ADSL Problems

i have to share this. i reported the fault at 12.45. 2 telkom technicians arrived at my office 5 minutes ago wanting to find fault. as much as they cant fix it here as it seems to be a Gauteng problem at not my line, they still arrived. TOTALLY AWESOME!! haha

Probably find they were responding to a fault you placed on 5 January 2004.
Just coincidence that they arrived today.

While many might think I am being facetious, this has happened to me in the past. When I ordered my ADSL line, it "got lost", I then re-ordered. One day, two techies arrive at the same time to install the line - one for the new order and one for the "lost" order. Telkom Efficiency (TM).

New Doornfontein (NDF) is actually in the same building as the infamous JDF (doornfontein) exchange, the prefix "new" is simply to refer to the newer part of the exchange because JDF has been around for yonks, even from the electromechanical era

Telkom informed MyADSL that the problems with both high latency and non-connectivity have been resolved. They also said that the 0800 375 375 ADSL helpdesk number, which was down due to high traffic, is again available to consumers.

this is incorrect. it was up for about 20 mins and then down again since then. can someone please check up on this and give feedback??

Telkom could improve on their service by informing clients by SMS when there is a network problem affecting them.

Telkom's having so many problems these days that they might just break the cell networks as well with all the sms's they would have to send.
 
oooooo have a look at this........ *nice*

We have to constantly monitor this and manually restart the service day and night - and this has been happening on our new ADSL line since 6 June 2006.

We have raised complaints at every level but it remains unresolved.

We are implementing alternative feeds as soon as possible, but these will take a few eeks to implement.

In my opinion, the national carrier is no longer able to provide a stable service and alternatives must be established URGENTLY. Telkom have taken no ownership NOR have they shown the ability or will to resolve the issue.

It seems these are congestion problems as we have often experineced pings to 196.25.255.34 of over 7000 ms - when the service is supposedly up.
