Hi TelkomZa

Do you know what the deal is with the high latencies on SA Steam game servers these last few days? I am on TelkomInternet 4mb and friends of mine, one of which is on 10mb Metro Ethernet, are having the same problems as well as other guys on the servers. We battling with pings of 150ms+ but nobody seems to know what's going on. Can you shed any light? Battlefield servers hosted on Saix are fine, just seems to affect Steam games. Not sure who to talk to so thought I'd try my luck here, perhaps you know :)

Thanks

Hello TelkomZA

Do you have the super powers which can disable Value Added Services from a Telkom account? If yes, please let me know what info I can PM to you to help me :)

For some reason, one can only activate VAS via the Telkom website and not deactivate any! Not very nice of Telkom...

Thanks

Hi TelkomZA,

Could you please have a look into my congestion issue. My closed fault nr. is 565CWK081013

The Telkom technicians all went and tested the ADSL line itself and accused my modem/alarm/telephone for being at fault, when I know there's nothing wrong with it, because I've tested with the alarm & telephone unplugged, used a different modem and tried various ISP accounts.

Its clearly congestion when I'm on a 4Mbps ADSL line (synced at 4096/512) and I'm barely getting 1Mbps between 07:00 and 00:00 and only getting 3.4Mbps (max throughput) at 04:00 in the morning.

Thank you in advance!

Nice :) Now you can continue to participate in future myBB competitions without any line issues negatively influencing your chances of being selected as a winner.
