has mining 0 blocks since Segwit has been activated that might contribute to the clogging of the network.
This particular subforum always seems to attract articles with a somewhat tenuous link to Bitcoin in order to post news that primarily applies to Altcoins without getting moved to the Altcoins subforum.
As for SegWit, the effects were never going to be instantaneous. It will take time for the positive impacts to materialise. It's not just the network itself that needs to be upgraded to realise the benefits, it's also the wallets of individual users and the address format being used to transact. If you're using an address that isn't SegWit-compatible, you can only make use of the base 1MB blocksize and not the new witness space. The faster people switch to the new SegWit addresses, the faster we'll see a shorter queue in the mempool.
