Slow DSL in East Rand

[walterg]

Anyone experiencing slow browsing in the Kempton Park area? This has been a problem since yesterday afternoon.

 

[rpm]

Slow here as well: Melville

I'm connecting from the Bapsfontein area and it's been dog slow on both IS and SAIX since yesterday but I think it may be my line.
Good SNR ratio but 40% packet loss on first hop.

Same here in the great city of brakpan, Int and local, saix and IS all slow since yesterday :/

 

[deanesa]

Very slow in Pomona. Keeps on dropping connection as well.

 

[Unstable]

Same here, also in Brakpan. This is happening since yesterday afternoon.

And this is why its slow:

Benoni and boksburg aswell

preparing to launch tactical nukes......target aquired ....Telkom!

Benoni dead as well, average download @ 11KB/s on 384k dsl

 

[howardb]

Randburg also hellish slow the last few days... IS

 

[DeonS]

Slow in Durbanville

We should get 4mbps currently 601.4 Kbps...

 

[Paulr]

Same here, Kempton Park.

Everything is slow (took about 2 mins for this page to open)

At least now I know it's not my line or setup or something.....

 

[Paul_S]

Totally dead now. Can't log in to either IS or SAIX based accounts for the past 3 or so hours. I can still make calls so it must be a problem somewhere on the Telkom backbone (ATM or whatever it's running on).
No one know exactly what it is?

Back to normal again

I had the same problem since yesterday , but when I got home at 6pm, all seems to be back to "normal"

 

[Xarog]

Ya, slow as hell here too. Also getting 30-60% packet loss at 1st hop, struggling to load pages and terrible download rates.

Also started yesterday around noon.

 

[Paulr]

This morning it's still slow - local is a bit better but international is very intermittent.

How are you other guys doing?

 

[LCE]

The ADSL is still slow this morning. I checked my logs and the system started timing out already on 13-10-2006 at +- 13:00. I am based in Kempton Park right next to Benoni. Clients near by are also having problems. Then the same problem is currently in Albertion (Central).

 

[Paulr]

Out of desperation I rebooted my router and noticed that the downstream line attenuation has increased to 55db....

Slow times ahead.

 

[qmm]

Germiston seems to be OK. At least when I left home at 6:30.

 

[walterg]

It seemed to be fixed last night at around 10 pm, but was slow again when I left for work this morning. My girlfriend was told something about a problem at the exchange when she phoned Telkom yesterday.

Benoni - ADSL down since 18th

ADSL in Benoni down due to 'Network failure' since 18th.
Down throughout 19th
Back an working since approx 10am on the 20th.

I have had trouble on both my work ADSL and home ADSL (Benoni both but different exchanges) over the last 4 to 6 weeks.

What the hell is up with Telkom? Come clean and explain yourselves! !
