I'm thinking of changing my line from telkom to you guys.

The thing is that telkom say my maximum line speed I can get here is 2meg even though I have a 4meg account and my line is syncing at 6meg.:wtf:

Is there any way to check if my line can go up to 10meg?

What are your line stats, and what mode (ADSL2+ or G.DMT)?
 
Your Attenuation and SNR are best indication of potential maximum you could stably achieve. Telkom doesn't update their lists often anyway

We can check for you. Please send us a mail with your line number and we can see what speeds you can get.
 
What are you referring to with this? I think you should quote what you replying to or you might start a rumour.

My Bad! I was referring to the trolls being nice to me. There won't be any Afrikids!

Sorry AfriMan!

:D

(just kidding)

Bar_Rat: you should see a modulation type field?
 
My router is set to auto in the ADSL type. Should i just try switch it around and see what one works?

In the stats screen, can you not see the type?

You could change it to adsl2+ and see if it syncs... but if it's auto it's likely that it's on the best one your exchange supports.
Some adsl2+ exchanges only support 6mb max - mine was like that until a couple months ago.

Ill fiddle with it a bit and see. Thanks for the advice
 
International poked, or just me?

Yeah, having issues my side too. Working remotely on a machine. Remote connection is solid as is Skype but browsing is almost impossible (assuming http is effected).

EDIT: And as I'm typing this the remote connection is lost...
