DigiChilli January Status and feedback

Amarjits mentioned that he was not happy with the speeds being close to what they should be...Here are the telkom tests...384kbps line and I'm not getting the speed I pay for.

That's why it's called "Best Effort Service"...

On DC Uncapped, I get almost the same speeds...4-5KBps less...For R300 per month...

298 kbps down (~0.3 Mbps, 36 KB/s) ↓
100 kbps up (~0.1 Mbps, 12 KB/s) ↑

I want to get into there site so that I can cool down my account. I will try DC again in a couple of month when they fix everything. i am now sick and tired of struggling.
 
Still alive my side but things are well unstable but at least for the first time in 2 weeks I saw speeds above 30kB/s :wtf: Doubt it'll last I'm sure my account will die soon too :p

So, the MyConnection PC program, always gives the average speed, between 0 and the highest steady part, if there is a drop to 0, as seen with the test.
