I started to experience very very slow speed around july/August. My line had always synced on a 2meg with no issues up and till now once my line tries to sync on 2meg or higher the speed is just plain rubbish. and what makes me sad is telkom does nothing after tons of faults are sent out. If any one else is on the edenvale exchange with numbers 452/453 and is having the same experience please post below.
 
Hey, well it isn't my line, but my brothers, but my experience on it was terrible, should be a 4mb line but it was slower than dragging a ton of rocks behind you while you walk!

Same i should also be on a 4meg but its so rubbish i get 2meg sync then telkom puts me on 1meg because its unstable :(
 
The 452/453 range is from the Eastleigh exchange if I remember correctly. I have a 452 number and I have yet to experience any speed issues but then again I connect via a DSLAM/UMC.

I'm 453. I used to have a stable line on 3.5mb/s.. Now I have an extremely unstable 1mb line with terrible SNR margins and a worsening line attenuation. I've spent hours and hours trying to get telkom to fix it. Don't waste your time, they aren't interested. They'll simply close all your tickets without doing anything..

i have the exact exact same issues i put my line on 4meg as our exchange cant get 10. But when its on 4meg my SNR goes to around 4 so its unusable. as well as my attenuation is at around 61db :/.

I stay in senderwood so i called up afrihost this morning and they told me they can possibly move me to to another exchange as the one we are on in dunvegan is congested. The bedfordview exchange by the virgin active is much closer to me so i don't know why im not on the bedfordview exchange. i dont even know if its possible to move to another exchange :/
 
Hi All,

Wondering if anyone else in the Edenvale area with a 452 number is having the same problem I'm having - No telephone/ADSL line?

I logged a call on the 3rd of January 2014, and I phone regularly for updates, only to be told it's "a general fault in the Edenvale area". There is no ETA or any update.

Been spending a fortune on 3G so my wife can continue working from home.

I've heard rumours of them rewiring their MSAN, but 2 people I work with don't have any issues, and they live down the road from me.
