I think you are posting in the wrong thread and sub-forum, this sub-forum is for ADSL etc., not LTE, and users posting about LTE issues here confuse the problem and/or solutions.

ROFL, if that happens im moving to the far West Coast and living in isolation, it's very frustrating trying to play a competitive game with 90% packet loss
FIbre will have it's issues no doubt, but surely it wont be as pathetic as this

Yeah, you're on the wrong thread
Perfectly adequate considering it's been around for years and it's in the ADSL and VDSL Discussions section of the forum

My Telkom Uncapped ADDL has been down since 24:00 last night. Not just me, same at work, also ADSL, down. Telkom fiber also seems down. And same with Afrihost Fixed LTE, - Cell-C - also down. So something big has eFF'ed the internet.

Yes, you may be too far from the DSLAM/MSAN to get full 10mbps.
Restarted the router. Now it synchs at 9mbps. That's about the best I guess.

My net went down, anyone else?
I'm just curious before I start fiddling with router settings

Yep, I got it too about an hour ago
This should mean that they have finished porting the remaining functionality (mostly for some business-focused products) to the new portal (or the products were phased out).
However, they didn't announce the end of the Service Management Tool, so they haven't finished the activation parts of the new platform in the past 2 years :-( (and indeed, none of the functionality from SMT is available anywhere else yet).

Did you have load shedding?
(On some modem models, they can end up corrupting the nvram over time, and eventually the next power cycling will result in it resetting itself to factory defaults.)

Anybody else getting really bad speeds in Cape Town southern suburbs? Started around midnight, I'm getting 0.4Mbps on a 20mb line. A friend and cousin having the same problem as well.

Yep. It's also been posted on the WebAfrica thread. Seems to be happening regardless of ISP

Yes, I'm having the same problem. Getting less then 1meg also on my 40meg line, buffering started last night already and this morning. Logged a call with Telkom.

Looks like a bad start to the weekend. Getting 0.20mbps on a 4 mbps line.
