List of congested exchanges?

[Blackhand]

Slowly but surely becoming a more common problem. Two of my co-workers in my immediate work area now have congested exchanges, my exchange (Ridgeworth Bellville) is now congested after hours, luckily not during business hours yet. I see few threads in the first couple of pages of this forum with congested exchange complaints.

If the list is big enough there must be some kind of action that can be taken to forcefully get the issue rectified?

I am in Stellenridge, on the Belleville North 4 DSLAM, which is congested at high peak times for residential users, like Wednesday evenings, and Sunday evenings, when every1 is at home doing who knows what.

PIERRE VAN RYNEVELD is congested at high peak times as well for residential, I'm not sure who else is on it in the area but after 18:00 it can get bad.

18:00 is pretty much exactly when things fall apart here every evening.

You can add the Somerset West exchange to the list. The thing is conngested as fsck! Getting 1000ms on average after hours and it starts claming down to about 500ms later at night and only returns to normal at about 11:30 - 12:00pm. I'm sick of this ****. Thinking about cancelling my ADSL, but only after giving them a little bit of uphill.

You can add the Somerset West exchange to the list. Think it might just be our DSLAM in our neighbourhood though. There seems to be a load of congested DSLAMs all over the place as well. (Too small a link to handle the traffic back to the exchange). The thing is congested as fsck!

Two issues with that: There isn't a list on there & 2nd I'm worried about copyright issues.

I see kilos upped an excel sheet he found on the telkom site though:

At least 4 years old though.
