Hi
I've been having a problem for about 2 weeks+ now. I've called Telkom several times, they say they will do something, I get the sms that its fixed and my problem persists. I know there has been problems in the area too.
My line has been randomly disconnecting. When it reconnects its usually at a lower speed. I have to wait till the stats on my router look more normal. I reset and its back to normal speed till whenever it decides to randomly disconnect and reconnect at a lower speed again. If I try and reset while it there seems to be a problem the line usually syncs at a random bad speed.
Is this a router problem? I don't want to buy another for no reason and I've had this exact problem in the past before - it was always a problem Telkom's side in the area that needed to be fixed.
Upstream Downstream
Current Rate (Kbps) 511 2427
Max Rate (Kbps) 624 3664
SNR Margin (dB) 9.3 6.3
Line Attenuation (dB) 23 35.8
Occupancy (%) 81 60
This is what I'm seeing on the router while there is a problem. My line is 4megs. When the max rates go higher again. Is it possible that this is a router problem? I still think its a line problems and I don't know how to check if a router is faulty or not but since I've had this exact problem before in the past with Telkom I am thinking it is a problem their side - it's just never taken this long after so many calls to try and fix for me before.
Also can my account please be refreshed?
