That sounds pretty bleak I would say - I saw in a later post that things improved - but still a pretty odd response here

Yeah - obviously must be line related or exchange issue as the afrihost people will say.

AH on a bad day beats OW on any day so far for me.
Granted, I have a half speed issue at the moment, but it beats the NO speed issues I had at OW.

So calls AH, gets aha, ok, ok, ah yes, ok ....... much laughter the background ... interrogating line .... waits ..... asks for ticket number ... gets it wrong a few times .... cant figure out gmail from client zone ... ahs and oks... says he stabilised the line (which the last time slowed the line) .... will e-mail technicians to see why they didnt respond (this helps me NOTHING) .. ooms and ahs a bit ... starts to stutter.. phone bill racks up, customer gets the shirts and hangs up ..... 10 minutes of sheer frustration and a healthy bill for the cell call.
What kind of guys do you hire for support???
Why dont you just do your job, and answer my ticket .... not impressed today ... not in the least.
Let me help you ... LOG A FAULT WITH TELKOM - GET THEM TO CHECK THE LINE ... IT WORKED AT 4 Mbps BEFORE I JOINED YOU.
Frustrated ... walks away from PC, kicks the cat, slaps the kid, kicks the dog, dog bites my leg .......

I just switched back from UnoTelly's DNS servers to Afrihost's, and everything is full speed. Could be a coincidence? Are the rest of you using UnoTelly as well?
Update: I take it back. Even with Afrihost's DNS settings, everything is not quite what it should be. Multi-threaded international NNTP is up & down, speedtests are unpredictable, browsing is horrible
