Just noticed internet was very fast so I logged into my router and got this.
I have a 4meg now 10meg line, and Mweb 4meg unshaped account.

ADSL Line Status SHOWTIME.L0
ADSL Mode G992.5 ADSL2+M
Upstream: 2048 kbps
Downstream:10240 kbps
Attenuation Downstream(db) 4
Attenuation Upstream(db) 4
SNR Margin Downstream(db) 29.2
SNR Margin Upstream(db) 18.7
CRC Errors 0
Upstream BER 612e-7
Downstream BER 0e-7
Up Output Power: 3
Down Output Power: -6

Here are two speed tests I have just done
I have a 4meg uncapped account so throttled will try and test with a different account to see if I get 10meg down

Are Telkom trialing ADSL2+ annex M? because my upload is high, or is this a mistake and will be short lived? (hope not)

I read your upload speed is high and then I saw the test. WTF even my CellC phone can do better. And you call that fast?

Which area do you stay in.
 
Lucky wish they would finally upgrade me, even my work down the road on the same exchange gets 6 meg :p yet I am stuck on 4 megs with 10 times better line stats.
 
You are syncing at 10mb, thats often normal for a 4mb account. Theyre 4-10mb account. Or am I missing something else? Or is it that 2mb upload? Cause thats pretty high. Not sure if that is normal.
