Please don't blame it on exchange congestion, I have had that ongoing issue for the last year or more (these trace routes look no different to normal for me); and I have alwyas consistently got a few hundred ms ping to EU servers and acceptable download speeds for my 2mb line.
Can't do anything at the moment.
Current issue has been ongoing for about 1 week now.

Like a Yo-Yo. I have to be happy I presume. After all it's best effort!
Hi
Are you getting these problems all through the day or only certain times of the day?
Try doing these same test during the day and again in the evening to see if there is any difference.
I'm afraid from what your traces show though, it seems like it could possibly be congestion at the exchange.

So what are my options? The congestion has been there all year, but as of the last week I might as well not use it from 5pm-12am, which is the only time I'm at home. Congestion is also there all day weekends, will take another trace tomorrow to demonstrate.
Okay, it seems like my line has gone down again. The line is sync'ed but no authentication is taking place. This is getting crazy, its the 4th time this year.

Very, very slow line today. It takes more than a minute to load a normal webpage...
Is it normal that I never get a faster connection than 1,5 Mbit/s although I pay for 2Mbit? The average down speed ranges between 1.0 and 1.5 Mbit/s. Upspeed is at around 0,40 Mbit/s. I am thinking about moving to another ISP as I don't get what I pay for...
Hi capek, send me a trace route to a local and international site.
I don't know if this is correct because it is still tracing (for 5 minutes already) but I only get 12 * * * 13 *** and so on...

Hi feo
Your 2nd hop is very high which usually points to a congested exchange issue.
Have you brought the above results to the attention of Telkom? Please also see following link for more insight regarding congestion: http://mybroadband.co.za/news/adsl/82251-how-to-test-for-adsl-exchange-congestion.html
I have refreshed your MWEB account.
My internet has been fine up until today so I doubt it's a congested exchange (things can't go pear shaped like this overnight).
No, I haven't contacted Telkom yet. Will you be able log something on my behalf or do I need to do that myself?
