speeds are not that great in cape town either specially for after 12
That's not good to hear. Our tests are looking normal, but please post some results that I can show the network people

I do have one question though, why is your website being routed via London?

It should have been completely resolved around 9pm, as far as I know.

That's pretty weird - must be routing to a cache somewhere. We'll pass on to the network guys

My international latency is better
got a line fault open due to poor line stats though, my SNR is at 6dB and disconnects a lot at night
Nice to notice the "faster than x of south africa" has gone down, when I first got 10Mbps it was faster than ~91% of South Africa (3 years ago?).

Looks good. If your SNR is right on the cusp of horrible, any small variation is going to cause problems

lol well considering I'm nearly 2000km from your location (I'm living in Hazyview just outside Kruger national park), surely you would have a slightly better international ping

LaraC has better ping than I do though, around 15ms less and she lives in the Eastern Cape.

Hi guys
I've got a bit of a strange problem. We received an SMS last week from Telkom stating that they were doing infrastructure upgrades in our area. This past Monday, we received a 2nd SMS from Telkom stating that the upgrades were complete.
As true as nuts, I had no ADSL service. My modem/router had no sync, and obviously no Internet. I did have a dial tone on my landline though. I reset my modem/router at least 3 times, with no improvement. I logged a fault through the Client Zone, and this was later escalated to Telkom, after the recreation of my port failed. Telkom investigated and said that the physical port was faulty and moved me on to a new port, which caused my line to sync, but for some reason, I still had no Internet.
I am baffled. Please help. The call is still open with Afrihost as my line is through them.

Would love to have a 10mb line
..but my 4mb line is stable and it streams HD no problem, so I'm happy for now. Just wait till I get my fiber:twisted:So just putting this out there as proof for later when ASSIA starts messing me around again.again.

Those SNR stats look pretty close to unstable. I'm sure ASSIA will take care of that shortly

I know, when I was on a 8 MB line ASSIA dropped my line sync to 5600, this going up to 10 MB is only a experiment.
I'll be happy with a 8 MB line and if I get decent speeds with it, but even though my SNR on the 8 MB line was much more stable, ASSIA still dropped me to 5 MB.

I could be wrong, but that would indicate a line fault, had the same issue, turns out it was a 15m segment connecting from the pole to my connection box inside the house, which had interference/crosstalk, they replaced it and bobs your uncle it stabilized. ASSIA would pick that up and drop your line..Very hard to diagnose something like that, unless you point out to the telkom tech where all your joints are located.
I'll see how it goes, I also expected dodgy wiring before, it's a 27 year old house so very possible.
