Seems like they removed the FTP test as well ftp://196.43.1.13/test.file

Either:
1) Something is stuffed with their speed tests
2) They knowingly did it on purpose

At least there's still iBurst/Sentech as a backup for local speed tests.

k whats happening is that the speedtest pages are missing and the error404 is redirecting to the page u see now -with touch tommorow on the top

see what i mean?

I think what we are seeing is the results of sloppy "its friday" web dev work.

just shows us how closely telkom watches the fourms?

in that case:

Dear, Telkom. I wish to stick a "wow wow brush" up your "ziggy"
