Telkom Internet Capped/Uncapped User Feedback (Pt2)

Can you try with winmtr or pingplotter or mtr?

The high variability indicates something in the path is near congestion, and traceroute can give an incorrect view of the problem, where the other tools that ping all the hops simultaneously gives a better picture of where the problem is.

Tried WinMTR a few minutes ago. Here's my results:

I'm also in Cape Town and have huge lag. Another problem I still have is my download speeds and Speedtest speeds hover at around the 2 meg mark but I have a 4 meg line that syncs at 4 meg. Chatted to Telkom and according to them there is no fault on my line.
 
Probably connected to a 2mb line from the box to the exchange ... , possible ...

Don't see how that's possible because how would I then sync at 4 meg. It's only been like this in the last few months and I've had the line for a few years with full 4 meg speeds.
 
There is fiber at the street corner box, good cable from me to the box, but the box only has 2mb port cards in it ... , so I can only get 2mb and not 40mb or better ...

So the port cards are the bottleneck or choke point ...
 
Hi Ranger, i am wondering if you can help.

I normally game with a ping of between 40 and 60. All of a sudden I am having terrible issues with ping and it seems to be to all CPT servers. The JHB ones are OK but I get between 260 and 280 now to all CPT servers. I am in northern KZN.

Thanks man
 
cant browse a single video on youtube tonight with Telkom. So tired of this... I been having issues with Telkom for weeks and after phoning support they say nothing is wrong with my line

Might be related to post #6102-6106 above.
 
Going on 72 hours without Internet now in Lonehill jhb. Telkom logged a fault but no follow up.... Annoyed beyond belief with the lack of service. No line or data
 
Typical Telkom, when things work, alls well most of the time, when they don't - well no one tells you anything, and service does not exist. Wish someone could explain to them the value of "feedback"
