La Lucia Congestion

[Aquadyne]

Sooooo, seeing as i cant do anything anymore cos the congestion is bad all day now i thought i would bump. Is yours still **** aquadyne?

Yeah, it gets much worse with bad weather too.

My good experience lasted for 4 hours last time.

I am currently feeling defeatist....

Have some average moments, but mostly ****e...

My line has been fixed since the 26th of March thanks to the @TelkomZA team on twitter. Have you guys gotten anywhere?

There is also one being installed outside Sunnindale shopping center (Spar/Indian Summer place). ****'s getting real.

I'm in the Glenashley area, and the latency is still really bad..... Did @TelkomZA say what the problem was and how they fixed it???

 

[lilggg]

Meh **** them, they didn't even respond to my tweet. I'm also in glenashley and my pings are still 1000ms + right now.

 

[lilggg]

So how are those MSANS coming along....

The tech I spoke to said that the corner of kensington and broadway was due to be completed around the end of june

 

[lilggg]

Is durban north also congested?

 

[Aquadyne]

Unimpossible...

Is durban north also congested?

no, but seeing as we are around the corner, any news of msan updates is good news...

The only exception ironically being Durban North.

As Durban North is/was the pilot site for the roll-outs. Would have thought it was all done by now for that exchange.

Nope... I've been waiting patiently, only for the tech to tell me I'm 1.6km away, and 1.2km is the max for VDSL

The age has arrived where we start making our house purchasing decisions around Internet connectivity.

 

[lilggg]

Ironically i just started working and they pay for my internet, which is a waste seeing as i cant even get 1mb speeds when i need them.

 

[prodigyX]

GuysiIt looks like the La Lucia area is set to get VDSL in the future.

Source? Is there an updated list somewhere?

 

[lilggg]

I'm getting old will i be alive when this happens?

Got this email from my ISP this afternoon.

"Telkom have advised that your fault is now been linked to a network fault, ref *********. This was logged for congestion between the exchange and the device (Edge router)that connects you to our network (IPC)"

We will follow up with Telkom for feedback on this network fault

My ISP has been fighting with Telkom since Jan this year...... maybe this is the same problem you have Lilggg.
I hope they are on the right path to fixing this latency problem!

The thing that concerns me is that Telkom have fixed my issues yet everyone else still has problems. I wonder what they are actually doing. Is this "congestion" on purpose?
