Telkom Internet Capped/Uncapped User Feedback (Pt2)

Could it be that there is a rolling average, and not an individual month determining the acceptable usage cap?

I think you may be right with this. Last month I did 30 gig and had no bar on the TI tracker (2mbps) - it only moved to 10% green in the middle of the month after I did 35-40 gig. Yesterday I did 3 gig and the bar is already at 10% green.

(This is all data usage outside NightSurfer btw.)

Looked into building one myself too but found it at Micro Robotics for 99 Rand bra :D
It's freaking awesome!
Have you tried Swivel gun VR logride?

Same place i bought from :D , haven't tried that yet :p. Will check it out so thanks for letting me know :).

Am off to some training, will check on the thread later in the afternoon.

@ponder - good method of testing, am gonna try that for future tests. Luckily MickeyD asked ;-)
 
Is anyone else in Johannesburg having issues? Can't even browse. Had to switch to my Afrihost account just now.

Edit: All seems well again.

There is a transmission failure on one of our peering links, caused by a veld fire which damaged 276 fibres. This resulted in traffic from the peers to be sent over half of the IPC links, resulting in congestion on these IPC links. We have temporarily limited the peering capacity to mitigate the IPC congestion, while we look at distributing the traffic from the peers more evenly over the IPC links. Once that is implemented, we will undo the limiting of the peering traffic (the limiting will currently result in slow access to some Google services).

We have been informed by wholesale that the transmission team is on-site pulling in 288 new fibres over a 100m distance for a temporary repair on this transmission path.

Eish, my sympathies to the guy doing the splicing, that's 576 new splices!

It seems the splicing was finished and the link came up at 21h18, however there would be about 20 minutes of impact to all traffic if we were to remove the limiting now, and it will probably only be removed closer to 11pm.

As always, your communication is super helpful :). Please remove the limiting NOW! :p "arghhh"

I just had an evening nap so missed all the action [also feel sorry for them].

Now, where are these dolphins you guys talking about up top....:whistle:

Question is do they have 100m of slack to pull in for 288 splices or do they have to join in a new cable section and do 576 splices, Hope they could pull in slack... :D
Click to expand...
doubt if there would be 100m of slack avalable... initial post from ranger said they were splicing in a temporary solution. Probably a 144f meaning 288 splices (144 at each end) :p
 
All this fibre talk is making me hungry.......hungry for data :D.

I need to do some reading about this :)
