Speed Question

[mrbob]

I'm on tower 126. The day after the whole proxy thing went down my speeds went up quite nicely, almost averaging at about 60kb/s (WOOHOO I was almost getting half my money's value!) , sometimes even a lil higher , p2p connections were good etc.. as of today (well yesterday technically my speeds went to absolute ****, p2p downloads just drop and drop, my speeds average at 0b/s with the occasional 4Kb/s burst(this is all p2p) - I want to know if anyone else has been experiencing the same thing as I have or the exact opposite ie when my speeds were high there's were low and now they're high. Maybe the bandwidth is being juggled.. you know give this guy a few days of half decent speeds.. then give him nothing for a few days while we give the other guys who've had no speed a bitta speed etc etc...

Cool

LETTER TO SENTECH AFTER SPEED TEST

TOWER 66, MENLOPARK, PRETORIA

Speed Test
Your download speed is: 1.23 KBps, or 9.87 Kbps
The test took 829.922 seconds to complete
To whom it may concern

I’m really getting frustrated with my 256k connection at this stage. It’s getting worse each week and this is not the service as agreed upon in the contract. I gave Sentech the last few times 3 to 4 days to resolve this kind of issues but this is becoming totally ridiculous as well as extremely bad service and standards that Sentech is maintaining. If this is not resolved and the ticket is not closed by myself by tomorrow COB, this letter as well as the previous letters will be email to the MD. If this fails to have a impact I’ll come in person to your premises to resolve this issue with supported documents.

Please also find below an email sent to me from a stranger(Gregory Hinton Nietsky) which obviously found my details on YOUR database which is also a non disclosure bridge according to the contract.

When is all this going to stop and when will your guys start to get their ducks in a row? This is much worse than Telkom could ever dream of and it’s totally unbelievable that I’m still paying for this service while Sentech doesn’t even try to reimburse any of my fees paid.

Then Sentech has the liberty to send me an email regarding download “abuse” or “misuse”. On a “broad band” line like this, your email is totally irrelevant.

Also note that I’ll email this document as well as the rest of them to IT Web if this is not resolved by COB tomorrow. However, I’ll publish this email on the myadsl website regardless.

It seems your broadband is measured at the speeds as per when the 9600 modems just came out. Who in this world is getting 1.23KBps and calls it broadband while the speed test is taking me 13 minutes to complete?

What is your LONG-TERM plan to resolve this issue once again? I don’t want your short-term plan please!!!

My speed test results are as follows:

I think if Sentech is not going to shape-up, they’ll ship out
