Am on ADSL192 in Somerset West and my connection is terrible, getting 40kbps max, haven't hit my cap just yet. My email is also down, anyone else?

Something you could try is to reset the modem. I was experiencing a constant 40KB/s, which seemed to happen after a power failure. It could be an exchange problem, so reset the modem and see if there's a difference. Worked fine here now the speed is back up to a constant 55KB/s.

When I downgraded, they did it proper and my speeds fell to like 20kb/s max. It's a bloody misery, but I intend to stick with it just to spite the Telmonster. With the cost of bandwidth being what it is, why should I pay for a 512 or 1024 package that literally gets me nowhere fast?
