I'm on 10MB uncapped. Speed has really been crap the last couple of days. Responsiveness and anything I download has been downright dissapointing. I'm in the Pretoria region.

Edit: Seems better now - but pings range between 18 and 200. Random.
 
Completely useless for the last two weeks - doesn't matter what time of day. Local and international websites very slow.

Allegedly on an upgraded exchange but getting less than half the speed I used to:mad:

Big Bean,

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

Anyone know why Torrents aren't working? If I switch over to Afrihost or WebAfrica, everything is great, yet on TI they don't connect to the swarm. Weird because they were working earlier today.

I don't usually use Torrents. I switched over to usenet when TI were having issues with P2P. But I recently got into a pretty decent private tracker. Guess that's going to be useless if they still don't work on TI.

Mine did the same. I restarted my torrent client and everything started working again :)
 
This weekend my internet was terrible. Anything with images took ages to load. So my wife was complaining since there was basically no Facebook or Twitter since they took ages to load. I could play basically nothing on the PS4 since I couldn't connect to PSN. I was getting speedtest results with 3000ms pings and 0.11 meg speed for download. This is all on a 4 meg line. Around 9 last night it got a bit better, ping went down to 15 ms but download speed was still only 0.33 meg.

Same with my 4mb line and it is still not fixed.
Stellenbosch area
 
My experience has been very bad for the past 3 days. I disconnect every 10 minutes. My router then gives the following message:

Telkom ACS server is busy configuring the router now.
Please try again later.
Click to expand...

It'll work for 5 minutes, then the message will come back and it'll disconnect again. What is the ACS server? I'm going insane. Is there something wrong with me router perhaps? My router is a D-Link DSL-2750U. It's never really been that stable, but this is some next level annoyance.

No idea, but this was also posted a while back

Click to expand...

Yeah, I did a search too but that post has no useful information unfortunately. I don't know what the ACS server is for. My internet works fine, until I get that message, then the reboot-disconnect loop starts anew. I can't even access the system logs because it sends me back to the "Warning Telkom ACS server is busy configuring the router now. Please try again later." screen.

I've also noticed that my upstream rate is bouncing around, instead of staying stable at 512 like it usually does. It's moving between 416, 480 and 512 now. Strange...

Here's an imgur album if anyone has advice.
