International Connectivity

<conspiracy on> Telkom is killing int. bandwidth so that no one can use (rape) their connections for the end of the month download fest (esp. before the Nov. f*uck up) :( </conspiracy off>

BTW : Torrents are flying at -0.00 b.p.s. :mad:

D.
 
Just whatched all my teamates in wow get killed by horde as i could not move or do anything thanks to 10000 ms
 
All links going through IS has problems i think. Maybe their Sat is down for the international link. Dunno
 
Only been on DSL for about 3 months and I can see I made a huge mistake. Now I'm stuck with a 2 year contract.
 
Just incase any telkom rep is eyeing this forum, you have a problem!! I know it "best effort" but could you please try a bit harder!

Yeah WoW/Guild Wars totally stuffed at moment :(

I am unable to run Trace Routes using Command Prompt since i got ADSL, any idea why?
 
Ok - i admit... it was me... :o
I was downloading life on my 192k line (a 460meg linux distro) and i must have overloaded the part of the undersea link that telkom allocates to the public... my bad :mad:
 
Ambo - turn around *sharp noise such as a very long blade would make after meetingf flesh* *evil laughter*
 
ftp to US Server stuffed as well as internaltional browsing very slow.
been slow/dead on and off the last week. also many timeouts from international and local (IS) mail servers
 
Anyone still experiencing problems? On IS uncapped 196.206... ip range and almost nothing international...like being capped.
 
International down again!!!!

ISP = SAOL
Account Status = Uncapped
Location = Gauteng East Rand
Status = FEDUP WITH TELKOM'S BS!! :mad:

Just spoke to SAOL tech support who inturn had just followed up on a complaint logged by them with Telkom earlier this evening regarding connectivity issues. According to Telkom, the earlier Int. connectivity issues were caused by a problem with the line between Randburg and Hong Kong. Telkom reckon the problem has been sorted out when, quite clearly, it hasn't. You gotta wonder what the deal is when they feed their reseller ISP's the same CRUD that they so liberally dish out to us end users all the time!!

So who wants to join me in raising funds to by our own, privately owned undersea cable?? :p :p
 
good i was thinking it was only me who was getting cruddy speeds and lag bumps :( and its double experience on the mud i play www.dsl-mud.org :D xcept its laggy so i am succeptable to pvp :( and south park is comming out an smallville and .... where's my bandwidth!! :o

Same thing here. Klerksdorp, Telkom ADSL 192, intl downloads creeping with 5k (usually I get >20), intl sites extremely slow. No torrent usage here. Last night everything was fine. What the heck is going on?
