Official Vox DSL feedback thread

Your internet works and you now sit crowing, we get this behaviour. It's a type of pyschosis I imagine.

I don't know what's wrong with our ADSL or how properly to fix it. What I do know is that Telkom blames Vox and Vox get's shirty and shoves the blame back. Ultimately the customer loses.

What we need is teamwork. It appears as though the hardware is Vox's, so why can't they undertake to fix it together? This slopey shoulder and sniffy it's not our job attitude is not the right one.

Pretty sure I saw cvanwie saying something about the fault already logged with Telkom? They aren't ignoring it.

I'm fine here in Joburg. My issue was resolved by Telkom.

Constantly...why would they switch it on and off? Makes no sense.



Can't blame cvanwie :whistle:
It could be related to work in progress, live testing and so forth. On the 1st it was fine (everything the whole day) then boom, it's broken again. Either that or something else.

Of course you are.

The problem was and remains in the Cape. Doesn't it always.

Unsure what in my post could be considered "crowing". You ask for help and then spit in the face of those who offer it. I am also in CPT, was also affected by the latency issues which were resolved with Telkom, and am currently not seeing any of your symptoms, during any time of day. Good luck resolving your issues with that attitude.
 
This is interesting. When it does ping correctly, like now all of a sudden, I get the full address of the servers on each hop.

It's all clearly Vox-related equipment on those 1st hops. The new full address also suggests a change - maybe DNS or something.
 
JusitinTek, MicR and Pat are all the same person and team. Low post troll. Easy kill.

I don't understand to why you are being so aggressive about the statement?

And on a side note Justintek, Micr, Dankbanker, throwaway420 and Slvr are the same person. I don't know how I resemble that idiot.

You were cute once with the Pat/Pot gimmick, but time to stop now methinks.

Two main IPC routes, one in Barrack street and one in Tygerberg. Once the IPC is reached, traffic is then routed to NAPAfrica in Rondebosch which will do the rest of the peering.

That's exactly what he does and that is why he keeps on moaning about the same shyte. In the end he's not going to get any help it it will be his own stupidity.

It's all clearly Vox-related equipment on those 1st hops. The new full address also suggests a change - maybe DNS or something.

Common IT knowledge would tell me hop 3 is the Telkom side of the IPC and hop 4 is the Vox side of the IPC, which is EXACTLY what cvanwie said a few threads ago and also said it was logged with Telkom to get a permanent fix in place.
