Telkom Internet Capped/Uncapped User Feedback (Pt2)

[dt513]

Hows TI now days? Are they having issues in the evenings still? Have not bothered to test mine the past month,

Telkom outperformed Afrihost last night.

It maxes my 4mb line, 425kB/s.

If I set it to 1 connection I get 130kB, so I would assume it will do 130 x 5 = 650kB/s.

Great, thanks for the reply.
I'll give them a try.

No worries

 

[shanezn]

No complaints from my side. Things are pretty good. Gotta reboot my router maybe 2 times a day when speed starts dropping to dial up level, but other than that slight inconvenience, I'm not really unhappy.



Downloading at the moment - 11.30am ... ish ...

 

[giggity]

Maxing my data speeds at the moment. Everything local is flawless. Still some problems with Twitch, but it's probably their CDNs' fault. YouTube going great. Haven't used torrents/P2P in a while.

Loving it

I'm a little over the middle and they say I'm being managed....

I think that's normal, have you actually checked to see that you are throttled? I think you will find that you are not throttled, you are only throttled when that orange bar changes to red.

I'm always in the orange but I still run at full speeds, the one time I went into red I was throttled.

 

[Electric]

Orange means nothing really.

 

[sactjt]

Orange means nothing really.

Here is where my usage tracking tool sits at the moment:

I am being throttled to death. Spoke to a supervisor at telkom, tier 2, one of the administrators there and manager of cancellations department. They all confirmed that I am indeed being throttled.

**** - I hate these ****s. Over a week to get back to me only to tell me I can't cancel my line, and then someone else from another department will call me. ALL FOR A ****ING ISP ACCOUNT I CANCELLED IN FEBRUARY - and they're still charging me for it.

Jesus -these ****ers are beyond useless, I can only hope everything associated with the useless government burns to the ground.

I can understand power users get throttled... Why moderate users get throttled Telkom alone knows.

the bar should be...

Normal Moderate Power


How would u ever be a power user if they throttle moderate users.

 

[borro]

Wow, what else can I say?

That's strange.
i wonder if it's not just the telkom staff that can't solve your problem so they say you're throttled.
I go into the orange every month and never notice any form of throttling or shaping.

I had the exact opposite last night; Afrihost shyte while Telkom was flying.

AH Capped accounts are okay, but the uncapped accounts are severely shaped due to IPC shortage, especially in the South.
Apparently additional capacity will delivered on the 10 April for AH.

Maybe this is true for TI as well?

AH capped account was dog slow last night but Telkom was at least useable.

I've never noticed it... But lately it looks like moderate or average users also get throttled not only power users.

I also had some issues with AH capped account last week.
I'm using my capped account atm.
Parked my uncapped Business account and is using an IS based uncapped account that one of the MyBB members offred me.
That IS based account is apparently a normal Home uncapped account, but it is running pretty good.

It really seems you can't call these various ISP accounts anymore.
There is always something up.

It has been going on for ages. Crap speed during the day even on the first day of the month when everybody starts from zero. Speeds only start to remotely get better late in the evenings. Even NZB traffic via news.saix server is treated the same. Torrents are only usable and allowed during the morning hours.

This is not my experience at all.
