Can I be granted a answer now please ?
(Utter BS service)
Wonder if this bs story is evem true.
This is normally when my connection is at its worse so lets try a speed test and see what happens:
Hout Bay, Cape Town, 10Mbs
International is not great but adequate to Stream in SD which is the main use of the line at this time.
Overall a vast improvement.
edit:
Looks like the Speedtest underestimated international.
Here is an actual stream running at 480p on International
No Buffering, great picture.

Sorry about this, the line was definitely supposed to be VDSL by now
I don't have all the details, but I've asked the Genie to follow this up first thing tomorrow morning.

Speedtest back to normal... But streaming from YouTube is near impossible!
Can I get a response as to what the issue with my line is.
Hate this silent treatment cr@p. Do you know and are hiding information like you did regarding that ticket or are you guys just really plain useless

Thanks Afribot deciding to ignore me and then go offline.

Speeds seem to have improved significantly for me since the "tweaks". Ping still relatively high, though. Can anyone on a 2mb line in the South please supply speedtests to compare ?
This started in September Im a bit IDGAF anymore regarding this useless company anymore.
( But yea you have a point... Probably not worth ranting since these oakes are not really in a position to make a change they just give afrihoax certified responses.)
Guess this was my way of venting some frustration since they don't have a office I can walk into and speak to a actual flesh and blood human.

Thanks. I know I can use other ISP. Just wanted to confirm line won't go dead if I pause the service. If I don't see improved speeds by month end I will have to pause ADSL until things improve.
Although I am getting reasonable speeds now it keeps dropping the connection to the server.
It streams for between 5 and 10 minutes and then the feed either stops or it shows as buffered to the end as if an end of file had been sent.
I have tried several servers and get it on all of them, so it is not the particular file or server, it is the international connection.
I am not sure what is worse, watching in SD and constant buffering or seeing part of a video in HD but having to then start it again and skip to where you were every few min.
As soon as one thing is fixed something else breaks

Please don't touch anything! For first time in weeks my download speed is at 8.6Mbps on my 10Mbps line in Cape Town! Pretty awesome to be able to stream a full movie with no buffering. PLEASE keep it like this.
