Telkom Internet Uncapped User Feedback.

You best use that nzbsa account, its hard to get an invite to join them these days.

Do they have their own nntp servers or is it just an indexer type site?

Also have erratic performance from 6pm to 12. Up down up down...
I schedule torrents and http downloads for 12 til 7am. The rest of the day the line isn't used until I get home at about 6pm which is when it CANT be used... Lol

I think they just an indexer becoz you still need to use your ISP's news server. I use them becoz their content is always up to date and they have a decent retention.

? retention ratio applies to the nntp host and not the indexer as far as i'm aware.

The Worlds End and 2 Guns....

Torrents were flying at max speed after 12am last night

Does anyone here know the difference between Telkom residential uncapped and TBiz uncapped?

 

[BashX]

I have an account there as well but I've never used it. To be honest I don't even know what it is

Would you be so kind as to let me use it since you ain't? Lol

So good torrent speeds for 7? hours out of 24??

I'm thinking of leaving AH for TI. My biggest concern is NNTP throughput. What will it be like? I'll be on the 2mb line (will downgrade back to 2mb is they upgrade)

217-220kb/s 24/7 for me

Yes, I think that's a fair policy since it reduces the risk of network congestion during the day.

217-220kb/s 24/7 for me

On a 2mb? Or 4mb??

Which servers are you using? the saix one or a paid-for one?

 

[DemonicBunnee]

I disagree, especially since I cant game between 5 -12...

2mb line

Same experience with usenetbucket & saix.

Haven't seen those kinds of speeds in a long time. Guess I'll join the TI crowd from December Thanks

I meant the policy is fair towards torrents. With regards to gaming I won't have a clue, maybe someone else can shed some light on this issue.

My point is, it would have been fair if everything else got the advantage from this...

I have yet to receive any feedback from TelkomZA since I logged a complaint last night, so basically I know I'm going to be frustrated with my internet again. How the hell do you play any games with 600ms

As for torrents or Usenet, Electric HOW do you get max 24/7??? I have joined 1st November, and have yet to see anything downloading faster than 160KB/s in the evenings on saix (during the day I see its basically running 15KB/s max), and torrents are sh&t the whole time.

How is it that existing customers can run as they like, and me the new customer have to sit with crap, I'm just saying this does not seem fair, some people run full speed and others can't!

@Pakka, I can't recommend this account, like I said I joined start of the month, and Im not happy at all currently.
