ADSL upgrades: what if you cannot get 10Mbps?

Mr.Jax said:
I live in PvR and my line syncs at 10Mbit. ADSL checker also reports that 10Mbit is available if I use my number.

I tried a few numbers of businesses in the area and some report 10Mbit whilst others report 4Mbit.

Wonder why the inconsistency (two exchanges in pvr?)

Probably a mix of old and new DSLAMs in the PvR exchange building.

This is the case for me too. I know someone on the same exchange that gets 10mbps, but I'm stuck on the older 4mbps DSLAM.
How can I get Telkom to move me to a newer DSLAM ??
 
Well my exchange is 10 meg capable and dslam but because I am on some old infrastructure UMC box I can't get it so stuck on 4 megs :(.

It is also my situation and I'm struggling to have my service moved over. :cry:
 
When are Telkom going to give us the option of modifying our services (like ADSL) online and such?
 
I'm still waiting for my 10Mbps upgrade that was promised in 2010 :(
 
The A in ADSL became very apparent when my line was upped from 2 - 4. I regularly get 3,7 down, but only 0,45 up. Doesn't bother me much, but still odd.
 
Haha - 10Mb. I just want a stable 4Mb. Once upon a time I had 6Mb, now I have 3Mb. No explanation just a f-off from telkom.

Telkom: Endeavor to fix the network I am paying for dammit!!!

@MickeyD Any idea on when/if Telkom plan on upgrading Kenwyn beyond 4Mb?

I had the same issue...I had 10mbps, then 8, then 4, then 3 and eventually 2...

It took a lot of fighting to get it back up to 10mbps and stable.
 
Sorry to resurrect this thread but I felt my question is relevant to this thread.
According to Telkom's website, Fast is 1meg, Faster is 2meg and Fastest is 4/10meg. Should 2meg be Fast, 4 Meg be Faster and 10meg Fastest?

Clients who can't get 10mbps should be given 2 X 4mbps lines bonded for the same price to compensate for their lack of infrastructure. And we are talking YEARS since 10mbps became available.
