Our lines were stolen 4 times.

They offered us 8TA which doesn't work where I am.

We paid R15K to link to the exchange- less than 5ms pings wirelessly.

Then the other end, Telkom's end, just sucks when it wants to! Some nights, my ping spikes from less than 22ms up to 2000ms, and then back again. Other nights it's fine.

Telkom can suck my balls because I am sick and tired of this crap service and if anything will make me leave SA it's a toss-up between Telkom and Eskom.

Oh, wait, both controlled by the ANC...mmmmm?
 
Could be worse, could be controlled by the Greek government. Then you would have to bribe them to give you crappy service !

Lol going to another country cause of "crazy ping from telkom"?

remember ANC is our ruling party till 2014.

Anyway , Do you have AUS passport?
 
You wan't to move countries because you can't get a decent ping? :wtf:

Damn Right - the one thing I really enjoy and I have constant issues.

I enjoy the outdoors and our beautiful country, but I enjoy gaming online with my friends at night when the outdoors is not an option. Like I said, the one thing that will make me leave is the crappy Internet!

Join the club, feel assured you are not alone. FML
 
Only reason why we are stuck behind the rest of the world is because of the majority voting the ANC in all the time. But then I dont think the majority really cares about internet etc

I have friends all over the world & they ALL some or other time complain about their internet, so don't think it's all GREEN on the other side :whistle:
