Very interesting info!

Those aren't individual exchanges.EDIT: Referring to telkom site.
tbh not too bothered about this...my exchange isn't congested. (Selfish ftw).

I know the feeling, I've had DSL since 2004 and my exchange/line was always perfect, excellent latency and one line fault that was resolved quite quickly. Then one day like a month ago, bam, its all gone to crap.
Yeah that is pretty cool.
wth is going on in germiston...100% 10mbps support.
Bwahahahaha this says that the Panorama exchange is 10Mbps capable. I am on this exchange with a new laid cable to the house (less than 2 years old), I am paying for a "up to 10Mbps" line but I can only manage up to 3Mbps on the line and the line still drops out every night roughly at 18:00 and again at about 20h30.
I'm gonna start a restaurant with the same idea as telecoms in this country... "up to 1Kg steaks for R120.00"
we will endevour to try and give you the best service we can but we do reserve the right to only supply 50 grams when demand is high and supply is short
I've got to stop saying "how stupid can you be?"...........Too many people are taking it as a challenge.
I have a 4Mbps line for many years. Over the past two months it started to degrade to such an extent that I'm often unable to do a speedtest. Afterhours the line is unusable and I get worse than dialup speed. I have logged several calls with Telkom and currently have one open (17ATK270811) and povided them with the speedtest results from various days and times. Sadly they are not doing anything to resolve the problem.
I guess the only thing is to get enough of us to make our results public and then if we're lucky we might get them to do something. My modem sync speed and quality is excellent. Latency is good and I have no line errors or packet loss, but download throughput is shocking most of the time (below 300kps). Upload speed is not a problem and test at 0.4Mbps most of the time
Just to paint a pretty picture of what happens on the Bellville North 4 DSLAM (wblv-esr-3 BRAS router).
Last night, we did very little on the ADSL line, including no downloads after midnight.
Traffic:
Worst Latency problems start at 7pm, but any time after 5:30pm is not 100% perfect.
This graph shows how it settles down at midnight and will be fine for the next day until 5:30pm.
The latency graphs are created by Smokeping, pinging the 1st public ip on a traceroute:
(ie. hop #2 in this trace)
ps. This happens on ALL ISP accounts, not just the Web Africa one. That ip sits on a Telkom Exchange router.Code:C:\Users\Tinuva>tracert www.mweb.co.za Tracing route to www.mweb.co.za [196.2.63.110] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms router.heaven.za.net [10.0.0.1] 2 7 ms 7 ms 7 ms wblv-ip-esr-3.ipnet.wa.co.za [41.185.83.1] 3 9 ms 9 ms 8 ms wnls-ipc1-vl-105.wa.co.za [196.220.59.250] 4 8 ms 9 ms 8 ms wnls-cr1-vl-801.wa.co.za [41.185.0.67] 5 85 ms 19 ms 143 ms wbrs-csw1-vl-140.wa.co.za [41.185.1.5] 6 9 ms 9 ms 8 ms mweb.cinx.net.za [196.223.22.32] 7 13 ms 13 ms 10 ms gigabitethernet0-2-1-4.cpt-up-1.mweb.co.za [196. 28.178.138] 8 14 ms 16 ms 16 ms vlan11.cpt-hscore-1.mweb.co.za [196.28.178.99] 9 13 ms 10 ms 12 ms 196-28-178-34.adsl.mweb.co.za [196.28.178.34] 10 10 ms 10 ms 10 ms www.mweb.co.za [196.2.63.110] Trace complete.

What app did you use to get these statistics?
Am seriously pissed at my exchange as well and want to see if there is a trend.
The traffic graph is generated by my Mikrotik router (adsl modem is in bridge mode, with pppoe session on the Mikrotik).
The latency graphs are generated by an app called Smokeping, run it on a Linux box at home, but I guess with some work you can get that on a Windows box.

I am also on that Bellville north exchange and I can pretty much say its totally buggered for online gaming now...
Here is some traceroutes from last night :

From my exhange to Web Africa - 608 ms and thats even before I jump onto the international pipeline...
The latencies are normally around 10 ms from my exchange up to Web Africa / Mweb... around 6 / 7 PM... it just goes flat into the ground... How I managed to get Rhyolith Heroic down last night at 5500 Ms in World of Warcraft, should be documented under Riply's Believe it or not ....
I can safely say my online gaming days are over.

Rondebosch!! Local ping ranges between 300-1200ms. Its ridiculous! And there doesnt even seem to be 'good times', its almost always bad!
Pornolio...indeed. Sad truth. Lucky for me, my guild stopped raiding the very week these problems started. However...I can't do ANY gaming in normal after work hours.
Today asked a inside person, and I then had to listen what a massive story it is to get moved to another DSLAM..from changing tellephone number ect ect. I just said "I don't care what massive long procedure I need to go through, if you give me the whole procedure, I will walk through it every step of the way, as long as I get off that damned oversubscribed DSLAM".
Last message was "I will get back to you".

SAFEX, JSE...
Yeah the Rondebosch exchange is feeling it apparently. Since like 2007 I had never had any problems and then suddenly in May I started get horrible pings of between 800 and 1200 during the evening. It's perfect at every other time during the day. And nobody at Telkom can do anything to fix it I have been told. So I guess no gaming until they decide to upgrade the exchange
Same here! Things deteriorated horribly earlier this year! I used to game perfectly before, and then in march my pc got destroyed (geyser burst). When I got my new pc in june and started gaming again, pings were horrible and has been crap ever since.
