Telkom Internet Uncapped User Feedback.

Thanks for that Wackyza, seems things have taken a turn recently. This morning things are certainly painfully slow and speedtest yields 2Mbps on a 10Mbps line.

We need to shine the Ranger spotlight to come and tell us what is happening before he gets glued to his shiny PS4 (am guessing) this Friday .

Actually, compared to yesterday when browsing was noticeably slow (but not painfully so as some have reported), things seem to be back to normal here in PE.

Ah okay, it must be just my area then. I was browsing here and SAGamer and it was taking upto 20secs to load. Perhaps it will become better in time as i know they work fast to resolve issues.

/am awake early today

I couldn't play Gary's Mod last night over TI Uncapped

 

[Supersnake]

I'm also having issues with my line, its currently moving at snails pace. Is this the norm for TI?

 

[Qrox]

Also slow here. Been a big mess since yesterday morning. Is there any official word on what is going on? or is everyone just throwing theories out there?

 

[Yuu]

Seems snappy now for me. What about you guys?

 

[Hectic]

Browsing seems okay for me.

What plans?

What plans?

Sorry, should have added (if any) - Romark was attempting to contact the Area Manager for Kirkwood.

No not really, accept that I'm connected to ATM. Could not find out if there any plans to upgrade us.

Ok so I just saw this price for the bundled telkom 4mb uncapped account.

or https://secureapp.telkom.co.za/prod...663&maxSpeed=10240&orderType=new#.Uqj3nvRe1xA
This looks like a really good deal, any insight if this is worth it? I'm a heavy downloader/games/streamer and use P2P services a lot. I'm currently on the MWEB 2mb premium account. Is this worth it?

 

[Yuu]

What sort of difference in price is it to your MWEB price? If it is +- R100 then take the offer .

Does Telkom do pro-rata? There was a time that you were advised to activate services on the 1st of the month. Is this still the case?

It makes no difference.
Mweb sucks.

People should get banned for posting such large images, what's wrong with thumbnails?

I haven't used saix for nzb lately as I have a usenetbucket account
I noticed last night that saix clearly shapes nntp downloads.
4mb line was downloading at around 250kb/s whereas my usenetbucket account downloads at full speed normally around 433kb/s.

Just food for thought really.

I can confirm that hey, i have a Tweaknews account, and on my 4meg i get about the same speeds you mention, but with my Saix server, i get about between 200 and 360kbps...

I ordered my line and uncapped product about a week ago. They lady informed me that they will charge prorata from the moment I connect for the first time. Hope this helps.
