(Don't be scared to post if you already see your area listed. The more people who complain about the same areas the better it is.)

That is actually quite decent compared to the international speeds I'm getting. The scary thing is that the situation is deteriorating. It has gone from only affecting me on weekday afternoons/evening to affecting me on Sunday afternoons. The fact that the issues have lasted for a month despite being reported is very depressing. Telkom just doesn't seem to care that their network is broken. It is just complete apathy, disdain and disrespect for their customers, their infrastructure and themselves.

Here are the speeds I'm getting right now(16h00 Sunday, 05 May, 2013).

It has been two weeks since I filled this out and sent it to the rep. After complaining he finally gave me a reference number a week later. Other than that there has been absolutely no feedback. They just don't care.

@BobsLawnService....that's bad very bad service from Telkom Mobile:mad:
I stopped using my 8ta / Telkom Mobile sim card and opted for Cellc's Giganite 20 @R249:) which is much better and cheaper and I buy CellC R50 supercharge and convert to 300mb data (350mb with the free 50mb you get) just to surf during the day.

Intenational speeds after 18h00 drops like a rock, it's worse than a dialup, i honestly think there's some major problem with international speeds which we don't know about.
