Edit: Posted this yesterday.... and now I can't get more than 40 kBytes/sec.... coincidence? or is this thread a way of Telkom monitoring 'installation' glitches? (and 'fixing' them!)

what do you think? Anyone have a similar experience, or am I just being a conspiracy theorist

conspiracy theorist! It's normal to get speeds better than your line speed, Telkom does this deliberately. I believe it's so ICASA doesn't force them to gaurentee speeds... but it looks like they're doing so anyway with these new regulations.
