Anybody managed to get any feedback since Friday?

Fantastic, just plugged mine back in and it seems fine as well.

Mine is intermittent at the moment. Comes and goes as it pleases. Was not working again last night but was fine this morning...

Was there a problem again last night? My router refused to connect again. Was working this morning though...

I had no problems.

How's the DSL performance on the Meyersdal exchange?

Not bad. I can sync at 10 Mbps from about 1.5/2kms away.
I don't always get 10 mbps, but that is more my ISP's fault.

EDIT: Actually it's more like 1.17 direct to my house.
1.65 Kms by road.

Awesome.

Looks like I finally may be able to get DSL

Where abouts is the Exchange actually located?

It's on Hennie Alberts opposite the golf driving range.
You will see a tall steel tower there on the Eastern side of the road and the brick Telkom building about the size of a garage.

Oh sweet - that's not to far for me then

Don't overload my exchange!

 

[Necropolis]

No promises

But now I heard that MTN was putting fibre into Meyersdal as well?

Are you in that area?

[Necropolis]

Yes and no.

I'm in a complex that's inside an office park at the corner of Hennie Alberts and Michelle.

Not sure if the fibre is ever going to get down to us - and the infrastructure in the complex is crap.

 

[LazyLion]

Well since that article I haven't heard anything else about the Fibre.

Yeah - me neither - going to go with DSL for now.

10mb/s (Hopefully) DSL is going to be a good step up from flaky MTN 3G.

 

[Awesum]

I'm connected to the same exchange, but my speed is limited to 4Mbps because its connected via a UMC.
I've applied for the Telkom LTE uncapped.

Order placed today - was told I'm only able to get 4bm/s which sucks - but at least I'm getting DSL
