Hi guys,

I'm currently on a 384k ADSL line with Telkom as my ISP. Whenever I try to navigate to sites I get connection timeouts more often than not. If I go into Facebook it takes forever to load sometimes and even then the interface of the website is messed up.

If I navigate to news24.co.za it takes about 2 minutes to load the page. When I play online games my character jitters around the screen...sometimes is even frozen.

Do you have any idea what is causing this? This has been going on for over a month now...
 
Try puting dsl-cache.saix.net into your browser proxy settings.
Port 8080
 
That usually happens to me when I am also downloading or uploading something else in the background.

What's your bandwidth usage like?
I think you may be running something in the background that you may be unaware of, like freaking Windows Updates.
 
Thanks Just Ice. I'm pretty sure nothing else is running stoke. Will try the cache solution. Thanks!
 
Also, another thing...when I try to login to some forums...specifically the WoW forums it logs me in but when it returns me to the forum page I've been logged out...
