Unstable connection

[koffiejunkie]

Does anyone know why, or is anybody else going yo-yo this afternoon (and yesterday afternoon) as well?

From my logs I gather that something on the other side is dropping every couple of minutes. I'm in Blairgowrie, solid 5 lights signal - no clue where I'm connecting to though. Everything was pretty good up until now.

From my ppp logs:

Any idea what's going on?

its happening in bedfordview and northcliff as well, it seems whatever they're fixing, they're fixing Sentech style... thus this would be the "normal" connection from now on. ic can confirm this, as well as several others.

what has changed?

I don't think WBS' level of incompetence has changed, or has it?

 

[guest2013-1]

it has, they're now even more incompetent than before

 

[Next Thing]

it has, they're now even more incompetent than before

I think I am gonna stand outside the Kempton tower with a shotgun . My link has been fine for a while now , so please dont mess with it.

At 3Kbits/s or 0.375KBytes/s I honestly don't see how WBS could be more incompetent...

koffiejunkie,

You are just down the road from me, but my connection has been constant and stable. In fact, today it has been gong even faster than usual:

http://www.tcpiq.com/tcpIQ/LineSpee...ountryId=196&ConnectionId=11302&UserId=147010

You are most likely on the Randburg BS, but maybe the Sandton BS.
