Dis 'n pot bol as jy my vra, hoekom is local sites dan ook stadig?

 

[Globetrotter]

Line break between Rosebank and Hong Kong has been restored. Everything is fine again, for me at least.

still horrible my end. intermittent though so not sure wtf is going on. local and international stuffed. hope its better by tomorrow

in response to teraside, the reason local is slow is because telkom owns the loop.

 

[|tera|]

They should loop correctly then not via Hong Kong

 

[Tns]

been having problems like this the whole week

I have a 4Mb/s line and its amazing how often my DSL modem syncs at about half that. This has only started happening recently. I have to reset the unit to get it back to 4Mb/s. Quite irritating

You're such a n00b, don't you mybroadband works a day ahead of the time space continuum? Everyone knows that! Come on!

The failure was not on Telkom's local network and clearance was possibly effected from Penang, Malaysia,” Telkom said.

You never know nowadays it could be an earthquake or a ships anchor
snapping the F/O cable

There should be a new icon for threads like this changing content in 10 minutes etc.

Nah, it's somebody in Telkom who've found a stash of pirated movies and downloaded them, and temporarily blocked other broadband users whilst the download was in progress

 

[.Froot.]

Well i did at one stage have 38000KB downloaded and 28000KB uploaded today... and I did not upload any emails, or any such nonsense. Hardly even browsed, only downloaded a 20MB ubuntu update.

Could be. It could very well be.
