I'm in Bloemfontein, Gardenia Park.
Nice!!! I'm sure you loving the performance bump? Such a good feeling having web pages open almost instantly without any sort of rendering, 720p youtube videos with 0 buffering etc etc etc
I had pretty much given up on 10Mbps, but a Telkom techie phoned me at work on Monday out of the blue to say he'd changed my line from a DSLAM port to a IMAP (?). I was like "Cool, thanks man".
Since then:
![]()
Connection Speed 10008 Kbps 1019 Kbps
Line Attenuation 30.2 dB 16.1 dB
Noise Margin 19.5 dB 10.3 dB
Did your attenuation go up too? Mine did when they upgraded - I think that they moved me from my DSLAM to an IMAX box a little further down the road (similar thing).
What's up with telkom's tools? I'm on 10mbps but this shows only 4mbps is supported. Same with the 40mbps trail checker.
LOL at Dbn
Maximum speed available in your area is 1Mbps
Your current product speed is : 2Mbps
Bothasig 10mbps capable. Called 10210, waited on the line a bit, resynced my router, and connected at 10mbps/1mbps
Now to find an decent ISP... How's TelkomInternet's uncapped doing these days?![]()
ADSL availability and maximum speed supported by your exchange cannot be determined at this stage, for residential please contact the ADSL call centre on 10210, for business please contact 10217.
Seems like they can't determine my maximum speed. Oh well..
