Pages not loading properly.. I;ve switched between IS,Verizon and SAIX and same problem.

Anybody concur ? :confused:
 
ADSL Problems?

YES, particularly yesterday and today web site accesses, e-mail downloading, FTP uploading are almost impossible - most attempts simply time-out. Does anyone know what's going on?? Enquiries to Telkom have so far met with no response.
 
Still no luck.. Its bizarre.. I have 5 DSL lines, 4 are on Verizon and 1 on IS uncapped (cisco router). The 4 Verizon are dead and the 1 x IS is chugging along.

I changed the routers over from Verizon to SAIX and still nothing :mad::confused:

Any other forumites with similar problems in Rivonia/Sunninghill ?
 
Rivonia is connected to the Sunninghill Exchange, could be an issue on their side. They've been having issues on and off for a while now it seems
 
Same here guys.

I stay in Rivonia/Edenberg (Stiglingh / North Road)

Was home at 4:30 PM and could not connect to my work email via VPN over my wireless DSL router.

Switched accounts (SAIX and IS prepaid on WebAfrica) and still no luck .... having to use my 3G card for now.

Was working perfectly the whole weekend and this morning though ...

WTF is up ??

Edit: Also saw an unusually high number of Telskum vans all over Rivonia, Sunninghill, Kyalami and Midrand (new road) today ... come to think of it I was wondering why ..... clearly there is a problem me'thinks.

I'm in the Edenburg/Woomead Ext area an mine is working perfectly on SAIX.
 
Still not working ...

Everything on the router stats page seems fine ... connections up and holding but not going anywhere. Nadda.

Worse than a 9600 baud modem.

HSDPA for time being it shall be.
 
Same here in PTA (Telkom ADSL)

Lots of packet loss for the past two/three days
 
Ok, glad to know its not just me. I get the correct IP info and all and had the Telkom tecchie reset my ports.

I've now gotten hold of a 5Gb IS package, hopefully 3rd time lucky.. I find it bizarre that the problem is only with my 4 Draytek routers. My Cisco IS uncapped router is humming away.

Will swing over now and letcha all know..
 
Working again for me in Rivonia...

Phew - had nightmares of holding on for 20 minutes today for the Telkom "help"line.
 
Problem was Bronberg2 and Bronberg3 ESR

A number of our clients in Rivonia, Hillbrow, Morningside had extremely slow adsl since about 12:45 on 17 June. Could send emails but not browse nor receive emails. Our test Adsl (also physically in same building in Rivonia) but which connected to Rosebank 3 Edge Service Router - was fine.
Only commonality was clients connecting to Bronberg2 and Bronberg3 ESR.
Seems to have been fixed again on 18 June at 08:30.

To see which ESR you connect to, look at your detailed stats breakdowns for one date. For IS Dsl login at http://users.isdsl.net/ with full adsl user-id and password, select Month, then one date (presumably you can get same info from http://userstats.adsl.saix.net/ for Saix based accounts?)
 
Thanks for the info BillyBoy.. Things have picked up a bit, I am now running my 4 DSL lines on SAIX and thrown Neotel, 3G and a Wimax Solution in the mix..

Logged the faults with Telkom and still waiting for the rocket scientists to catch a wakeup there...
