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

[Pets4u.co.za]

i was running at 40k downloads a couple of months ago on my 192k line, then telkom changed something then i was only getting 20k dl's. So i know for a fact that i will be getting those speeds agen

Gangstarr mine and a few others also sync at 384/128 Is there something we could do or somebody to speak to in order to make it sync ay 512/256? There's nothing wrong with the line cos I used to get 640/480 for a couple of months before they realised that the setting was wrong on mine.

Thanks

question: y should it be syncing at 512/256 if we are getting an upgrade to 384? does not make sense should it not be syncing at 384? or am i missing something WRT syncing?

Just like 192k doesnt sync at 192. 384k doesnt sync at 384k, it syncs at 512k.
But i have no idea why

i just checked my router and it was sitting on 320kbps/192kbps now its 384kbps/128kbps, so something is happening. I am still not seeing and speed change on the speed test though

Forgive me for being tech ignorant, but how is 128Kbps faster than 192Kbps. Mine is saying the 384/128 thing, but my speeds are slower than ever. Saturday I could play AOE online, today I cant cause my ping is so bad.

synching definitely has changed. Now conencting at 384/128. As for speed tests and downloads...still 192k speeds.

I'm not even going to check again today, it's going to make us all mad! Yesterday I was jumping up and down every 30mins or so rebooting my modem and checking speed!

But today I have decided to just let it be.
When I get "upgraded" it will be cool I'm sure ill notice it

 

[krycor]

Busy reading them.. ROFL. Man that guy is my new idol!!1

 

[Kasyx]

I still haven't got an upgrade...

My router is syncing at 640/352 (i'm on homedsl192)

Is this a good thing?

Also, I get a couple of CRC errors every few seconds on the downstream...

Called "them" about it yesterday and they said they would get back to me...

Yeah, right.

 

[Freaksta]

LoL guys.... I think we all need to jst wait............

When it gets done it gets done......

I myself have had this 192k for jst under a year... so to me another week or two isnt to bad....

Ill wait.... Be glad when its done......
