Mine works fine hey. I know there was a problem with a Telkom satellite uplink yesterday.
I've tested Capped and Business and they seem to be working pretty well. Are you having a specific issue, or is this a general comment?
Wow, some nippy speeds this morning.

Haha, the local speedtest used up 18MB in those few seconds. That's just insane.

Im still getting these pings. When I run a tracert all is sub 200. But weneva I play online afrihost is the only isp im getting over 350. Have to switch to my capped Telkom acc to play.
This isn't ideal
How are things looking this morning?Could you drop me a PM with your line number please, I'd like to have a look at things for you.
Something seems to be buggered with international today.
Pinging bbc.co.uk gives me normal pings of 180-ish, but I grabbed an ftp file and got an average of just over 200KB/s (compared to 1MB/s yesterday). I noticed news.afrihost.co.za is also maxing out at ~180KB/s today.
Local is flying as usual.

Could you post a traceroute up so we can see where the latency is being introduced?
We aren't seeing any general trends with our news server, do you have the full 5 connections setup?
And you aren't downloading anything older than 200 days?

Afrihost, please take over the whole of Telkom.
Tired of this disconnect crap. Connection died at around 9:40am and 5 reboots later and still no luck.
Edited to add: 6th time rebooting and now have a connection. I love Afrihost, Hellscum on the other hand...

Newish stuff, tried it with several items. Using 10 connections. My stuff this morning also went at < 2Mb/s. It's weird, because I'm not doing anything different to yesterday or the day before.
It's faster now though - 175KB/s at 5am, 8am was 220, now it's 260.

But the web based control panel for the router shows it is syncing at 7008kb/s:
Or am I missing something here?
Mine's running fine (10Mb).

What happens if you pull ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.za/debian/debian/ls-lR.gz , speed-wise? You should be getting around 700KB/s-ish.
Intl is definitely not running fine though. Not getting more than 4Mb now :/
(on files/browsing as well as speedtest)

400 - 480k/sec.
Can you connect to guest@telkomadsl / guest
and do a speedtest to capetown.spdtst.saix.net/
and post the results?
Your speeds are lacking, and the above would indicate whether it's your line or possibly AH.

Where do I find that?
At your router's internet credentials, type
username: guest@telkomadsl
password: guest
Only Telkom wholesale sites work then,
Go to : capetown.spdtst.saix.net/
It will show you a speedtest.
Let's see how things go today, drop me a line if you notice things slow down again.
