    Dsl telecoms and vox worst internet speed

    So I have had the worst slowest internet since I had it installed. It hasn't run at 25 mbs a second once. I'm a teacher and I have been kicked out of class and have lost money because of it. Vox is actually worse than rain which is hard to believe.... No resolution yet!!

    Slow ADSL - Mweb or infrastructure to blame?

    Hi everyone! We have a 10mps ADSL line (the max we can get) with Mweb. We've had it for about...ten years I guess? But over the years the speed and connection has become steadily worse, to the point where it's nigh unusable. We clock in an average of 0.25mbs download speed. I'm not entirely...

    How to reset degraded ADSL line to full speed?

    I have a 10-meg ADSL line and it normally syncs at just about 10 meg. However when it rains the speed occasionally downregulates to 6, 7 or 8 meg, and sometimes it takes weeks or months for the full speed to come back. My router tells me the maximum speed the line can do is 13 meg or so, so...

    Slow Line Speeds

    Hi all, About 4 months back I upgraded to the 4mb line, and I was getting down speeds of about 400kb/s. For about 3 months now, I have been lucky if I get over 200kb/s. I was wondering if anyone could explain what the problem may be, and how I could go about solving it. Thanks in advance...

    Very Slow ADSL Speeds - Telkom/Mweb/Me the Problem?

    I am pretty much at my wits end. I upgrade my telkom adsl from 1mbps to 2mbps and migrated the line to Mweb. I expected much faster downloads, streaming etc. However, I seem to be worse off than before. Doing random speed test through the day and evening I barely reach 0.66mbps download and...

    What's wrong with Afrihost?

    Hello there! I just wanted to know WHY Afrihost has cut download speeds down by so much? I don't even know why I upgraded my line speed, it's going at the rate of snails! Is this supposed to be permanent? - Fluttershy

    Is my line slow or am I paranoid?

    Dear Broadbanders, I have recently changed from a mweb 4mb uncapped shaped account to an IS 4mb uncapped unshaped account. Everything in my gut tells me that the new line should be about 20% faster at least. I have 40 users here in Menlo Park. I have changed the IPs all to static to avoid...
