I'm about 3KM from mine and I get 10Mbps

I'm syncing at 12mb already thanks to ASSIA.
Then maybe 14Mbps on a stable sync, hard to guess though.
Upgrade and see what happens

Okay thanks
Hi guys
Seeing some strange things happen on the North IPC - we're checking things out.

And fixed, small hiccup from our end.
That's a touch far - see if downgrading to 8Mbps helps though
Acording to https://fremnet.net/article/216/adsl-theoretical-speed-calculator
I'm 2317 meters from the exchange
Also looks like I'm on a 8 MB line now because my stats changed slightly, though speed tests is still under 4 MB.

Current upstream is 765, downstream 8190
SNR up 10.8, down 6.3
Attenuation up 18, down 32
As said earlier via PM, me thinks my line is physically on a 4 MB port at the exchange.
The line's definitely up on a 10Mbps profile, but it's only syncing at 8Mbps - your router sync stats will confirm this too
If the throughput doesn't improve, it means that the area can't sufficiently support the higher throughput that your profile is requesting.

So are we just going to leave it here, won't it be worth asking Telkom to investigate what's up at the exchange?

Im on 20mbps, my router syncs and 20, but my speeds are around 6mbps
Latency 10ms and Jitter 1.. Fun times AGwingnut771

IMO, I'm sure Telkom can throttle a connection to protect latency when there is too much contention (congestion).
Why is there congestion on a "new" type exchange?
That is the question
Not at all.
My first recommendation was to downgrade to an 8Mbps profile to see if that helps.
Have you tried requesting a port reset? Worth the shot...
Ok cool I'm on a 8 MB profile now, router stats and client zone confirms it, I also got a SMS from AH.
Speeds still the same so what's the next step?

AH did a port reset from their side last night already, but a physical port change at the exchange no. To be honest I think that's where the problem lies, at the exchange.
While your line's syncing at 8Mbps, it's still on a 10Mbps profile - so changing down to 8Mbps may help.
It means the line isn't constantly trying to sync at 10Mbps.
If that doesn't work, it simply means that your line/ area cannot sufficiently support higher throughput values.
