Morning all,
there have been some major Telkom upgrades the last few days....which clearly was not implemented correctly...causing faults on their core network and access infrastructure. Thus the authentication issues are only part of the greater problem.
Numerous customers of different ISPs are also affected by this "upgrade" of Telscum..

Would the Telkom upgrades/changes/whatever affect latencies and streaming on CW too? If so, then thanks - understood. If not, however, then what the hell is going on. I was again unable to stream YouTube in anything more than 480p last night. After midnight. On a 10mbps line.
Usage is below the 200gb threshold, and paying premium for something that behaves like this isn't on.
(Again, that is if it's not Telkom's fault - in which case, ignore the rant)

pls ;_;
5kb/s on a virus definition update. This is seriously upsetting. I don't even feel like paying for December. I should have canceled this crap but was hoping there would be improvement and gave them a chance. Am regretting that now.

seems CW is gonna have to spend alot of time fighting unhappy customers for their money from the looks of it!
I also have capped account for 10m line. Where do you cancel as I don't see the option in the portal?

In the same boat. Not going to pay this invoice if the general speeds don't improve by 1 December...

Well maybe I'm one of the lucky ones with the telkom upgrades, but my account is looking way better than it was this time last week
I was told the same, but they don't know when the end of the week is going to be Friday or Sunday. My week ends Friday so hopefully it is Friday and not month end on Sunday
.I will gladly pay my subs if I can get time to get into internet banking. If all else fails I'll have to visit the bank on Saturday morning.
Sadly in this country "end of the week" means early next week (if you're lucky).I was told the same, but they don't know when the end of the week is going to be Friday or Sunday. My week ends Friday so hopefully it is Friday and not month end on Sunday

That's the state of SA telecoms though. Take your pick of any one of the ADSL threads and it's pretty much horror story, after horror story, after horror story!
Everyone is basically reselling the same old s hit, just packaging it slightly differently. At the end of the day, a turd in a brown paper bag and a turd in a gold plated jewellery box... is still a stinky old turd...
