If you try to phone them there is a message that says they are having technical issues, so it's probably the same problem
So...trying to download a 40MB file.After an hour...10 hours left. Less than 2 kB/s. Do I really have to buy a house with a Telkom Line to get any type of internet access?
keep getting disconnected anyone else hving problems this evening
Some times the internet is so slow, it would be faster to just fly to Google's headquarters and ask them this $h1t in person.!
So the Tech dudes spent a few hours at our place checking signal, testing speeds, more checking and then re-checking.
They also reloaded the firmware on the 2Mb modem, and did more tests and checking and the best speed was 1.55Mb/s.
That is doable for during the day.
But here is a test from now:
Upload speed has more than doubled from what it used to be (this was the firmware reflash that did that according to the tech) and download speeds are still OKish.
Nothing else can be done on our side with regards to antenna direction or anything else, so we will await what iBurst says about the report the Techs have done.
Huge thanks to Melanie for sorting out the Tech visit.
Ja.................test done at 12:24AM:
So, please tell me again there are no known issues so I can again sit here laughing.
Bursty, there are no known issues.
Ok ok was just trying to get a laugh trololol

Can't load various pages today. Not even MyBB!!!!!! FFS!! Randburg area.
Anyone else having problems with international sites tonight? One minute I'll be able to load pretty much anything at normal speeds (i. e., Iburst-slow); a few minutes later "not found" errors, but *only* with international sites: local are normal. Please don't tell me somebody's slashed the cables again ...
I had the same problem, but I found it wasn't all international sites, I could still watch youtube vids and get to my gmail and facebook, but I would loose connection to the EvE Online servers and website
similar but I could not use face book
