New installation...

Well after a month of waiting for my line to be installed I'm still waiting... Granted after all the phone calls no one has mentioned any installation fees, guess I'll get a surprise when I get my bill but I'll be more surprised when I actually have a line.
 
Well well well.....

My lines are all installed/activated and working like a bomb.

I've learned a few things in my application process which I can now pass on to my brother with his application.

Anyway, I'm set up with a 2mb line. My ADSL line was activated on Friday afternoon and as I was busy this weekend I haven't played around much with it besides for queuing some downloads for after hours and it's not to shabby. According to Telkom website my area only does 4mb (though I don't trust this as I know my area has LTE but doesn't show on the website) so I'm testing the 2mb line first then will go over to 4mb later.

But yeah this is my download so far.

Maybe you could post your router stats on here as well, this will tell us if your line is indeed stable enough to take 4mb

Ok I'm not sure where to find the stats but I'll check this evening when I'm home.

My Afrihost app gives me the following though....

So this was my stats on my 2mb line

I upgraded my line to 4mb this morning and this is my line stats now

I'm not home now to test it so wondering if I should stay on the 4mb line or revert back to the 2mb.

I see it doesn't sync at the full 4mb speed it should. The SNR is also low I see.

I'll test the line in the morning when I'm home though but just wondering as I'm looking at this stats

Could be a line fault, I would give it a day or two. If it does not sync at 4 mb, you should report it. Your stats are perfect for a 4mb, the only cause would be faulty copper.
