Well it's pretty much the same massive issue that AH went through last November, so I'm carefully optimistic that things will return to normal once they've addressed the capacity shortage.

The only reason telkom wholesale upgrade the lines for free is, because the knew the ISP will have capacity issue and they will need to buy more capacity from telkom wholesale #moremoneyfortelkom

I don't think it's affecting new installations. Have it for 2 weeks now with no problems at all.

I have a question.
When I had 2MB uncapped my line would pretty much go at full speed.
Since the free upgrade to 4MB my speed is way more unstable. Line stats are good.
I am wondering if I downgrade to the now cheaper 2MB package will I get 2MB speeds as I use to or will get dial up speeds. At the moment I am getting 2MB speeds anyway.

Yeah, this wasn't gradual. Who says it's capacity anyhow? Has telkom declared that?
If you consider that the 6th was the first real work day after the holidays for many then yes it is a capacity issue.
My issues actually started the Sunday when HD streaming was a no-no. SD worked fine though but it's been steadily downhill from there with the only respite coming sometime after 12AM on a daily basis and weekends until Sunday evening.
@TelkomZA responded (24 hours later - not bad!) saying they recreated the ports. I noticed a significant difference last night (speedtest up to 3.2 from 1.5 - 4mb uncapped) in browsing as well as smoother latency (dota 2 no spiking, cs:go still at 100 ms with random spikes).
Still unable to load twitch or youtube though. Downloads (p2p) still only running from 00:00 to 06:00.
It's a start but streaming is my main priority and it's still clearly an absolute mess.

Is this the reason that I am throttled to unusable? It was good until yesterday morning?

Is it Red or orange?
I've received that msg on orange before but it did not effect my line throughput at all.

You should be flogged in public!
Know how you feel, guess you also got tired of the way the thread had been hijacked
