Then it's not my nonsense. It comes from Telkom today. They looked on the account profile and said 4Meg. I said "no 2" and he said the line was showing I could use 4Meg if I paid for it to Telkom or any ISP.

Your line being capable of 4 isnt the same as you being subscribed to 4. My line is capable of 20 but i pay for 4 and my line syncs on 4
Get a free 1gb account and run a speed test or look at your modem profile.

Hahahaha. You're not talking to Charl then ...
I introduced Telkom to the forumites after telephonic discussions with Charl O. and his manager (A.M.).
That's what I said.
We know Telkom are preparing to make 4Meg the minimum, so it makes sense to do that now. I imagine some exchanges won't have done it yet. I'm also on an iMax card, which I'm told is the newer equipment.
Hahahahahahaha FAIL! After reading this I realised why you so confused, you failure to comprehend English is why your so misinformed.
But prove us all wrong and show us your router stats, I bet it says your syncing at 2048kbps

So, your ISP (including Telkom) needs you to pay more to take your line to 4Mbps? So then it's not a free upgrade like last years' 4 to 10, 2 to 4 and 1 to 2 upgrades?
If you connect as guest@telkomadsl, do you get 3.4 to 3.8Mbps using the speedtest link at http://www.saix.net, or do you get 1.6 to 1.9Mbps? Because that doesn't depend on what your ISP sells you, only your current line speed.

Really AntiGanga, now you wanna make out like that's what you meant all along. You said Telkom "upgraded" [note past tense] the minimum to 4MB. You said your "provisioned" for 4MB not 4MB capable. You think we're all dom vokof!

Its all a conspiracy see, everyone at Telkom Ltd. is out to get him/her.
On a serious note everything is back to mostly normal, with the odd YouTube video buffering now and then. What would make the experience better is if they finished the msan upgrades in the area ASAP.

@ranger, are you TI guys ready for the FTTH rollout? What concerns me is whether TW have provisioned sufficient bandwidth in the regions to handle the additional traffic?
Again if it's nonsense then take it up with Charl's team when next you speak. The guy clearly said we're on 4meg, but only use and pay for 2.
As I said before, if your team doesn't tell them anything they don't know what's going on. For example; they didn't know about the press releases that were so controversial. Surely a press release from head office is standard reading material for all support staff?
The guy was not that specific, which is why I can't be. I was half expecting one of the technicians on this thread (or even Ranger) to say "I know what that means ... he meant xxx". I guess the immature responses are to be expected.
Yip.
On a better note, I managed to download a file today. It took about 6 hours, but it completed. I guess the shaper buttons are being tweaked a little. The throughput was very strange - again similar to the 'M' graph with very low speeds and some a bit higher.

It would seem that the "technicians" are ignoring you.
You lied and got called out on it, then you tried switching up what you meant to cover you lies.
Whats so immature about that?
It's uncanny how you seem to be the only one being fed this garbage from Telkom support desk, unless the only viable explanation is you made it up.
