EDIT 3: My last 20 or whatever speedtests over a month:
http://www.speedtest.net/results.php?sh=1145b2f061b546865da89e922da960fe&ria=0
EDIT4: I also want to add I get the same problem/speeds on my wired desktop, wired and wireless laptop, and on my phone!
0. What echange are you connected to, first 6 digits of phone number and name.
sorry I don't know which exchange? Its in Rosebank tho, first 6 digits are 327 398 of the line
1. What is your line speed?
2mb/s line
2. Who is your ISP and what package do you have with them? What is you current usage for the last 10 days and are you possibly throttled?
I have a few accounts, a capped and uncapped account with axxess, an uncapped account with openweb, and a 1G trial account with afrihost. All giving me the same issue! The results below are with the openweb account. 100% not capped on any of em since I can't use em at all for the last month.
3. From your routers web interface post your line stats wrt to SNR, attenuation & ATM status.
Connected at 2048 down, 512 up. Max speed it says i can get is 12016 down and 1152 up. noise margin 31.8/13. attenuation 6/1.5. (What is ATM?)
4. Do a speedtest to your closest server and post the results
http://capetown.spdtst.saix.net/
You'll think i'm nuts, but I cant run a speed test on that link. It pings, and i have a good low +-30ms ping, then the download part just sits there and never connects. I've tried it on the speedtest.net site, and once in awhile the download will actually begin, when it does its speed is about 0.15 to 0.30, if the download actually happens then upload speed is always fine at 0.45.
EDIT: after couple minutes it shows 0.26mb/s downloading, but its stuck there and not moving
EDIT2: it finished, says 34ms ping, 0.26 down, 0.45up
5. ping & traceroute telkom.co.za and post the results here.

6. Download the first 30-50MB of
ftp://ftp.saix.net/pub/linux/distri...9/Live/i386/Fedora-Live-Desktop-i686-19-1.iso with a decent download manager and tell us what speeds you average.
In the 5 minutes I've been trying to download the download manager its successfully done 320KBs. It sometimes shows its downloading at 3.4kb/s but most of the time at 0. I tried downloading the FedoraLiveDesktop(?) thing without the download manager and its doing the same thing. Oh they both just failed 6 minutes in.
Wrt 6 above:
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/wxdownload_fast_portable is a small portable multithreaded download manager you can try, set it to 1 thread and see what you get and then set it to 10 threads and see what you get. You can also try wget for windows or visualwget if the command line is not your cup of tea.
Post the info from the above and we can take it from there.[/QUOTE]
