bigboy529,

Apologies, I wasn't able to include your message in my reply.

It looks like ASSIA did drop the sync based on the the criteria it uses... I'll check if it is related in anyway to what Telkom is changing on your Exchange.
 
@AfriGenie

Ive found the new network to be great! ASSIA dropped me from 10Mb to 5.5Mb, Ive spoken to a guy who runs ASSIA and he believes ASSIA is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I have proof that its flawed and as such im unpopular at the moment.

Long topic - TCP provides reliable, error free communication and re-transmits bad packets - so I believe. Telkom went to a different school it seems.

Ofcourse a completely unintended benefit of ASSIA is that it frees up core capacity on Telkoms IPC network for the Fibre they rolling out. Completely unintended.
 
5th. Latency was good last night but torrents were quite slow. Currently have so much work, sadly can't really run tests.

ASSIA has it's pros and it's cons. If you've got a decent 10Mbps+ line things are good. It's the marginal instances where ASSIA doesn't seem to be as popular.

Thanks, as you know for now it's not effecting me as I'm anyway not getting those speeds, but we'll see what happens once Telkom sorts out my speed. First hurdle is just getting speeds above 4 MB, after that we'll tackle the rest.

I'm assuming you know how to access your router.

Advanced>Setup>ADSL Settings>DSL mode switch it to AUTO.

Hope this helped.

Yeh im in the router. Nothing like that on the DGN2000. Under advance settings and adsl settngs, all i get is a Multiplexing Method.

I dont think it has that option. Ive gone back to my Huawei Router, but for some reason clicking on GDmt does nothing. In fact, ticking that gives me no connection

Don't do it unless you absolutely have to. The exchange also has to allow you to. It doesn't help against line faults/exchange congestion. It also allows a max of 8/1 Mbps

DNS wise, just use the google one, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
