DSL probems today?

[Prof.Merlin]

Anybody got problems with their lines? I get packet loss of about 66 % on 4mb VPN line. One of out techs said that telkom having nationwide problems...

 

[Nod]

Have had problem on my 4Mb for the past 2 months. If I do get any kind of speed it's 1.8Mb max. Last night I could ping some sites, some not, and couldn't open any websites. Could send mail, but not receive anything (download simply times out).

Been having problems for 5 weeks. No resolution in sight. Neither Axxess nor Telkom appear have any idea of what the problem is. Welcome to the Dark Side!

 

[Prof.Merlin]

What exactly is your problem?

 

[Superman]

No probs for me ;_)

 

[PCTECH]

What exactly is your problem?

Slow browsing, pings upwards of 150 to SGS games servers, often no ADSL service. Yesterday I experienced at least 7 periods ranging from 10 minutes to an hour and a half with no ADSL. The router shows I'm connected but I cannot browse or even download mail.

See http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=93122 for my first complaint about this problem.

Have now been on hold to Telkom to query status of my fault report for 30 minutes...

Down, as in Down here. Just called SAOL and they say major SAIX problems since 11:30 today.

Never thought I'd say this, but thank goodness for iBurst.

I'm also having huge issues, it has been really bad this last few days or so. My line occasionally syncs at 4096/384 but more often than not it is at 2944/384. Also, my line attenuation occasionally spikes up my about 10dB or so and my noise margin drops to around 6.5/9.0

It is almost as if the exchange is randomly getting up and moving itself another kilometer away from my house, causing me to get really bad signal, even though it (the exchange) is just around the corner.

wtf?

yeah slow speeds ... very slow
