ADSL has been stable in Lansdowne for the past 48 hours at least.

How is the adsl connection other times?

I have just signed up for uncapped 1MB with Telkom and was told there is no lines available on the exchange. So its a waiting game

Me as well, I dont know what to do? I believe it is because of the exchange 2mbps line is giving me 0.3 to 0.6mbps download and 0.3mbps upload

I'm in Claremont and the connection has been erratic for over a year now. After 5pm the speeds plummet to less than 2MB on 4meg line. Having upgraded to 10MB, the latency in online games (Diablo III, League of Legends) has worsened. I barely manage to get 4MB on a 10MB line, though during the day it does look like I am briefly downloading for small 'bursts' of speed at 8MB.

It always feels like a delay and then a 'burst' of download speed. The Clareinch exchange (Which I assume you guys are connected to) has been terrible ever since I moved here, with my net going down quite a few times last year, due to fiddling at the exchange. Telkom just does not seem to give a damn about the WCLH Exchange....

You need to speak to Charl at Telkom to assist.

Phone WebAfrica brother (or sister?)
086000 9500 and quote my user number GAR34

The Celt 58, a VERY happy WebAfrica client for over 9 years. No contract, no packdrill. You need your own modem but they do manage ADSL lines for their clients

Have you perhaps been "overusing" your "Uncapped" account? It happened to me

 

[TheCelt58]

Try calling WebAfrica for your ADSL line management AND your data plan. May I suggest that you forget about "Uncapped" as there are many landmines and tripwires in the mix. Go for a capped account rather. The SLOWEST line is now 2 Mb/sec.

WeabAfrica is on 086000 9500 and please quote my client code as a reference as I receive a small reward as a subscriber referrer ;-) My code is GAR34

Good luck and thanks in advance . . . .
