Only almost 10 times slower than it should be.
Fantastic. :erm:

Ive got the exact same problem, on TI... ~40k down speeds, cos I'm a "power user".
So you look at sites like afirhost, and the like, who post their "power user" d/l stats and they are hitting 1TB/month... I get maybe to 100GB and blam, effed-in-the-a!
Correction: make that 80GB according to my router's stats...

Which line speed?
4mb "uncapped"

About 400GB, but if you schedule downloads between 00:00 - 06:00 you can do a lot more than that figure.

Well that's disconcerting, considering I haven't even broken 100GB yet (router says only ~80GB done this month) and that telkom "usage tracking tool" is in the red. Im gettting already, no more than 40kbps down... :wtf:

Maybe things changed after the update, but my figures looked on par with my usual usage before I left. Did you upgrade to 4Mbps?
Maybe they have your old profile, if you did upgrade.
Also downloads done outside of the hours I mentioned seem to take a heavy toll on your allowed amount.
My 2MBs "uncapped" account was capped to 40kbs after about 80GB

Connection has been up and down, mostly down the whole day. Just signed up with Telkom (long story, not my decision) and already trying to figure out how I can cancel this thing. There isn't a Telkom Rep on MyBB?

Telkomza or @Telkomza on twitter and same name on FB.
The twitter team seem to respond faster.

Think I have found the problem with my adsl issues. SNR Margin (Downstream) = 6.85 dB.
Is there anything I can do about this? I have already reported faults twice to telkom. SNR was significantly better before the telkom speed upgrades.

Over time, most ISP's have "sucky" moments. ISP "a" sucks, so move to ISP "b". They begin to suck, move again to ISP "c". Rinse and keep repeating.
TI has been great for me so I'm hangin' around for now.
My migration path since 2000: Mweb > Vodacom > Mweb > Axxess > Mweb > Telkom. Happy and staying with Telkom.

I'm happy except for these massive shifts in line quality at certain times of night.
Everything ran fine yesterday till about 8pm and then 4MB became about 1MB.
From streaming on 3 devices without issue to not being able to stream on a single device without constant buffering.
Incredibly frustrating.
I've actually bought a spare afrihost 10gb for times like this.
