Hey is anyone having Issues in the Douglasdale area,
mine started last night I'm getting very high pings and dropped packets.

Tracing route to www.mweb.co.za [196.2.63.110]

Trace complete.

That first jump of 70ms I'm thinking is the exchange I'm on the 011462 Olivedale
exchange, anyone else in the Olivedale/Douglasdale also having these Issues.

Did give telkom a shout they reset the ports on my line and still no change, also the tech
said that everything looks fine on his end, so that is great for him I guess.

Anyone in these areas having Issues as well?
Anyone have any special tricks to somehow get Telkom to try sort this issue out?
 
Having a similar problem in Northriding 011704 - down speed of 50k on a 4mb line, logged call this morning and was told that they can see "a fault". Hopefully will be sorted out today but not holding my breath.
 
Yesterday it started getting better and this morning the line seems fine,
so I'm guessing they fixed it for now I hope it stays fixed :().
Atleast you got informed there was a fault I was just told that everything is working.
 
Even asked if the exchange was getting upgraded :) and got the response "that might be the case". Will see how it looks when I get home.
 
Taffy,

you might be on the honeydew exchange. Your distance from there is not that far. I have been having no adsl since early friday morning. So far the most anyone has been prepared to tell me is that there is a problem at the exchange & this results in intermitent net. Well in my case that means zero net.
 
Nope, def on the Olivedale exchange and anxiously awaiting 10mb

line was perfect entire weekend, last night massive pings. He is not on the honey ridge exchange, as my number is also 704, its DSLAM 6 olivedale. And i logged a fault last week monday, because the same thing happened then it sorted itself out and started last night again. Will see tonight if there is any difference, and i also spoke to a telkom tech. He said he doesn't see it scheduled for upgrade any time soon.
 
Thanks Semaphore, pity about the lack of exchange upgrade though.

The problem was not as severe as it was last week thou, last night my downloads where just crawling, last week i was getting packet loss. If you speak to a tech just hope its a savvy one, else you are going to have loads of fun when they cant even diagnose an issue.
