Telkom Internet Capped/Uncapped User Feedback (Pt2)

Thanks for info!
I don't download much using Night Surfer. I generally get throttled at 85-90 GB per month. So, will hope for upgrade to 4 mbps or will have to use another ISP which gives at least 150-175 GB.

Hope for? I don't see TI doing free speed bumps again anytime soon (within say the next 5 years) so you'll be in trouble if you hold your breath.
 
I've heard different things, so just to clear it up, if i cancel today when will the account stop working?

Remember my friend
Hope is a good thing! May be best of things!

Jokes apart, thanks for advice. I am going to shop around then for Data
 
Hi ranger.

Please can you help. The problem that existed about two weeks ago between DBN and CPT seems to be back sadly.

12 447 ms 488 ms 441 ms intoxicated.co.za [197.85.190.43]

Again it seems to be ct1-pr-01-te0-0-0.net.telkomsa.net at fault.

Another problem i have experienced is that in the two weeks where the problem was gone, i got a consistant 10 -15% packet loss to all the CPT gaming servers. My ping was fine but the packet loss was terrible. This packet loss was also related to my ISP as it dissipeared on different accounts.

Thanks very much for your help.

Also having issues. International is down for me.

Only website that is working is bing and MSN.

It is like a blast back to the past when there was separate internets for local and international.
 
We were able to increase capacity for the Southern users. Hope your experience is more to your liking tonight

Thanks but it does not help for the latency issues experienced on TI. ct1-pr-01-te0-0-0.net.telkomsa.net (105.187.249.138) is still a major issue and nothing is being done about it unfortunately.

The response times increase on hop 3, before it enters Telkom Internet.

Big Bean,

Give me a source and destination address. Will have a look if something can be done about it.

Thanks PM sent.

This issue has been around for a while now with people all over the show being affected by it.

That is what YOU need to address with OpenServe, not us.
