Telkom ADSL

[rpm]

Hi there folks

I am certain we all agree that the Telkom ADSL international bandwidth can and should improve. Currently daytime connections can be as slow as a few kbits/s. This is around 6 times slower than a standard dial up modem connection.

Please use this forum to give your views on ADSL speed and what you think should be done to improve this. We will do the rest. We guarantee anonymity…

We will also appreciate regular speed test postings that we can use as data to present our case. If possible, please give the time and date of the test.

Regards,

RPM

Hi RPM

I agree with you.

Speed: 305 kbits/s at 3:36 am. Will drop to 10 kbits/s after 9am tommorow morning.

Good luck

Peter

Tell Telkom this is the kind of speed you want.. and this is only a 256k connection

Sounds like on adsl that decent speed, for the most part, is only attainable after hours??

Telkom should charge less for line rental, then at least we can have fast internet and still afford to eat every month... their price r ridiculous...
