This has happened before. HTTP downloads fly, while browsing and torrents are dead
 
Testing p2p = dead nntp =30 - 100KB/s (bit erratic)
Everything else works youtube , browsing etc
10mb uncapped
 
I'm on a 1mbps connection, and everything runs flawlessly (for what it is). SpeedTest.net ranges between 700-950kbps constantly. Torrents are painfully slow though - especially early evening. Everything else is great though.
 
Ffs, Telkom was down from 11pm yesterday to 6am this morning, my torrents only managed 2.6gb the whole day on 4mbps uncapped.... Fail.

Multiple IPC links failed in our Gauteng site at 00h36, and were restored at 05h38. We will follow up with Telkom Wholesale on why this occurred, as our requirement upon which they provided proposals was for diverse paths for links that should be failover for each other.

All fine here on my 2MB Uncapped. Http dl's are sailing along at an almost constant 216kbps, and browsing is fine as well. Busy downloading iOS 7.0.3, and all's well.
 
Just Teamviewed to my desktop at home.
Torrents are flying this morning guys!!!
 
Grrr... TI has been a bit frustrating the last few weeks. I was on 4MB uncapped until the 1st of October. Asked for the 25% discount, got it. No complaints. HTTP downloads running at line speed, Netflix streaming perfectly, Youtube perfect. I upgraded to 10MB uncapped, expecting more of the same. HTTP downloads are hardly ever at line speed. Hovers between 400KB/s and 700KB/s, sometimes going up to 900KB/s. Youtube between 6PM and 11PM is a hit and miss affair. I have no idea what it is like during the day. Netflix is also pretty bad. Hardly ever get it to stream HD, and even on low quality, buffering two or three times in an episode. Torrents 0KB/s until 00:00 I guess, have not stayed up to see how fast they come down after that. Newsgroups hover between 30KB/s and 350KB/s. Never seen it go higher. I had a MUCH better experience while still on 4MB/s. I logged a ticket on the 22nd of October (Ticket 415666) and have had no feedback at all as of yet.

It might sound crazy, but I'm beginning to suspect my problems started after I asked for the 25% discount. Maybe Telkom put me into a low pririoty pool because I can't cancel without paying a 10% penalty...

Telkom would never do such an underhanded thing LMAO

So 2nd night in a row where my traffic more or less died overnight and I only managed a few megabytes between midnight and 6AM. Torrents are still COMPLETELY dead (0 kilobytes per second) between 7AM and 11PM. Everything else jumps from 1-100 kilobytes on my 1MB line. Very erratic. Problem must however be on my side LOL.
