Vox Telecom Fatpipe

[Francois Marais]

About 10 disconnections today... Wonder if it is Telkom or VOX...

Awesome! Anyway to check online if your exchange supports adsl2?

Most exchanges do unless you're out in the sticks, but you have to be really close to an exchange to get 20meg... I can see my exchange from my garden and even then I'm marginal for a full 20meg

Had some issues like this on AfriWeb, and just got worst since I joined VOX.

Would still rather opt for Vox Unshaped..

So do you say that the vox fatpipe is still a better option to take?

On the FatPipe deal (100GB) on my 4mbps line I pay R249 per month. If I get a 10mbps line I will still pay R249 for my data. That and the added 00h00 - 06h00 free downloads... It seems like a better deal to me

Also don't forget the data rollover. That is a nice to have as well.

Yup

Much better experience using Vox Full Line speed most of the Time compared to Mweb where i would only see it maybe on a Speedtest

Data Rollover and Unshaped FTW !

Was on mweb 4mbps premium uncapped now on vox capped 400gb for only R485.. but with a 10 mbps line although only managing 8 mbps due to Telkom limitations.

Looks like I will take the fatpipe then

Try another ISP, otherwise post your line stats.

Line stats

I don'y know if this is the correct stats

Sorry, forgot that.

That shows your SNR is 8,9 dB for downstream, which is quite low. Telkom's new system tries to keep that above 6, so if there are any variations it might disconnect you and then resync at a lower rate. Monitor it over a period of time. The strange thing is your attenuation is very low as well, so it is possible your line is a bit damaged or there is a loose connection somewhere.

So you have a Telkom phone? Can you hear static or noise on the line? Maybe ask Telkom to come and check the line?

Some more reading here.
