Telkom Internet Uncapped User Feedback.

Im tired of Telkom Internet service. I joined in May 2013 because and I thought they were offering good service and they did for the first month and then after that it stopped. So I decided to cancel my TI 10Mbps bundle and go with some other ISP

Does anyone know of an ISP that will give you good value for money?

They are all pretty bad. I have gone from mweb to plugg to TI and I use vox datapro at work. None of them gave/give 100% solid service.

^This.

Actually I feel TI Uncapped is excellent value for the money. You could always try OpenWebs confusing range of niche accounts for your specific needs though.

I got to agree with you MickZA. Value for money TI is the best ISP I have used.
The only downside is the account throttling, of which I am yet to experience.
I was on 2MB and averaged around 200GB a month without a hint of any throttling.
Unless you a bandwith whore then I think TI will suit you just fine. (No offense to all bandwith rapists out there :D)

Browsing became very slow last night around 11pm. Haven't checked this morning yet.

There was planned work on the IPNet/SAIX/Wholesale side on one of our IPC links last night starting at 23h00.

We had hoped to have the new links in our Gauteng site before this planned work. Unfortunately, there were delays getting the new links in; new routers were being commissioned on the IPNet side, but commissioning wasn't completed before the weekend, so they weren't willing to bring the new links up over the weekend. The commissioning was signed off on Monday, and the IPNet side was configured on Monday.

We planned the change on our side for 23h00, but due to some resource constraints, we were not in a position to implement at 23h00.

I changed some configuration on the traffic management side around 23h30 to prevent congestion, and the new link was brought up a while later (while the other one was still down), and we I reverted the configuration change.

When our portion was completed, the IPNet planned work was still being done, so load-balancing over the new link could not be tested.

There is still some work to be completed in this regard before we can actually allocate any more bandwidth, but we hope it will be completed before the evening peak.

@Yuu, I agree, my problem is they are giving P2P Bandwidth during business hours and then cutting it at night which is the strange thing. I throttle P2P myself during the day, I get upset because when I expect it to fly, its cut.

Peak hours is not business hours. Out traffic demand at 21h00 is higher than at 12h00.

We don't limit P2P, we prioritise all other traffic, and reserve some bandwidth for P2P. If there is no P2P (at e.g.20h00), it is because there is huge demand for web browsing, youtube etc. etc.

Besides the basic bandwidth impact (which can be mitigated to some extent), P2P has significant impact (the ratio of international vs local is much higher than all other high-volume protocols, and the packet efficiency is much lower) on the network.

If you want to P2P at line speed at any time of the day, choose a more expensive product. We aim to ensure that you can do some P2P, but why should we buffer your neighbour's youtube stream for your P2P (which can surely wait a little bit longer)?

@Yuu - Accepted. Just a big change in the way it worked before May 2013. Thanks for the info, thought business hours were peak.
 
Right, my internet is completely dead at home at the moment :(

I can't even connect

Thanks for the feedback Ranger!

I noticed a huge difference in my HTTP downloads yesterday, i would at some stages get bursts of 900Kbps transfer rate on my HTTP downloads, using IDM.... Would that be partially the effect from your change?

I'm getting 100Kb/a from Microsoft :(

Oh well - hopefully the rest of my account is still ok - will see later.
