Slow adsl speeds

Most likely problems on Telkom backbone network (congestion not the exchange). Look at your ping, 400ms is horrendous! Mine is getting bad too...
 
I have no connection on my router... at home or at the office. It only works when I dial a PPPoE connection. What is going on?
 
Logged a call with Telkom earlier as MWeb say the problem is not on their side. I have snails in my garden that are faster than my 4mbps line.
 
Thought it was just me. 4mb upgraded to 6mb and things have been crawling ever since
 
My 4meg at home has also been slow lately. Thought it was mweb...
 
My 4meg line is refusing to sync at anything greater than 740kbps ever since this upgrading started to happen this weekend. prioir to this it always synced at 4096, so any know what the hell is going on?
 
Must one ask to be upgraded or does it happen auto magically?
 
Same problem here, got a 4Mbps line, but cannot get more than 1.76 Mbps on speedtest.net. My router (Belkin N+) reports 2048 kbps upload and 512 kbps upload.

Any ideas on what may fix this?

Thanks
 
Wow, probably time to start looking to move out of this country if such things are happening and it seems like NO ONE wants to fix it. How is it possible for a lot of people to have the same problems but TELKOM and MWEB(or any other provider) refuse to take blame. Seriously, how can one do internet-business in this country? I am starting to wonder very deeply.
