ADSL Speed issues affecting Port Elizabeth Area

[Valhallan]

Anyone else experiencing slow DSL speeds in the PE area?

Confirmed the issue at 3 sites across PE...speed tests from 20-10Mb/s lines reading at only 1.3Mb/s across ISPs

Yes, same problem here. Quite a few posts about it in the Afrihost Capped Feedback thread

Im having the same issues in P.E ive tried all isps Crystalweb, cybersmart, axxess, afrihost & webafrica all the same.
speeds are crappy also latency is all over the place.

I know there was a fiber break between Kidds Beach and Wesley this morning that took down my fiber at work...But that seems fixed now

(Cable break on Kidds Beach to Wesley OFSO 01(48f) 11.63km from Wesley on 2017/10/17 at 08:32 affecting various transmission systems.)

There must be another issue affecting the city but Axxess says there is nothing on the OpenServe message board. Or at least the one that was there earlier today was ment to be repaired by 2pm today

Same here in Charlo, PE... 10Mb line achieving only about 1.5Mbps where I normally get 9.8ish Mbps... Vox Capped.

ADSL users in Parsons Hill are also suffering (373/374)

Mine also since Sunday - 40mb down to less than 2mb since then. Glad to see it's not just me

That's just wrong, but at least you only have 10mb, makes me feel better

I suppose I could call telkom and get a speed bump... are you going to call them and make yours slower?

Was just about to create my own thread about this exact problem. I have a 20mb line and getting 1-2mb. In lovemore Heights.

You don't need to call them, I am paying for 40mb now but getting 1/5th of your speed

Same issue in Charlo since Monday morning.
10MB line speed testing at 1.5MB
Axxess appears to know nothing about it and their line test tool in the control panel is not working

 

[bradjackson78]

Almost seems like some sort of shaping. Youtube & Netflix are working 100% for me.
Trying to download a 50MB file from WeTransfer keeps timing out and failing

Shocking upload... after all this time Openserve still don't know why.

 

[froggy74]

Same issue since Sunday afternoon in Lorraine
