I need help.
At our premises at 64 Gemini street, Brackenfell, Telkom can only offer a max of 4 mbps line.
This is way to slow for us, as we have some other branches connecting to the Brackenfell office.
We need about 60 Gig of data per month and according to our software provider at least 10 mbps which will cost a fortune on 3G. If the line stays at the 3.7 mbps it is at night we will be able to work, but there is no way we get close to that speed between 9h00 and 17h00 during the day.
Telkom LTE does not cover our area, so far I could not find anybody with Fibre in the area and I also could not find anything else.
We were with Telkom with the ADSL. Then Afrihost said they might be able to offer a faster line,...... until we ported to them we were then informed that the line is limited to the exchange and can only get a faster line if and when Telkom add faster ports, so we might as well stayed with Telkom.
We already lost two days of work because during the day the internet becomes so slow that my other branches cannot connect to our main branch.
Does anybody know of any other solution in the area?
I think our slow down during the day is typical port overload. We go down to 0.2 mbps during the day and then Afrihost use all the answers they can get to tell us why it is so slow and log the one call with Telkom after the other. But after 17h00 problems goes away by itself and when everybody went home we can actually work, only problem is then there are no workers and then there are also no clients in the shop no more.
