192k to 384k? ~~~August 1st changes~~~

[HaltAndCatchFire]

Hehe, I knew it!

Everybody still on 192! I rebooted my router and it's still syncing at 192, as per the telkom speed test!

So I wonder when they will flip the magical switch to make us all go faster, they are the bestest broadband in all of SA, right www.bestbroadband.co.za

Some person from telskum called me about a month ago and told me about the upgrade of lines to 384 and asked if I wanted my line upgraded .... obviously I said yes ... ever since ... my line has been schweeeeet ...
sorry, but I did not bother to get their number ... was in the middle of something else at the time and it only occured to me afterwards

On my router is syncing as 320

it should be syncing at 512 on a 384 line

 

[Kasyx]

my router is syncing at 640kbps DS/320kbps US

I'm on dsl192

(then again my router has reported over 25000 CRC errors in the last hour and a half)

so my line is SLOOOOW

I wouldn't be surprised if there are endless ADSL problems with this upgrade.
Upgrading everyone from 192 to 384 is going to put the ADSL infrastructure under serious strain.

As if it wasn't under enough strain already

Stupid dial-up.

Wanna see something scary?

Your line speed is approximately 45.1 Kbps or 5.5 kBytes/sec

and I am apparently on dsl192...

My line has been at that speed since 4 this afternoon... not getting any faster.

Enormous WTF, isle 2, we need an enormous WTF in isle 2.

That's just messed up mate.

Hope you and the rest get those upgrades ASAP!

Stupid Telkom!
