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 :(

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.

Hey guys, I think Telkom is laughing at you?

Now you can laugh at me.



* Download time: 103.125 seconds
* Size of file: 500 KiloBytes
* Estimated line speed: 39.6 (kilobits/second)
* Estimated line speed: 4.8 (kiloBytes/second)


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.

I am now in 32kbps modem territory.

Welcome to the 80s.
