    Every month Telkom throttles my connection

    So I admit that I use to download tons of torrents and rack up 100's of GBs per month in 2016/7 and the way to bypass the throttle on Telkom's LTE network was just to reset the router. I could understand why I was being throttled because I was misusing the service. These days I do not download...

    Help! Poor quality line following upgrade (cybermart)

    So we've had a 2mb line with cybersmart for about a year, with very few problems and a good download speed (200-220kbs) and good international gaming latency (170m to EU servers). Recently (about 2 weeks ago) we decided to upgrade to a 4mb, hoping for better streaming and download speeds...

    Hey guys, I had a 4mbps line but my internet stopped working. Mweb is my ISP while telkom supplies my line. After a long time i managed to get my line fixed (mweb did something funny). Ever since then however I've been getting speeds of maximum 0,5mbps... So I called up Telkom and asked them...

    Weird access point issue with Galaxy Pocket Plus

    Hello people of the forums! This is rather obvious, but I'm new here. Well, sort of. I regularly visit the forums in search for solutions, and I always found them. Now, I've come across something that puzzles me, and I don't find anything in the forums. I should start by saying that I...

    Anyone offer a data upload service in SA?

    Hi, I'd like to know if anyone provides a data upload service in SA? I live in the sticks with slow wireless and a bandwith cap, so not feasible to load many gigs of data to a cloud service. I'd like to send a hard-drive to a company that can upload all the initial data for me to the...

    Spoke too soon (regarding speed)

    Hi all Looks like I spoke too soon - my i5 promo was good for the whole of May, but since the first of June it's been atrociuos. Now I do not know if that's a coincidence or not, but I was still getting between 1 and 3.8 Mbps on the 2nd last day of May, when I ran out. Now, in June, I have...

    Telkom Local like a frog getting hit by a bus

    This is really bad, half the pages I click on don't load. I get a lot of 404s and everything is taking a long time. I've called technical 3 or 4 times, logged faults but all I get is some stupid person telling me I'm capped. As far as I can tell, most of SA isn't local, the co.za domain isn't...
