Telkom Internet Uncapped User Feedback.

[Adenoid Hynkel]

Its not.

My latency went haywire from about lunch time. Something cooking in CT again, or all users that have been soft-capped are raping the lines again

Same sort of thing here. Unusually high latency on the second hop:

Also, my download speed sucks.

I've been having issues for the last three days. My Youtube videos keep crashing Chrome's built-in flash player, downloads are awfully slow today, several local sites including MyBB either fail to load or won't work.

Testing with Afrihost was even weirder today, they seem to have some IPv6 action going on.

I see in the plugg thread they noted network issues in Cape Town, maybe it's related.

This is SAIX though. And it affects all of the local sites I visit. Even watching my cursor while waiting to write this post took 20 seconds. Something is very wrong here.

I can't even see my own Speedtest result I've posted here. It loads up to about 90% and then it stops and becomes that annoying little "missing page" icon. A week ago this was a solid 211KB/s download, 50.4KB/s upload with a ping to Joburg of 65 average and a 45 average to Cape Town.

 

[cavedog]

very high EU ping..... Wow what is happening to tha internets..... Webafrica down IS based. Telkom High ping.

Where do I check if my account is softcapped / throttled? Been on the phone for 65mins and they say I`m supposed to get a warning message when surfing. Saix shows usage at 165GB. I`m on 4mbit.

Doubt that you will be capped, but this is the link.

Something is up though. Speeds and latency are terrible.

Okay I also receive the message

 

[Adenoid Hynkel]

My line seems back to normal again. No more high latency and speeds Are good again.

Same here... much lower latency and better speed as well

Perhaps Ranger doing his thing behind the scenes?, go Ranger! lol

 

[MKFrost]

Tested some downloads this morning and seems to be back to normal. Not 100% certain as I am only hitting around 70KBps on my 1Mb line. While capped it hardly ever went over 30/40KBps no matter what I did and or downloaded.

So seems like soft-cap has been removed for the new month.

It has been like this since last night after 11pm

 

[FlatspinZA]

Well, for the second time in a row I have had my ADSL service discontinued on the last day of the month because, eish, you have no line, so how can you have ADSL? Never mind the R15K we spent on a wireless link to the exchange and that our account is paid every month.

Does Telkom even have a rep on this forum?

 

[Hectic]

No.
Ranger gives us feedback if he can and try to give some insight, but he is not an official rep as I understand it.
I wish they would make him though.

 

[MickZA]

Does Telkom even have a rep on this forum?

No, but I see they are now a Company that responds on HelloPeter, maybe try there?

BTW If I remember correctly didn't the techs at the exchange organise the initial "line" portion of your wireless set-up? Possibly they can assist.

Copy paste response, nothing done.

We have the direct number for the manager at our local Telkom branch - he normally sorts it for us, but it would be nice if they could put a note on the system somehow to stop these trigger-happy people that sit behind desks just disconnecting us because we don't have a line. I am sure these Telkom techies & managers have better things to do than convince some clerk that we have an actual service every month.
