Telkom Internet Uncapped User Feedback.

Make them pay :twisted:

AFAIK you have to change your modem for VDSL as the normal ones only support ADSL2+

I have a VDSL router already. Asus N900.

And now my line is not authenticating anymore. Tried my Afrihost account too. Telkom is f@cked.

And then we were back. Flatlining at 4.1mbps, pages loading fast and YouTube Streaming 360p without buffering.

How's everyone's TI connections this evening? My daytime test showed slow international again, but peak evening hours showed 8.5mbps on my 10mbps uncapped account? Haven't tested Netflix streaming though.

EDIT: Tested Netflix just now - spiking badly.

Wish ranger could give us an update on what the ETA is for a final fix - or whether one is actually forthcoming :/

Telkom flying my side.

Downloading a 13.5GB file off Steam which I started at midnight. Already 65% complete. 190kbps+ solidly on my 2mbps line.

I'm getting so gatvol with Telkom. Had problems last week with line speed and this got fixed yesterday morning. Last night the same **** started again. Line speed test shows I am running at .8mbps on a 4meg line.

Wrong thread.

Wrong thread.

Why?

 

[MickeyD]

Why?

He's referring to "line" speed... that is ADSL not ISP related.

 

[JurgensSt]

Why?

What to know as well

I think everyone is impacted at the moment with no clear answer from Telkom if line or data

Not everyone, 10MB Uncapped on 8Mbps line:



... the flat peaks are self imposed limits.

I am looking for an ISP. My Adsl line is going to be installed soon. It seems like Telkom is the easiest way to go.

Please can I have some advise.

I am installing a 2Mb line

Stay away from them until the capacity issues have been resolved.

I don't think youre going to get any favourable reviews of TelkomInternet right now, with the current chaos. But to be fair, before this started they were fantastic. If they pull their s*#@ together and sort things out, they probably will be again.

Who else would you guys suggest?

I see there are quite a few options?

I suggest starting a thread about it, this is a feedback thread for Telkom ISP.
