EDO3 Exchange Congestion - High Latency

Over the weekend my connection was sweet, no problems. I just hope it stays that way.

My line was dead for a minute or so a few times, but I dont know if that is related. Other than that, I had no problems.

Thanks to the people that fixed whatever was wrong.
 
I wanted to get an official answer from TelkomZA but just got a copy paste reply of the same response :mad:

Same happened to me over the weekend
 
Hi Guys,

I see I am also connected to EDO03 which explains my frustration. Thanks for all your trouble in raising this with Telkom.

I recommend you send a pm to telkom explaining the problem and put this thread as reference that there is a problem so that we can put more pressure on them as that seems to be the only way of getting telkom to fix a problem.
 
Battling again tonight

Thanks Nerf. I have posted results from tonight and sent a PM.

Now just holding thumbs :whistle:
 
So for the last 3 days things were once again not working as it should. Its still not as bad as it was a week or two ago, but it definitely isnt as it should be. This is not how I want to start a weekend ;(

ADSL line virtually unusable again as of late. Followed up again on a ticket I logged with Telkom almost three months ago and I was told that something wasn’t “right” with the ticket and I ended up having to log a new ticket which I haven’t received any feedback on for more than a week. Words fail me, I’m tired of continuously fighting just to get the basic service I’m paying for. Will PM TelkomZA and keep everyone updated on the feedback I receive.

Telkom remains pathetic and useless

Im now having problems with my line every day between 12 and 6 PM I hear funny static noises on the line and the ADSL losses sync only after 6 PM it all goes away and line syncs happily at 6 mbps - Telkom techs too incompetent to find the problem after three tickets

Nothing they do will fix there image

/end of rant of anger :(
