Telkom Internet Uncapped User Feedback.

I'm still 100% fixed here in Durban. My 2MB line is maxing whilst downloading an E3 trailer from youtube unlike the ~30kb/s I was getting earlier today (before ranger said it was fixed at 2:30) and the ~13kb/s I was getting yesterday.
 
I dont think the fix that was talked about earlier was implemented, as I have seen no difference in tonight as oppose to last night. :(
 
And now it's back to normal again. Between 190-215ish kbps on my 2mb uncapped. Telkom can't keep playing with my emotions like this.

:( Please fix this Telkom. Phoning tech support is useless they just reset your port and you wait so long while they do it and then go through all the steps of rebooting your router etc and all the while you know it's not gonna make any difference.

Yip. That's why I tried hellopeter. Phoning the ISP gets you nothing, phoning tech support gets a port reset and nothing.

Paid for a 7 day trial streaming media account which I got two days out of, and lost two going into three.
 
Whatever TI did leave it like it is, international latency is halved and speed is great.

somethings broken - I've had a 30GBownload paused for months, its a dataset I need for training, so haven't been to eager to waste bandwidth on it. I resumed it to monitor my connection. Its been consistently between 50-100KB/s.

This morning I wake up and its done... as well as my usual daily stuff.

Double check by adding some random crap to the queue...downloading at 1MByte/second. I'll put money on it that pretty soon (near office hours) it'll be back to 50KB/s...

I don't want 10Mb/s afterhours - I want 4MB office hours.
 
Nope - mine died again...back to between 100 and 200 KB/s - browsing is crap... streaming impossible.
 
Mine is useless lately. Downloading a file from DropBox at 17KB :(
 
Its not really what it should be 169Kbps on torrents during the day on 10Mbps DO Uncapped bundle
