Whoelse is experiencing slow internet speeds in the edenvale area? Just checked my bandwidth, still have 11GB data remaining, so i cant be capped...
 
Useless speeds here in Sydenham. Getting between 10 and 35kbps down and 20 - 70kbps up.
 
It just can be overload, that I'm/we're suffering so badly.
 
Bloodly hell

looking at my Signal strength on my Iburst_termnal UTL the thing keeps jumping from fair(40%) to good(60%) then to excellent(80%) after which it goes back down to fair(30%)
to repeat the cycle.
The signal is extremely UNSTABLE, like a rollocoaster ride. I'm in Kensington (Johannesburg)

I'm getting Frame error rates of 5.00 to 12.47 %

WTF is happening ????????
 
massive issues in Cape Town as well >.< Feels like 28k all over again!!
 
thanks. how does this affect local speeds, as even these are appaling right now? The speed test i did was to a locally hosted server. I dont understand why the download speed is an issue, yet upload speed isnt - maybe you could enlighten me.
 
I also got 12 GB Cap, I need to finish 4 of that before end tomorrow.

I am wondering if iBurst is trying to save BW costs for themselves by limiting the consumers speed at the end of the month.
If not, it might be that its a peak time where everyone is trying to finish there cap. This means the infrastructure is useless since no one I know on 4MB ADSL has the same issues.

Wish I was in an ADSL area.
