ADSL Dead?

Despite the fact that Telkom 0800 375 375 is so busy that I cannot even get through, Telkom will probably state that there are no known issues.....
 
ADSL Dead

I stay in the far east of Jhb. My phone adsl/phone line is totally 100% completely DEAD.

Haven't seen anyone mention anything about their phone lines being dead yet though?

Anyway also can't get through on their number so basically I guess we all just going to have to be like good little children waiting in the dark for magic to happen. :confused:
 
OK - mine is now worse.

Popping my mail is very slow, as is surfing.

EDIT: mail is now completely dead....

Another five minutes at this rate, and I may as well stop working.

Was down for that period here in PMB (IS) too. Back up now thankfully.

was up for about 15 minutes. now as slow as a analogue modem routing through another one, backwards. (jhb city)

uploading 20MB to my server at IS: 30minutes to go, been running for 10 minutes already.

It would be quicker to crawl across broken glass to IS and type the data in.... and less painful.

ADSL - Always Damn Slow & Laggy.
