And no, sending yet another technician to my house isn't going to solve anything, the past 2 confirmed that the signal is fine and that the quality is indeed horribly unstable, rather get whoever are calling themselves network engineers to actually address the problem or at least release some sort of public statement on what is going on with the network.
 
Sell your house/car and move to the Karoo and become a sheep farmer. Then by the time SKA is done you will hopefully be allowed to piggyback on their network and never lag again :)

Or I'll just emigrate to a place where the Telecoms industry isn't so terribly incompetent.
 
But this is kak tho, I have had spikes but my latency usually stays around 300.

Thanks for the concern, a Telkom representative actually phoned me today to ask if my issues have been resolved. For now, everything is working well, thank you.

I'll be keeping a close eye for the next few weeks, but so far everything is running smoothly!
 
Tested the 8ta service via my phone (same way I was using Vodacom) service was intermittent, disconnected regularly, failed to download an 8Mb file 6 times, using command line to test latency to google approximately every 25th ping timed out with latencies ranging from 200ms to 3000ms when doing no browsing, to attempting to browse simple pages. Pings to battle.net (twilightgaming.co.za) lowest pings were 170 stable for about a minute at most using BNetGateway tool, the most reaching 18000ms unless otherwise timed out. Hardly efficient enough for playing a single game.

Code: 
ping www.google.com /t

Hardly worth it, it seems.

Will test it at home again, just for good measure, not holding my thumbs though.
Will also post screen shots of system log and command line ping tests.

Couldn't run speedtest.net nor pingtest.net due to failing to download adobe flash player (mentioned above)

UPDATE:

Tried to test it again, still using my HTC Sensation.
First off, I got a better sync... Got HSDPA, <-80 rssi instead of 3G like earlier.
There weren't nearly as many disconnects.

Managed to do a few speed tests

As reference below I'll post my Vodacom speeds shortly before using the 8ta sim.

Back to ground zero again.

Spikes from 400-3000ms constantly, completely unplayable. Great.

Hi sTrideR|JP!

He phoned me late last afternoon saying he couldn't make the appointment.

Also, I really don't see how sending yet another technician here is going to change everything. You have readings from the last 2 guys, and the hundreds of speedtests/pingtests I have conducted, why do you need to send someone again?
