ADSL Problems Craighall Park Sandton

[qu1k_sh0t]

Is anyone else having problems?

The last week or so, I have had major spikes on my line. I play games online, and over the past 2 or 3 days I have been getting packet loss and major spikes. In addition my download speeds have dropped and I can't stream video from QuadV.com.

Is anyone else in the area having issues? My telephone line has also picked up MAJOR static, I actually can't even use it the noise is that bad.

How do I report this to the incompetent Telkom people? I mean technically speaking my line works, it just isn't performing like it should be

Tell them you are experiencing so much static on the line it makes it virtually unusable.

Still having issues. Telkom techies have been out to my place and the spikes and noise on the line are still here.

I cannot even use my land line there is that much static int he background :/

Are you 011-325 Hyde Park exchange?

I don't have any problems on my line, probably water in a connection box somewhere from this crummy weather.

Thanks for the information. I got another call today from the techies saying they are sending another technician out.

I am on the 011 880 exchange. And my neighbours DSL died completely. She had a 384 connection that isn't synching with the router at all anymore. So she has logged a fault as well.

I think the exchange is broken or its the cable, cause the amount of noise on the line is insane! I literally cannot hear the telkom people that I am complaining too cause the static is that distracting.

That's Rosebank exchange. I highly doubt it's broken, or half the country would come to a standstill

If your telephone lines are above ground I'd suggest a little accident with a tree trimmer, then get them to replace all the circuits.

Well I don't know what the issue is. But lately the freaking area has had a million and 2 lightning storms, and my phone line has become nigh unusable.

It is just so difficult trying to explain to the "techies".

Me: "Yes it is working... BUT I am getting spikes"
Telkom: " So it is weking then?"
Me: "Yes but as I said, the performance has slowed down and I am getting spikes while playing"
Telkom: "But it is weking?"
