Sharing results as invited

[Suzette Du Toit]

Hi, I just did a speedtest again and was invited to share the results. I actually would like to share mY results as I am paying Telkom for a 4MBps line (Up to 4096/10016kbps Line) Package and although I am guaranteed not to get less than 1MBps speed, this happens quite a lot. So let's see what happens if I share my results?

Your latency is even more worrying than the speed. Have your ISP or telkom test the line and see.

Switch to Mweb

First rule out DSLAM congestion.

(And, I personally wouldn't recommend changing before 1 Feb anway ...)

She probably did the test on an international server, not a local one. Still getting above the 1mbps she mentioned too. I'd recommend getting a trial account at mweb and checking the difference. if there is and they rule out DSLAM congestion, I'd say move. She also didn't say if Telkom was her ISP. "Paying telkom for a 4mbps line" only indicates she's paying them for the line (like we all do), but doesn't mention who the ISP is (people forget it's different/can be different, much like the older generation STILL goes to the post office to pay their telkom accounts because they still under the impression telkom and the post office is the same entity like it was before)
