According to the Telkom notifications, last night a lot of exchanges around Randburg area were under maintenance. The current trend has been to upgrade the exchanges to support ADSL2+ etc and i know a few people on the same Randburg 7 exchange who were bumped up to 10mbit.

I went to sleep thinking that when i woke up i would hopefully also be on higher speeds, alas i woke up to the sight of my usual g.dmt modulation and still synching at 4mbit.

Anyone around the area synching at higher speeds since last night?
Does maintenance carry over to the next few days?

I saw a notification about two weeks ago for the DSLAM in my area as well and I also thought I would be upgraded to 10Mbps. I'm still waiting.
 
They are still busy doing maintenance on my DSLAM according to call centre (just called). This is 011 326 nnnn. I'm in Beverley Gardens. The speeds during the day and evening grind to a frikkin halt. Basically unusable. The early mornings fly so Im sure exchange is saturated. Still waiting to sync higher than 4Mb...
 
Wow, now if only they would make more ports available at the same time? Seems the rich are getting richer, while the rest of us sit with no DSL :l
