La Lucia Congestion

Telkom managed to fix my line. There is some problem they definitely know about but don't want to fix.
 
Anybody want to go out and get absolutely **** faced, not like we can do anything with this.

Though I must admit, it's a good night tonight, not much lag yet.

Do you know how they fixed it? Moved to new exchange? I know someone on the la lucia exchange who has no issues at all. I really don't understand this ****.

No idea how they fixed it but I have a new line port number. They wouldn't tell me anything.

My ADSL has been down since around 6am this morning.

My internet is down and this corresponds with the fault. I don't have the latency problems.
 
Unfortunately nothing to do with the congestion. Still ****ed. Please can someone teach me how to tweet cos i've sent them about 3 tweets and havn't got a single response. Has anybody else tried tweeting them?

Used to have a noise margin of 13 so at least some improvement.

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 4096 kbps 512 kbps
Line Attenuation 56.0 db 23.5 db
Noise Margin 21.4 db 13.0 db
 
Hopefully with all these ppl getting theirs fixed it will fix ours cos there will be less congestion or sumthing. Or telkom might stop being ****s and fix every1's cos obviously they know their **** is ****ed. Please can you guys share your magic formula on getitng telkom to fix it. I've run out of ideas.

Hmm, i'm also 572. So cancel and get a new line? Probably a good idea but who knows how long that will take. Also how long has yours been ok?

Or order another line and as soon it's installed cancel your current one. Not sure, would say a few weeks probably
 
This has been the best sunday evening for the last 10 months ,drunk with 40ms ping and can actually play some games. 40ms pretty stable. I better enjoy it while it lasts.
