Cool, will do thanks. It's not critical, and my next stuff only comes out tomorrow, so will see how it goes then. Will monitor my other intl speeds but luckily the majority of my stuff is local at present.

100Gb capped account and 10Mb line. Speedtest results always used to be at 7Mb or higher, but it has slowly declined.

Please PM me, I'd really like to see what's happening here. We'll sort things out where we can :)

Oh you're on that side.
Weird that you're having problems then. Definitely shouldn't be having a degrading connection :/

We're on the other side of Dely Road, basically straight to the right hand side of the point on the map where the exchange is. Like I said, it was fine with speeds above 7Mb with no issues. Just lately it has gone south.

DSLAM Results (Telkom Exchange)

General Status
There no defects on the line.

Cool, @ bursty-dude
Your SNR is fine, (11.8) so it means your line can potentially sync at about 10Mb.


From my side now though...
