I'm also on 196.31.33.*
 
My connection was fine yesterday and earlier today. Why couldnt they just bump us up to the 512 usergroup instead of dropping us to below the 128 group
 
196.31.34.* here :D
Some packet loss though

If it takes this long for the technicians to solve the problem then I'm speechless.
 
I can't even ****ing connect :(

"The remote computer is not responding"
 
Anyone with real feedback from Sentech?They told me they can't respond to my queries since I'm a nowire client.How long are we gonna wait until the "engineers" fix this?
 
I've being pulling my hair out for most of the week with the speeds I'm getting, a 56k dialup seems to be faster at the moment than my Sentech connection.

Quite frankly, I'm waiting untill the new SNO becomes operational and seeing what emergers from other isp's in terms of connections. Sentech seems to have completely lost the plot.

Yes I do empithise with them with the fact that they dont have the resources to expand there network, but they're not even trying to retain their current customers base and work on promoting the areas that covered.

However it's what i have begun to expect from a "goverment" organisation.

To quote Douglas Adams, "So long, and thanks for all the fish".

Well since for the first 3 to 7 years they will just be hiring Telkom lines I wouldnt hold my breath

And the major cost is anyway theundersea connection out of the country, and the SNO will never install a competing line there
 
I don't think anyone is actually working on this problem.How complex can it be that it takes this long to sort out?
 
Well they said they were giving the problem their highest attention so I'm positive it will be resolved.... imminently.
