Just when I need the damn ADSL line for university...Telkom decides its time for a fck-up.
They killed the one telephone line. 100% dead. Whatever...I'll use a cell.
On the second line (adsl+fax), they switched something at the DSLAM. The port number is different and its obviously some else's setup because its attempting (&failing) to syncing at 4mbps not the old 384.
SNR Margin (dB): 15.1 8.0
Attenuation (dB): 46.0 29.5
Output Power (dBm): 17.7 10.5
Attainable Rate (Kbps): 1248 92
Rate (Kbps): 1088 32
Yesterday the down SNR was negative.
If one calls the line, then the fax rings...but with a 5 second delay. i.e. it starts 5s late and ends 5s late.
The WA account isn't working because the DSLsecure is blocking the different portnumber. That can be fixed.
However, a prepaid PnP Axxess voucher is also not working anymore. Which kinda puzzles me because the prepaid Axxess local is still kinda working (with the above stats). Having loaded the username & pwd info onto 3 computers I figured that I don't need the voucher anymore.
Stupid...I know...but now I can't check/follow up on this because I don't have the pwd anymore. I'm 99% sure its not capped yet.
Anybody know how I can retrieve the pppoe password? (xp SP2/3)
Could the axxess intl login troubles be linked to the adsl issues? (Timing is ~ the same)
What does it take to convince Telkom to put the line back onto a working portnum? (A fault has already been logged and they should have been here today).
Any advice/suggestion/theory of what is happening would be appreciated.
