Interesting! I had a full week of broadband bliss (SA version) at the new-found speed and suddenly the problems.
I will switch to my other standby accounts and test.

Browsing and downloads are definitely not on the same performance as a few days ago, I could download and do gaming all at the same time, now I have to shut down all downloads while gaming and then still get the dreaded lags and kick outs. You are literally killing me (in game). While browsing I get odd page not loading requiring a refresh and live cricket streaming stutters a bit. Mostly the International stuff. I did however had issues with local online banking a few times too.
Hi wily me,
Is Telkom also busy working in your area? Please can you also drop me the MWEB account details via PM.
Kind regards,

I just had to reset my router again, 40 minutes after speaking with your consultant, who says all is well, and suggested it was my router, even though I have these issues with two separate routers.
I'd love to start getting angry at you guys, but I have no idea if this has anything to do with your service.
I surrender, frankly. Spoken at length with MWEB, and ditto for Telkom. No one seems to know what's happening, so honestly, what else to do but get used to stuck pages and having to reset my router every now and again?
Christ...

First international sites would not load:
1 minute later local sites would not either:
Had to reset my router... again...

Will try get more information on possible work being done by Telkom.

copacetic, thank you for the feedback you have provided thus far. Please can you keep us updated with regards to the feedback you receive from Telkom.

Sure. International dead again, so local should die in about 30 seconds, if history is anything to go by.
*edit*
Or not. Weirdly, cannot connect to any site on another PC on the network.

I just spoke to the relevant department regarding the issues you are experiencing. They are going to call you again with regards to it.
Kind regards,

Thanks, just had to reset again.
If it does it again, will try alt account and see what happens.

On Alt bandwidth now.
I hope it freezes while I'm on it, then we will know it's now MWEB.

Went back to MWEB at some stage, and it's been fine since last night.
Man, this is annoying!

Same here, I used a standby account all was well downloads were meh but ok. Went back to Mweb and all is fine, but downloads were better. This is frustrating. I will monitor my line SNR, etc and see if it varies.
PS: I see it did change
Now:
Line Rate - Upstream (Kbps): 800
Line Rate - Downstream (Kbps): 7040
SNR Margin (dB): 12.5 8.0
Attenuation (dB): 37.0 16.5
Output Power (dBm): 12.4 19.8
Attainable Rate (Kbps): 7616 992
Before:
Line Rate - Upstream (Kbps): 800+
Line Rate - Downstream (Kbps): 8000
Attainable Rate (Kbps): 10000+ ?

Spoke too soon, something weird just happened:
Torrents were running but could not access any websites.
***
Had to restart router again, while trying to post this.
I also must mention that I've had these issues with and without torrents running.

Hi copacetic,
Your technical specialist callback is for today between 18h30 & 19h00

Thanks, although I really have no clue if it's an issue from your side. Every time I speak to the specialists, they say all is well, which could well be correct, but does lead to the obvious question of what the heck is going on here.

The same happened to me, could play LOTRO but websites would not load until I resest my router. My pings to UK is 360ms though
