Saw this as well, does it include the adsl line rental?
Includes line rental + phone line. My folks do use the landline so it's an excellent deal. Just hoping the performance does not suck.
Thanks for the info.

I feel the same. My ddwrt router Wan bandwidth monitor graph looks like a zebra crossing - 9kbps - 3mbps - 13kbps - 2.4mbps - 3kbps...
YouTube keeps switching back to 144p
10mbps uncapped, Glendower msan.

Don't know about you guys but it's still absolutely terrible for me as well... Where is ranger?
@Ryan Inne, which app is that for the traceroute?

I'm not sure Game's R350 B-Fit Move Fitness Tracker qualifies as a fancy smart watch... but I'll take it.I forget people own fancy smart watches< face of jealousy

I was streaming the new DEOD service at 2Mbps without problems until just now when their app stopped working

Yep still shocking, getting a quarter of the speed I should be. 
Anyone else having DNS issues? 2 days ago everything suddenly would not resolve.
On Telkom 4Meg Uncapped. Durban New Germany area. Account is in good standing and low usage when I called to check
Logged 2 faults.
I changed to google DNS settings and now I can browse some sites but not others.
Cant access Telkom usage tracker,
Facebook doesn't even get to load a single profile picture.
Netflix is not working
Speedtest shows everything is ok but those results don't indicate issues experienced at other sites.
Pulling my hair out here as Netflix is all we have to watch, and that doesn't work now, Tension in house is mounting

I'm also in Durban Netflix is working
I don't have Facebook so i can't verify if it's working or not
What else sites aren't working for you?
I'm on the Google dns, restart one more time and see?
I just tried updating firmware on router and it was not accepting the official file, said it was illegal file.
I then reset router to factory settings and proceeded to reconfigure router passwords and settings from there all over again.
And everything is now ok. Router now has DNS settings that work, the factory default ones. Lets see how long it lasts

Why do you have 1000ms latency on your LAN?Yep Telkom seems to be broken tonight. This on a 20mb uncapped line
(I didn't notice any issues last night from Cape Town, but I didn't really test much ...)

Not sure on the latency
rebooted router again this afternoon, that seams to have sorted the latency and speed issue.Still seems to be an issue on the second hop though?
Thanks for checking
