Sign up with GoogleMy line speeds are incredibly slow and regularly gets disconnected (at least every half an hour). My download speeds sometimes drop below 1mbps. Telkom has indicated that, because I'm far from an exchange I can expect problems unless I drop my line speed. I've gone as low as 7mb but still experience problems.

The line is obviously slower during general peak usage hours, but even at night I rarely get > 3Mbps these days. During the day I often can't even listen to a song on Soundcloud without it pausing to buffer.
