Since about the beginning of the month Ive been having speed and connection issues with my ADSL, I first noticed it when i tried downloading updates to my PS3. I have to get a 2060mb download for nfs most wanted, and a few times in a row it would get to 60% or even 94% once, then my PS3 disconeected from the internet. Then I tried a few days later and then it said it will take 1255minutes to download the 2gb update. Since then Ive restored, formatted my PS3 and phoned their tech support who told me its my line thats super slow. Then I called Telkom who went through the process of telling me to switch off my router for 2 minutes etc. to tell me my line is fine. I replaced my router, called telkom again who said they'll log the fault and report back to me, thats now more than a week ago. Then 2 days ago i heard from a friend who work at media24 tech department that apparently the undersea cable got dammaged by a ship thats why internet been so bad last few 3 weeks. Do anyone else know anything about this?
Also if my router says my line upspeed is 2mb but a speedtest result shows this : Test conducted on 13 April 2013 11:14:12 AM
Download Speed: 225 kbps (28.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 388 kbps (48.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
Latency: 301 ms
Do the router pick up the real line speed or just what its supposed to be? Can it be my telkom internet account thats causing this trouble, like if I must get prepaid adsl voucher from axxess will that maybe run quicker?
