Why Telkom internet services are the worsts in SA. They keep frustrating clients with empty promises of faster internet. You pay for faster internet only to get disappointed! The internet is too slow most of the time. So what do we pay for?

Just tested, no issues by me
How are you detecting the packet loss?
Using teamspeak server and on axxess account it works fine 4ms ping no packet loss but on telkom 17ms with packet loss.
My youtube seems to be limited to 4meg on a 10 meg line during peak times.
Other sites not being limited.
All sites seems slow now.

I left TI many moons ago, due to piss poor performance, packet loss and drop outs constantly, moved to ignite, 100% improvement, which means my lines are fine, and the problem is most likely a shortage of IPC capacity.

Telkom Internet been really slow for me since Saturday intermittently affecting random websites. DStv now constantly buffers even on the lowest settings. Netflix seems to be fine. Generally websites load slowly especially tonight. 20mbps fibre.
Seems like you being hit with the same issue as mine. Had to make a pppoe connection from my pc to a free Axxess 1GB account to make it work as I couldn't game on my line whatsoever due to massive packet loss

Haha i was like that last night for not being able to stream smoothly, cursing the worst possible words at telkom in my head but it was a PS4 in rest mode eating all my bandwidth.

Our line seemed to sort itself out mostly after 21h00 on Wednesday, Latency still close to 100ms and a buffering.

I'm wondering if telkom are having problems on the South Coast (Amanzimtoti)? Plenty of packet loss when playing online for the last week or so.

Anyone else in KZN having issues? Can't even ping anything outside KZN right now. Only traffic within like a 50Km radius is going through
