Anyone else in the Glenashley area experiencing exchange congestion? I've seen the La Lucia thread and thought we could have one of our own.

Enter your number here and it will tell you what exchange you are on. http://broadbandstats.co.za/search/phone/
I'm not sure how trustworthy it is though.

LOL, it's strange to see a congestion in this area.
I was one of the first persons North of the Umgeni River to have ADSL installed in August 2002. (031562)
I had the whole world to my self then, my line was a 512k (all that was available then) but I actually got the lot at 6 mbit, although my downloads never exceeded 1 mbit and now everything is congested.
Amazing how technology in SA gets worse with time

The main exchange feeding that area is at 5 Norfolk Place just off Kenneth Kaunda Rd. https://maps.google.co.za/maps?q=gl...d=qKnoidjDXT-SdeCNROVocQ&cbp=12,29.57,,0,1.69
It's a DSSU site feeding smaller exchanges in the area and it's very close to one of the core sites (DPSU) in KZN (Pine Str) so providing backhaul capacity should not be a problem but in Telkom things take ages to do. Glenashley probably feeds off the exchange right next to La Lucia Mall (but I could be wrong) which in turn feeds off the main Norfolk Place exchange and then back to Pine Str. & New Germany.
