Pretty much the same as DSL.After you have reached your threshold your account may be throttled.
So why arnt they listed? What are the thresholds?

Donovan dropped it in order to see if it would help sort out the issue, in case it's due to too low an SNR margin, which it isn't.
I see and what speeds do they get throttled to once throttled?

Yeah, if you're seeing the same results on multiple accounts it really confirms congestion.Telkom will usually prioritise exchange maintenance based on demand in your area. Are your neighbours experiencing similar problems?
I'm not sure, I can try and find out. For some reason very few people seem to have ADSL/landlines installed in their homes (based on my experience while looking for new places to rent in the past).
I moved my line from 8Mbps to 4Mbps yesterday, but since this didn't help/work, I will be moving my line back to 8Mbps, so I can atleast get faster speeds over the weekends. Really hoping I don't get billed double because of going from 8 > 4 > 8 in the same month.

The reason the speeds aren't listed is that it's dynamic and based on network load. We'll throttle clients on these accounts more as demand increases.

You shouldn't be double billed... Feel free to dfrop me a PM with your details if you'd like me to confirm.
If throttled are things like online games affected?

Unlike shaping, throttling focuses on all protocols. So yes, depending on the severity of throttling, online games will probably be affected.

It looks like the request was logged, we're just waiting for it to get done.

It's a case of waiting for Telkom to process it from their side.
The time that takes can vary a bit.

Well, I found more stats using telnet:

Also the line fault, has it been reopened?
