Telkom Internet Capped/Uncapped User Feedback (Pt2)

Do you usually get an SMS?

Received my emailed invoice yesterday and it looks OK.
Yeh normally get an sms as well. It's always the same as the invoice amount. This time its completely different. R430 vs R765. Maybe I'm getting Naked Adsl
 
So, end of the month and I hit Level 1… does it reset tomorrow, the first of the month, or is it a rolling thing?

Playing CS:GO and my latency (ping) is between 300-1000ms. There is no background network activity so something is horribly wrong somewhere...

Been for a while now. My stats show that from about 12PM I barely went above 1mbps. Latency to 8.8.8.8 is stable. Barely goes over 20ms. Little packet loss every now and then.
 
Something wrong on the telkom network, some guys I know all of the same issues, slow and cant load webpages.

Funny thing that happened to a friend, 900 ping in teamspeak but 220 in a international game.
 
Guys it's been more bad days than good for 2 weeks already. I don't know what but it's different to what we are used to.
 
Just ran some download tests using a well seeded torrent. TI averaged 30% of max, CW 50% and WA 100% which is odd given that CW & WA are both using IS iirc.

I'm assuming it's related to the SEACOM break, when did they reckon that would fixed?

Edit: should add that normally all three will max out a well seeded torrent.

I'm getting full speed here in Durban, so it's a province issue?

I suspect it was a shaping problem. We had the same problem, but I activated the priority pass and no problems. Netflix was streaming at HD instead of getting stuck.
