Telkom Internet Uncapped User Feedback.

Not open for further replies.
When me do Account is flapping around, my other ISP accounts max out my line. So it's not exchange on my side either. That said, it was stable last night but I have another week or so to decide which accounts to cancel.
 
Yes I can confirm also that other accounts were working fine when TI was FUBAR last night. Definitely not the exchange, the line or my pc. The only variable is an isp username / password. TI last night, 4 pm till 11pm: like dial-up. Mweb acc: Schweet speeds and downloads. Tried an Axxess voucher acc, also working fine. Please Telkom reps, give us some idea of what is going on. I see elsewhere on the forums that even RPM is moaning about evening slowdowns on his TI home capped account.

+1 million.

Backup mweb account perfect when TI acts up between 4pm and 11pm.
 
FNB account works perfectly during the affected times, so it can't be congestion. Forgot my Afrihost details, or I would have tested with that too, but from what I'm reading here, people have no probs with that vs TI.
 
My line running much better it seems.
Browsing is snappy.
Http downloads seems to be okay, but have lots of drivers to download, so will be able to see how it goes..
Speedtests is okayish. About 300kbps less than I'm used to.
 
The service alone from Telkom is enough to make sure once my data portion with them is cancelled I will never every use them as an ISP again.

Some of us have great stories.
Good service from Telkom, great line quality and speeds.
The occasional issue is not enough to warrant me jumping ship.
This is not mweb ffs.

I actually recommend Telkom to people.

I would tend to agree there. This 'evening fubar' issue is damn annoying, but I'm sure it will get sorted. Just wish we were getting some sort of official / unofficial feedback... Ranger? TelkomZA?

Same. It's been more good than bad, to be honest. It's just the frustrations of those 4 hours every night that's a bit annoying, but, at least my connection doesn't die. Only issues I'm having is http downloads sucking during those times. I'm sure it will get sorted, but I do wish that the guys would stop using congestion as an excuse, because it's clearly not.

Unluckily for me it isn't an occasional issue, it is nothing but issues, this has been my personal experience, from getting the line installed to getting the data bundle working. Latency was all over the place last night in BF3.

No thanks, not for me. Since they wont cancel an account less then 12 hours old I have had to downgrade to a 1MB and now cancel.
 
At least you guys experiencing the slow down between 6 and 10 can use ur free afrihost account and have a working internet connection. For me it dont matter what ISP I use its still shyte.

I cant blame Ti as its a Telkom problem. It just seems that my exchange is getting worse and worse. Add to that the 6 till 10 problem! :mad:
My exchange is still on g.dmt FFS

Ti has been excellent as an ISP. My line pretty much maxes out all day on torrents or http till "congestion time"

How can you downgrade your account after only 12 hours?
That is jumping the gun a bit.

Agreed. It's only been of late - been really stable before that. Also not considering a move just yet.

I think we were experimented on the last couple of days/evenings.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least as I reckon they’re still fine tuning QoS, I wonder if the updated TI Tracker due tomorrow will shed light on the tinkering?

Crawling again for me since 3PM.

Have had communication from TelkomZA and we have eliminated line (healthy) and exchange (perfect, no congestion).

Looks like it is the account itself and he is investigating.

But is is only 14:15 now.
No wonder you having issues. Your buffering is farked!
:D

I've had a good experience most part of the day.
I've had full speed Http downloads (420kB/s) and the lowest was 87 kB/s. Could have been the server though.
Radio have been streaming for big part of the morning and it died for about 45 minutes on me and then came back.

Latency: 76 ms

And it is farked again.
Can't even do a speedtest.
Web pages won't open or are very slow.
