ADSL slow today.

Yeah - big time.

Some things slow, others not. I notice IS servers I can't get faster than 3kbps, but I'm getting 48kbps from Saix - that is killing all other bandwidth tho.
 
Yeah - there's definately some network outage somewhere along the line. Even my email has been slow to respond today. This site usually I don't even notice loading - it just "appears", but today it's not snappy.
 
Tracert's don't show a problem anywhere?

PS: Maybe Winston Smith snuck into Telkomonopoly HQ :D
 
Hey guys, it is 1 Feb..... Maybe it is all the VOIP Calls that is taking the bandwidth? :-)
 
Still slow?

Hey guys,

I know this thread is two days old, but I'm still getting slow speeds...

Now, is it a problem that everyone is experiencing? Or is it just me and is my ADSL broken?

Here are some results from pinging various South African websites (I have a TelkomSA account btw.):

So obviously something is VERY wrong...
Is this a problem you people are experiencing as well or should I phone Telkom and k@k them out?

Please let me know.

Thanks

Phone Telkom anyway. :D

Its most probably a Value Added Service from Telkom ;-)
