Does it really take this long to get bumped up? i mean they have been doing upgrades for over 4 years... i stand to be corrected....

 

[Earther]

Nope

 

[Grouter]

Not another thread...

No, not to worry friends, our friendly mods will delete / merge / hide / threads as the excitement dies off :/

Test 1:
Test 2:
Test 3:
Test 4:

Slightly higher speeds but as you see its sporadic, fluctation between 0.8 - 5.6

The exchanges seem far from stable at the moment. I have three different sites across the town on 10meg and all seem to re-sync +/- every two hours.

You can either wait (which doesn't sound like an option) so the line can possibly stabilize or phone telkom and downgrade your speed profile to 8MB which should be fine.

Post your line stats here if possible, perhaps someone here can tell you if its the modem/router or line thats the cause

Downstream Upstream

SNR Margin: 12.0 6.0 db
Line Attenuation: 32.5 14.5 db
Data Rate: 8128 832 kbps

SNR seems a little low, but yes syncing at 8mb although as i said b4, it fluctuates. anywhere from 0.8-7.6 now

 

[chrisc]

Are Telkom going to increase speeds that poorer people have (like 384k)? I always live in hope..

DownStream Connection Speed 9355 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed 1016 kbps

VERY STABLE
