your speed is

27.2 kbits/sec

Dear Telkom, once again thank you for the first ADSL service in the world that actually give speeds inferior to the original modem.

Another first for you guys! Keep it up.[:(!][:(!][:(!][:(!]

on dslreports.com I got 352 kbits/sec at 00:58

Wish it was always like this...[:)]
 
Hi guys

The speed today is absurd. I have just done the test, and my speed is: 7.69 kbits/sec
It is a sad state of affairs indeed. I wonder where this will end. I can not even open CNN! Does Telkom simply want the whole service to collapse?

My adsl also sucked right from the beginning. The ethernet modem telkom supplied, wouldn't reconnect after disconnecting, it had to be powered off and on 4677834 times a day, after about 3 weeks of fault logging, complaining and threatening, some technicians just came out to do ... wait for it ... absolutely nothing.

After about another week, I managed to get a new modem...it connected by itself now, but half of the day, it couldn't be used, cause there's nothing that's fast enough to connect to.

I think telkom's service is apalling, I worked there for a while, and really, people get way above normal salaries for doing nothing most of the time.

Something needs to be done urgently, the best being to bring in some competition, outside international competition, let telkom prove their worth with some pressure on their shoulders!

Regards
 
Hi Guys,

I have been reading the forum with great interest. While i wish I could offer a silver bullet to get around this silly situation that we are all in I cant. But What I can offer is a a chance to try something that would speed up your web browsing and web based downloads by around 5-8 times while at the same time decreasing the number of bytes sent and received over your line. Right now the system only works on HTTP traffic, however in few weeks time we will be releasing a SME version of the service in the USA and Europe which will include a e-mail compression module which will optomise e-mail by around 50-80% depending on content. We are also looking for pilots to try out the SME system please mail me if you are interested.

We are currently piloting the residential version of Artera turbo in conjunction with the nice people at IS. please see www.arteraturbo.com for more info on how the system works. If any of you would like to try the residential version out for free please go to http://download.Artera.com/SA and download the zip file to your hard drive. Then extract the files and run the install shield wizard which will walk you through the configuration of the client.

There is a speed test utility built into the client which will test your connection speed with and without Artera Turbo running. I would recommend that you visit www.toast.net/performance which has a similar speed test but is independent of the Artera network for a comparison. Both these tests measure the throughput of HTTP traffic by comparing the time taken to download a mixture of data to the size of the file. The results may very depending on what time you connect and the congestion of the greater internet at that time.

Built into the client is a users guide which should be able to answer most of your queries however should you have any issues please feel free to drop me a line.
