Question of the Day: Do you think Bafana Bafana will win tonight?
Telkom Internet Capped/Uncapped User Feedback (Pt2)
- Thread starter bwana
- Start date
Please, you trying to bait me into calling the helpdesk and hanging on for 45min to ask for some mythical Telkom helpdesk agent nxa.
Challenge accepted, name please sir.
BTW, did you ever try the nzb challenge?
Tooth fairy?

I'm downloading overnight as recommended, so that isn't so much an issue unless the speeds are pathetic.The account will get throttled if the maximum is too high in the daytime, NZB or not.
We must be on our guard for further measures by Telkom to impose more restrictions. In the past, the torrent stoppage was done prior to any announcement, so there is a pattern of doing this and then confirming later.
Regardless, the challenge was 3 fold. 1> Setup a trial sunny account and test nzb's during the day
2> Try to work around your ISP and not the other way around.
3> Show us some proof your a Ti customer.
You dodge well but not enough I'm afraid.

We had a ticket open with the vendor who supplied the IPC router, for it not load-balancing correctly, since yesterday, escalated as high as it can be for an issue that isn't a complete outage since this morning, with no resolution as yet.
Since there has been no resolution to load balancing problem, and we won't be able to get a workaround in place tonight, we will be preventing the congestion at the router by implementing changes on the traffic management side immediately. This will likely result in slightly worse internet until 20h00 or so, and we won't be able to use anywhere near our full IPC capacity in the Cape Town site, so the experience will still be worse than last week, but hopefully not as bad as last night.

So is everyone getting more or less full line speeds during midnight surfer times?
Even with the KZN IPC issues I was getting line speed on nzb's and torrents seemed to hover between 380-410kB/s.
