Very interresting, how is it?

 

[Kevinf]

Still only getting 1024Mb speeds. Don't think ISP accounts support 4Mb yet.

 

[dabouncer]

Awesome, mine should be happening soon. Where abouts do you stay?

 

[Kevinf]

Parktown.

 

[dabouncer]

Interesting... I wait eagerly to be upgraded... Maybe try reset ur router and see if u can get quicker than 1mb speeds and if ur sync rate stays at 4096.

 

[matt loves telkom]

ok.can i ask what accounts you guys with 1024kbps lines have?

 

[dabouncer]

Internet Solutions Accounts, the ones with the 30gb local.

 

[Kevinf]

dabouncer that's an idea. I will do just that.

Thanks.

 

[dabouncer]

Cool, keep us posted.

ya - see this is what i was worried about...

since i stay about 3.7km from the exchange - this is turning out bad for me

same observation made - as from 7:30pm 2nite i got resynched to 2664 down on my original 1152.

but also with it - my SNR immediately took a drop from 21 to 8.1 - 7.9

its now 8:12pm - and i've experienced 17 synch losses - with the resynch trying 32kb more or less to find a stable setup - but no go.

aaai - i want the speed - but man - distance seems to own me
now i've got to phone them up and say oi - synch me back to 1024

to those who are gonna have full 4 mips - enjoy!

 

[dabouncer]

That sucks. Im not too far from the exchange so hope i wont have problems. Where do u stay? I stay in JHB - Fairlands and it seems this upgrade is happening all over today. Maybe we next.

Come on Telkom, upgrade me already.

 

[matt loves telkom]

can i ask.surely if you have 4mbps lines its kinda pointless to have a 3 gig cap right? how many gigs do you guys hve?

 

[dabouncer]

Correct. Average users dont go for 1mb lines because of that very problem.

 

[tishza]

Pissed off with Vodacom

Anyone feels the same ? Even GPRS is f*cked up Telkom is better by far

 

[dabouncer]

I think u posted in the wrong thread!! lol

 

[matt loves telkom]

Ok - so at least Telkom are taking a step forward.IF one day they do allow for bigger cap limits or uncapped accounts this will help alot
but for now its kinda lame ? 4mbps - thats fast.yes - its not 8 mbps or anything but its decent upgrade

 

[dabouncer]

Well its only a trial so there are NO guarantees its gonna last forever. I recon bringing out a 2mbps line would be good. Alot of users would go for it IMO.
