Telkom Speed upgrades

Not sure if they are busy with the upgrades in my area (Newlands, PTA) but for the last week I have had endless problems with my 4mb Line. Long periods of downtime, random dropping of line, slow throughput and then 3 times in the last week already my line has been downgraded to 2mbps, 1.4mbps and 2.5mbps respectively!

Reported it and I just keep getting the answer that it is being attended to and it is a network related error.

When I check I get the same, however my line will not sync at 10mb. Anyone know why?

Relax, the profiles haven't been upgraded yet. Website is always updated before the profiles.

I hope so as mine also shows the same as VScheepers. I will be a happy camper if only the ADSL profiles still needs updating.

Sure, please see attached. It doesn't actually state what will happen but if you look at the pricing blocks at the bottom it looks to me that what I said in my previous comment will happen.

Cool, pretty smart of them IMO.
 
Waiting for AH to come to the party. Eyeing the do Uncapped Advanced Bundle for R548.

AH has 14 days. Otherwise, goodbye. I'm sure a whole lot of people feel the same. All we hear from AH, the last 9 weeks, is "Soon".
 
telkom guy said i must check tomorrow i should get upgraded soon from 6mps to 10mps , hope i can finally can get a 10mps line , so i can stop moaning :p

Yet on 4 megs on PMB's Loop Street Exchange
 
Now what about those of us on 2Mb but are at a really long distance from the exchange? I take it we won't be upgraded in lieu of line stability?

You will be upgraded. Then line instability will force you to downgrade (back to 2Mbps) and you'll be on a lower tariff (than now).
 
Thanks. So I can expect a little instability for a day and then I'll know I've been upgraded. :D

BTW, what is the new 2Mb tariff?
 
They have already boosted my dslams backhaul. Usually by this time my line would be dead slow with congestion...yet today it is flying max pace 420kB. I am happy :D

Doubt my dslam will be upgraded to 10...but here is to hoping. My service also use to say 4mb...now today it is saying 10. Telkom said check in a day or two once they done to see if I can go up to 10.

For now though...a true working 4mb is more than sufficient. Finally hd streaming without a hitch. Wp Telkom. GG.
 
Sorry to bug but I can't recall the split between line rental and adsl and don't have an invoice near. What is the current 2Mb tariff?
 
Thank you Telkom.....

For nothing. Probably had 50 drop connections since 5pm. Now this.

A whole 0.7mbps. Wow!

This is suppose to be a 4mbps line... Or actually a 10mbps line according to Telkom site.
