Don't know what you guys a complaining about...

Telkom ADSL is the greatest!

I have a 512 connection. Been quite slow lately - but don't I feel the fool for complaining about slow speeds to the Telkom ADSL Helpdesk recently!

Just did a Telkom HTTP speed test and apparently my line is doing 16129 (kiloBytes/second)!

You can have a look at http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/502488a08e.jpg if you do not believe me.

Just a pity my download manager only uses 14Kbps of that bandwidth...

Go Telkom!

empty your browser cache and try again!

Sorry to burst your bubble - but your download manager is probably giving you a more accurate measurement as its not caching the speed test.

Hes joking now..

Bu the original was pretty funny, so basically his connection is actually completley screwed and only going at 14kbps.

Thanks Vensters. It seems some ppl are quite touchy when it comes to Telkom issues - to be expected.

This is the first time I exprerienced this. Was quite funny to me to see that 'reported' speed after battling for weeks with speed-test page time-outs.

I did phone Telkom 2 weeks ago about the ongoing slow connection. The operator asked me to open the Telkom speed page (which was incorrectly specified/linked to at that time). I told her that I only got a '404 Error type' page. After trying for the 4th time she merely disconnected me... lol

You reach a stage when all you can do is laugh about their absolute incompetence...

Yes we are not only stuck with one of the most expensive and slowest internet telephone companies in the world but they are also the worst company for horrific service and gross incompetence

Nope, you've got that wrong. They are the BEST company for horrific service and gross incompetence, it's something they excel at!
