We find that in the late afternoons during the week and almost all weekend there is ridiculous download speed. Upload speeds seem to be consistent with those during other times. The reduction in speed fluctuates between 50%-90%. As a household that made the move to online media from satellite TV, this is especially painful. Books have made a return!
According to the Telkom technician that came to fix a break in the liine atfter the storms last week, he reckons there is plenty of congestion at the exchange as its a common problem in the area and there is nothing he can physically do to fix it or pacify the areas residents!

-- 031 783 xxxx
-- 4Mbps
-- Afrihost Business Uncapped
-- 1600 - 2200 weekdays, inconsistent but pretty much all weekend
