Have been harassing everyone I can get in touch with, all indications are that we are on track for the South. Still awaiting confirmation of when other regions will be upgraded.

Really sorry about the harsh shaping. We're really hoping that our long term plans will have shaping at an appropriate level in the future.

hope it comes up soon 
I doubt we'll get a specific time. It's usually best practice to do these kind of changes in off-peak times, but Telkom have done it during the day before - so no way to tell really

This has been the case for 2 months, and since the beginning of March, it has been 24hrs a day (every day... with "maybe" 2hrs unshaped every now and then).
Same applies for today.... unshaped from about 05:30 till 07:30

Sigh Telkom, I was hoping their wholesale department would be more professional
I think there is a lot of demands on them - these are very specialised technicians. But let's hope it all goes smoothly

I was expecting it to be done last night, like the North's upgrade not too long ago.I doubt we'll get a specific time. It's usually best practice to do these kind of changes in off-peak times, but Telkom have done it during the day before - so no way to tell really
That would have been awesome - but as far as I know it's scheduled for sometime today.

I am at work and you have my permission to upgrade now!

Really sorry to hear that, we hope that when our upgrades go through that we can get this sorted.

If this carries on for much longer, I'll probably move to another ISP - probably a capped product.
I've got some really bad news, guys.
We've been informed by Telkom that they can't install the IPC upgrade in the South today. They have now promised that they will do so by the 18th of April (about a week or so from now). We're really disappointed with this, and we'll continue to follow this up to see if anything can be done to speed this up with Telkom or if we can at least confirm this new date from them.
This will affect IPC delivery in the East as well, as both orders are concurrent, and should be delivered roundabout the same time.
I'm truly sorry about this, and I can understand that some clients are going to feel very upset about this. I promise that we've done our best to get commitments for today, and as far as we knew (up till just now) everything was confirmed for delivery today.
I'm definitely available by PM if anyone wants to discuss how they feel about this delay, and obviously we'll discuss this here in our threads.
Really, truly sorry about this additional unforeseen delay
