[LazyLion]

Now what?

 

[LazyLion]

OK, so I guess it is just me.

Don't make me start all the diagnostics

 

[Daniedj]

Nope. Mine is dead slow. I could rather post the stuff. I'm in Rivonia.

I'm the same. Durbs is also slow atm. :/...When will we get stable internet?

 

[BeLgaRiOn]

I'm dead slow here too.

I tried some speed-tests to SA.

Johannesburg is slow:

Capetown is EXTREMELY slow:
NO RESULT until now

Cant access many websites with ADSL. Even mybroadband times out. Is Telkom experiencing any issues? I lost connection at 4:30 and could only resync at 5:15 but since then Internet is basically dead.

 

[Mr_Kruger]

There is a sign of life in Cape town:

But it is still very slow.

Here a speedtest from 9-6-2008:

I had to turn off my OpenDNS server settings in my router. If you are using OpenDNS try it without those settings.

dead here too ... near Northcliff, JHB

it has apparently gone down around 16h, and this is second day in a row! Last night it was unusable until 23h or so!

Telkom as usual not picking up their phones AT ALL!

Clearly things are only getting worse ...!

 

[Prof.Merlin]

Bit of a late reply, also in northcliff, about 2 blocks away from northcliff corner shopping centre, internet was slow whole day yesturday

 

[Prof.Merlin]

Now there is a beeeg problem!!

Everything very slow.

Pinging to saix.net gives me over 400ms.

Ping to my server that usually gives about 40ms now gives 400ms and sometimes times out.
