Apart from the slight hiccups now and then (nowhere near as bad as they were), the line is running fine.

Cases of Bells to Afrihost. I'll consider one bottle of Bells for Hellscum for taking so damn long to fix things.

Awesome. I'll PM you our address for that case of bells. We really need it right now ;)
 
Afriman, what's happening with the capacity you guys ordered? I believe the ISP's are struggling to get it to go live...

They are awaiting Telkom to allocate the capacity :) we will just have to be patient for the time being

We're waiting for Telkom to give us an official ETA, we don't have any indication at this point. Judging by past experience, delivery can vary. Also, we've ordered a substantial amount so they may be importing the components.

We did order last year though :(

We're not seeing general latency at the moment, demand is dying down as people log off and head home for Phuza Friday.

When did you run these tests?
 
How are "All systems are performing within specified parameters"?? Seriously AH, can you at least say "Telkom done ****ed it up" on your website because there IS a problem with the network. :(

I am in KZN, and have not had a single problem for a few months, might be your exchange, copper or modem.....

As an Afrihost client (at home - we resell IS and MWeb at work) for the last 3 years I just wanted to say that I have had no major issues to date and their service has been impeccable!

Add to that the competative pricing - I could not be happier :-)

(I figured with all the flack they get it was only fair to hear from a happy customer)

This
 
Copper is good, with 22dB downstream SNR and 32dB Line Attenuation.

Modem is perfect.

What speed you syncing at, and what speed profile are you on?
And do you sync using G.DMT or ADSL2+ Modulation?
According to your stats, you are about 2.3KM away from the DSLAM/IMAX
Those readings are acceptable or average, but the higher speed you sync at the more strain is placed on your line.

Here are my readings

Copper Length(km) 0.38
Upstream 1019 kbps
Downstream 10015 kbps
Attenuation Downstream(db) 4
Attenuation Upstream(db) 4
SNR Margin Downstream(db) 27.0
SNR Margin Upstream(db) 20.0
