    Post Office's Speed Services

    Are anybody aware of problems at Speed Services? I was informed this morning by our local post office that Speed Service's vehicle contract with Avis has been cancelled - is this true? Non-payment? Bad management? For a couple of days there has been no deliveries or pick-ups by Speed Services

    What can I do to improve my line speed?

    Firstly, I am not looking for a buff, I am looking for a solution to a problem. Before I get to my problem, see this (Router: DSL-2750U) I am less than 2km from the exchange. The line was upgraded in 2011 from a 384kbps and it has always been uncapped. However, I can generously...

    Sudden loss in ADSL Speed - telkom refusing explenation

    Long story but I will try to keep it short. For more than a year, we've had a 4mbps line. Our data account is hosted by axxess but that's not important. Middle January, my router reported that I was running at 3.7mbps. Shortly into February, it dropped down to 2.8mbps. Now today, 24...

    Automatic transmission and "tall" gears

    I got a car with an automatic transmission last year but only recently had the opportunity to test it out. It is only a 4 speed so I expected the gears to be pretty long. My last encounter with a 4 speed was a manual 2.1 Microbus and I do recall it had a very long 3rd gear. However it is nowhere...

    Retarded speed limit in complex...

    of 10 kmph... I pretty much walk that fast. Is that really reasonable? I went 15 according to my GPS, which is 20 on the car's speedo (yea, huge discrepancy I know...) and I have no problem stopping in a few metres. My car almost stalls at 10 without working the bloody clutch. Got two...

    what is necessary for online gaming.

    When you have 2 people playing online games simultaneously on an Adsl line what would be the minimum speed requirement? Would a 2mb line suffice? Not talking about shaping or throttling on the part of the isp, just the necessary line speed.
