Hey guys.
I wonder whether you have ever experienced something like this before. Yesterday afternoon i noticed that my connection seemed to be getting slower and slower. It had been on all day so i thought maybe it just needed a reboot. Once i rebooted, i tried to make a connection (bridged via a D-Link 504-t) and it responded "Line Busy". I then tried again and it took about 1 minute verifying username and password but it eventually connected. When connected it seems to have a packet loss of about 50% so it is effectively useless! I tried different machines (My laptop, server and desktop machine) and all 3 gave exactly the same response. It seems to only connect occasionally and when it does its terrible. I have tried with both an uncapped axxess account and a capped webafrica account and got the same response on both. I checked with Telkom and they claim there is very little noise on my line and it should be connecting perfectly. I resetted my adsl router and no change. I checked all connections and everything was fine. The only other thing they reckon it could be would be something at the exchange so they are supposedly tracing it back to my residence to check where the problem could be. Any one experienced something like this before?
