Dang, though I was the only one

Starting date : 15/07/2012

ISP = mweb uncapped

1MB Line

Somerset Mall area

Will post my speedtest shortly





Speeds are up from Sunday, this is the quickest it has been since then. First one is Cape Town, second is Random UK server. Problem is, those are the highest spikes, definitely not the average

Yep been really slow from my side Helderberg Collage area Been fine this morning but since 5pm it went belly up.I spoke too afrihost for my 4meg uncapped account but yeah dont think its the ISP for some reason.I have logged a call with Telkom so lets wait and see.

I'll do a speed test when I get home; suspect that it started last night already because my connection was really slow.

I am in Strand , Sorry the problem is not resolved , spoke to telkom everyday since this started on monday, they reset the ports on there side everytime no improvement. They called me at 16h00 today and asked me if the problem was sorted, which I told them it was not, they informed me they had had a lot of people phoning in to log the same problems, They will be contacting the network section to fine where the fault is lyng and see how they can sort it out and get back to me. It also across all ISP's, that they are haveing the same problem with Telkomsa, so it is not just us telkom users. It seems we will just have to wait and see what they come up with .

[PoenerHoes]

Your right

My pings are a bit better now, but it still goes up and down a lot.

Hope they can get this sorted out soon.
