ok so i have a weird problem..

So as of Tuesday, I get home from work, internet slugging along (speedtest times out, browsing slower than dial up with constant time out's) - so i think oh noes.. problem with openweb. Try resetting router, switched to mweb, switched to openweb platinum, switched to telkom.. didn't change anything.

So the line syncs at about 1.5mbps (from a previous 10mbps) however browsing is near impossible. Packet loss indications (from teamspeak) is like 30-50% :/ I get really low pings, I just have insane packet loss... For instance, BF3 - 8 ping, but lagging as if im playing off dial up or unstable 3G ._.

Phoned telkom, got them to recreate my port (4 times so far), bought a new router (D-link 2750u) and absolutely no change :( Tried changing DNS to google's (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) that didnt help either. Telkom tech's did testing, says there's no problems on the line at all -.-, really annoyed with this as nobody can tell me WTF is wrong with my line. Fault has been logged with Telkom, but maybe someone here knows whats going on :?

Could be a fault with your dslam card so ask them to check it, if you ruled out it isn't the cabling/router or pots filter.
