Telkom : Problem with international link?

[steel_dog]

Hey all,
Is anyone else experiencing slow international speeds?
My local speeds are pefect but international is way slow (3.5mbps vs. 0.4mbps).

Good to confirm it's not only me... but frustrated...

I've been battling to stream some videos with my telkom account but absolutely not problem with other accounts. My browsing has not been a problem though.

I've got full line speed on downloads, but bad lag on any game I play international or local.

International is better than the 0.4 yesterday.... but is unstable with peaks of 1.7mbps.

I'm seriously cheesed off now.
The international connection speeds are dismal... been days now. I've not experienced such before. Problems typically resolve after a day or two. Current connectivity is:
Local 3.31mbps down... 0.3mbps up
Intl(London) 0.41mbps down... 0.33mbps up
Intl(USA) 0.31mbps down... 0.37mbps up

Streaming is completely out of the question.

Any ideas folks? What's the next step. Pretty annoyed.

Hey all,
Intl Connection still terrible. Local is unaffected and fast.
Need some assistance. Can you all please perform an intl. test and post results and your area here.

I'm using www.speedtest.com to these servers
US Server: Comcast Boston (Eastern US)
UK Server: TransFM London

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Rgds,

@MickeyD: Thanks man. Speeds are completely erractic. Had speeds of 0.2mbps earlier this evening. Now sitting at 1.14mbps and 0.71mbps respectively....



And 2mins later 1.9mbps... dammit what's with the link?


Damn frustrated at the moment.

The only thing telkom had going for them was the stability of their network, now there is absolutely no reason to use telkom isp.

Huh? My results for a 1Mbps line on an international link is pretty impressive if you ask me.
