Awesome mweb adsl bonded speed

[Prof.Merlin]

Around a month ago we went and got mwebs bonded dsl service for 3 lines. 4mbit * 3 = 12mbits. Would be awesome.

Sadly, this is all we get:

The problem is, however, not with mweb. But with telkom. Our offices are in randfontein. No 3g, ibust, neotel. All you have is adsl. The dslam/exchange is now full and saturated. There is simply not enough bandwidth running there.

Have tried everything to complain to telkom. Nothing is working

Any ideas?

Seems like for the past few months, Telkom have been carelessly allowing over-subscription of their ADSL exchanges. This is a COMMON problem now - if you search the threads you'll see virtually every second thread is about someone complaining about their LINE speed or bad latency problems (switching upstream ISP account doesn't matter). ALL these problems stem from Telkom's capacity shortage from the DSLAM to the ESR. The over-subscription isn't the problem, though.. FORTUNATELY they're giving most people ADSL on request - the problem is that they don't seem to give a damn about upgrading the backhaul... and that's going to absolutely cripple them to worthlessness in the next 2 years or so if they do nothing about it... because there's a MASSIVE influx of potential International bandwidth coming in via the likes of the EASSy, WACS, Main One, ACE submarine cables. Virtually all fixed-line last-mile is dependant on Telkom, so its up to them to get their act together and sort that out - fibre-to-the-curb would be an ideal route in light of the copper cable theft problem, but their incompetency has led them to pursue wireless instead, as they are now trying to compete with the other mobile GSM networks

+3 Too much demand for the LL infrastructure - somebody will suffer. Fibre-to-the-Home is an opportunity waiting to happen - which ISP would make the first bold move ?

i had 3 lines, added a 4th for bonded. took about 6 hours to dll a 56meg file today, on a 16meg line, from microsoft. slower than 56kbps dial-up. this belong in the guinness book of records. telscum say nothing wrong. mweb say nothing wrong. paying in access of R10k for slower than dial-up speeds. rediculous.
