Haha, okay. Ill have a look at why that is! Are you by any chance running a firewall?

Just the usual windows firewall.. tried disabling it but no luck.
.exe doesn't create any text files, but the zipped version does.. although just had what I pasted in my previous message in it.
Maybe my net is on another level of screwed..

Line has been dodgy for the last 3 days. And no, this is not over Wifi, it is via the cable (which was replaced last month as a fault finding measure, and it is not anything else but a crap line, yet again....)

Your average ping was 71ms
Your maximum ping was 182ms
Looking at your average ping, your line seems to be a bit dodgy :/ This may account for any slow speeds you may be experiencing. However, it could just be related to a high-latency home network (ie... Wi-Fi). If you feel the need, please post the results (at the end of the program) into the forum for advice

Tested this morning at 8am. Guess this isn't just restricted to peak times.

Speedtests won't even complete, they just hang or fail, but I'm only getting 2mb instead of 4mb. Great start to the day.

I'm running into this issue ATM.
Clientzone says changes effective immediately. Moved from "business DSL" uncapped to "uncapped" early April. Funny thing is that I can tell my product has been moved (torrents are shaped - corresponding to 'shaping policy' online) but Afrihost support insist the move hasn't happened and refuse to credit me for the pro-rated difference.
Anyone else hitting their head against this?
We're seeing usage pick up again, it was reasonably calm yesterday so we saw better throughput than we have recently. I'm still hoping that this week leading up to the upgrade will be quieter than usual due to the the upcoming holiday.
The noise margin could be determined by several factors - POTS filters are the first place to look, but there could be induced noise on the line from Electromagnetic interference from electric fences or appliances on the same power circuit as the router, etc. Sometimes it can be pretty hard to pin down.
Are you logging faults with Telkom (either directly or through us)?
Seems like pings seems to get worse as you go along - sorry to see this. So you think your line issues are back again?
I don't think it's an impossibility - Telkom have made people available on Public Holdays before during outages and maintenance. I think it could be a valid date. At the level we're talking about management-wise, I don't think those dates are given out lightly (I hope so).

This does not sound so confident anymore? I have a feeling the ipc issues will remain.

Given the number of delays, I guess I have to leave some room for doubt. But from all indications, the 18th should go ahead as scheduled. I really doubt that there could possibly be any further delays at this stage.

I have logged a fault through afrihost and Telkom about two weeks ago...I replaced all the POTS filters and the router is connected independently. I don't what I can do further...
