Local ping is terrible still :mad:

Same story, trace route looks okay but in-game the ping is a disaster (all games).
 
I just got ADSL installed two days ago and I am already having ping problems in the evening



I cannot test during the day as I am at work. Telkom need to sort out their issues.
 
Everything is still so damn slow. You would think that after 3 days MyBroadband would have posted something about what is causing the issue.
 
Still crappy on my end too. Can't watch a Netflix episode without constant buffering, and even then it is way below normal quality. I'm on a 10Mb line/account and have not reached threshold.
Gaming is a joke too. In BF4 most of the time I can spawn, but then cannot move or damage anyone. Awesome.
 


Looks great, huh?

Let's see how international goes:



Any chance of a small clue perhaps?

Or do we just have to wallow in this **** forever, while forking over hundreds of Rands a month for this bollocks?

Something is definetly amiss with International traffic. The OW thread is littered with complaints of poor International latency and downloads.
It looks like the problem isn't just with Ti.
 
Working this morning again in PE but for how long?
If the last few days are anything to go by then I can expect a broken international line again.
I've resorted to stocking up on nzb downloads in anticipation of no internet this evening.
 
electric are you using news.sait.net because that dont work for me

I am using a usenetbucket account.
I tried saix last night when international traffic was farked, thinking that maybe local news would work.
Nope seems like saix is down.

So this morning I lined about 15 or so gb on Usenetbucket.
Running full speed.
So I'll take advantage of the speed window while I can.
In all honesty though, usenetbucket is cheap and by far a better bet than local free news.

Not even R50 a month for 1100 days retention and 25 connections.

It's weird.
I would think that the news server would work considering it's local and local traffic seems to not be battling.
But I guess not.

I hope Telkom respond soon because their customers are clearly getting restless.

I've also noticed the connection seems great in the early morning (before 7-ish), but after that it QUICKLY goes downhill. Yesterday morning I was running at 3.6mbps down and 200ms latency internationally and got very optimistic, but then last night my connection dropped to 70kbps down with 600ms latency internationally...

Seems we won't be getting an official response anytime soon, so I'm just waiting it out until the end of the month and taking it from there.

Yeah, I've observed this too. It seems like it could be a lack of international capacity.

This is very disturbing because I would have thought that Telkom have provisioned for this due to their line speed upgrades.
 
yes it is weird, my current connection state with nzb download.jpg

I honestly don't think this is the issue.
There is clearly a problem and I don't doubt Telkom are working on it.
Things have not been this bad before for me.
