ADSL Dead?

[rpm]

Melville, JHB. Stopped working at around 12:00...anybody else?

IS seems dead for me, JHB south. SAIX seems to be working but very slowly

Same here, conneting with gprs at the moment... sync and ppp going fine, its just a dead connection. I'm on IS, both local and international dead

pretty much a duplicate thread

But RPM is the MAN! and so I will forgive him

Anyways, it seems to be spreading, and seems VERY intermittent (some users in one area work, and others in the same area do not - all using the same IS based ISP in my cases).

Local completely dead here, capped so cant test international

 

[Dovi]

Yup ADSL dead, Emmarentia. ADSL is syncing but PPP is dead. Phoned in about ten mins ago, Telkom care creature said that altho an official problem hasn't been reported, as we were talking he noticed a large increase in call volume... will phone back later.

On another note, I have to admit that their ADSL support centre has DEFINATELY improved! They answered both my calls in around a minute and a half (including voice prompts!). And come to think of it, this is a first time in a long time that my ADSL has been up for two weeks with no hassles! THERE'S HOPE YET!

Plain, old fashioned luck.

To test your results, I phoned 0800 375 375 now, two attempts, does not even ring.....

Hi folks

Can you please give your region if you have problems with your ADSL service. Very useful for dealing with Telkom and for future reference...

Regards,

RPM
