So this is pure internet joy. Other ISPs would do well to take note.

190ms latency in D3.
Quickly grabbed a 600MB torrent for my stepdaughter - and by quickly, I mean it took 12 minutes.

since the 41.xxx switch my internets not well... the switch back to 105.xxx made a big difference but its peaking about 80kbps lower (350kbps) than before the 41.xxx switch... and very erratic...

On the unshaped package I presume?

I feel the same way about this deal, as I do about attack speed shrines in D3 - It's great at the time, but it's going to make the normal state of affairs underwhelming, in comparison.

I wouldn't normally do the torrent thing during peak hours. She needed this for tomorrow morning, so did a naughty.

THANK YOU GUYS! My boeing is now running on jet fuel! The BUSINESS ISP accounts at other companies should take note of this!

PS informed your live chat as well. Mind you they seemed confused that I wasn't moaning and was just giving a compliment. LMAO
 
Apparently my exchange is congested... sad panda. Can't get over 4.4mbps. Not sure whether the exchange is entirely to blame as that 4.4mbps is almost perfectly repeatable on Speedtest.net

Free Afrihost account gets 6.2mbps. Good chunk faster, although not linespeed.

I think Telkom are doing some work in your area. I sincerely hope it's that, and that this is only temporary. I see that Telkom confirmed the exchange issues with you directly. Just from our side, your account is set to work at full line speed. There is no rate limiting and no incorrect details applied here.

We need more of this, please!

Thanks Lino. You rock. Our support staff are finally learning to smile again, as are management.

:) <<< see? No cracks.

Popped onto live chat to let your techy know what Telkom told me.

Yeah there's massive VDSL rollouts happening in this neck of the woods, so I'm thinking it's to blame. I have to say though, even with the alleged congestion on Telkoms side, latency is absolutely fantastic and browsing is super snappy.
 
Sproglet streaming Netflix at 720 while I d3 at 198ms

I really wanted you guys to experience the network operating properly, so it's great to get this sort of feedback as well, thank you. The network is so good even Telkom issues aren't a big deal. :D
 
My account is borked.
Not sure what the issue is but it can only be dealt with tomorrow.

I am using my Afrihost account now.
