Hi

Has anyone else been experiencing terrible performance on their DSL lines in this area? As far as I can tell I'm on the "Wynberg Umc B40b1" exchange.

For the past few weeks the latency and speed have been incredibly inconsistent and usually terrible for a 4mb line (300-900ms ping to CT servers, <1m download speed). I've tested with multiple accounts and it appears to correlate with peak usage times so I think all signs point to a congested exchange. Typically, Telkom have just closed my fault ticket without any communication and my ISP (afrihost) don't appear to be able to do anything about it.

Can anyone help?
 
I'm near the corner of Voortrekker / Mike Pienaar in Oosterzee, Parow & I'm having the same problem. Only since the Easter weekend though. Just scored this.

Only after 2am did it let up the one night.
 
Back and forth with Telkom on their Facebook wall. Apparently my exchange is having "routine maintainence" tomorrow night. Let's hope that makes a difference.

Hey yoless which exchange is that? I am in Kenilworth, as far south as you can be on the clarich exchange.

I have not had adsl since last Friday.

Adsl light is solid, but can't establish a pppoe connection at all.

Have tries different routers, isp accounts.

So frustrating as I have still not even seen a telkom tech when I phoned again today (it's takes min 35mins to get through) the last time they had worked on my problem was Tuesday at 10am.

What is wrong? In the dark here

"Routine maintenance" on my exchange has fixed my problem.
