They are in Paradise Beach though. It shows they are connected to Linton Grange but don't know how everything is connected.
Paul, as you are located in Jbay do you have any inside info on any planned ADSL upgrades in the surrounding areas?
My parents have a 2Mbit line running off the Linton Grange BB 2 exchange. Their line stats are very good but the congestion is terrible lately and getting worse by the day to the point where the line is practically useless in the evenings.
I'm paying for their connection so I'm wondering if I should rather cut my losses and move them back over to 3G.
I'm curious, are those links back to Linton Grange fibre or what?Paradise Beach will work back to Humansdorp, then to Uitenhage and then to Linton Grange before breaking out of Telkom's Southern Region's network to either Cape Town or Johannesburg.
I'll check on the first hop (from Paradise Beach to xxx) but from Humansdorp, yes, all fibre.I'm curious, are those links back to Linton Grange fibre or what?
So the congestion is due to lack of capacity at one of these locations; xxx, Humansdorp, Uitenhage (possibly all)?I'll check on the first hop (from Paradise Beach to xxx) but from Humansdorp, yes, all fibre.
Pretty much sums up my streaming issues...

Paradise Beach is serviced by the Aston Bay exchange.
Then its goes to Jeffreys Bay via a 24 fibre optic cable.
Then to Humansdorp via a 72 fibre optic cable.

Cape Town?
Its showing something interesting
latency still sub 200 but throughput has dropped off
There's a 72F at Fountains Mall...so why can't they give me a 1 fibre to my house?
I mean the rest of the town can share 3
No. It will be localised at the Aston Bay exchange itself.
