TelkomZA advised that they have increased capacity in the North and awaiting upgrades in the South. Any comments?
 
I'm still happy with TI but I've noticed they have been playing with the QoS as my daytime torrenting now impacts normal browsing which wasn't the case prior to last weekend.

Assuming all the gamers & VOD users have moved to greener pastures I'd prefer TI to revert to the old QoS model :)
 
I'm trying really hard to dump them, but 10210 won't pick up :/

Well you know I did. Mostly due to a total lack of communication.
I still believe in TI as an ISP, as long as it works.
When it is broken though, it is like an imported product without local support.

That said, I believe that info you received.

We know AH has been struggling since last year to receive the extra capacity they ordered and although they received some of it last month, it still was not all of it.

For me the hassles with TI began late December and looking at AH, I can see how TI could still be waiting for additional capacity.

I don't know why it takes so long to receive additional capacity for our ISP's, but at least I can work with my Internet, although I'm shaped badly on P2P and http downloads most of the day. (Home uncapped package). Realtime service are running very good for, me, including streaming.
I also have the public promise that we will have our additional for the South "Soon".

On TI it was completely broken for me, except from 01:00 - 06:00 and no feedback, no promises.

It would please me if Telkom didn't blame their overshaping policy on a fault.
 
I complained about their service the past 4 months. I got a phone call by a lady trying to troubleshoot for slow speeds. I was like serious she did not understand what mybroadband is nor that its a national problem

I have had ADSL since 2009.

In my travels, I have come across ISP's that have run out of capacity (AH + pre IS WA), 9 times out of 10 they will blame everything else under the sun except to admit to the real issue. I have since learnt not to honour any loyalty towards any ISP but to vote with ones wallet, sometimes paying for 2 ISP's during the transition, but being much happier in the long run - eg: some folks here have been suffering for 4 months or more.

One learns to keep a pulse on ISP's performance, and always have a plan B when the next one inevitably fails you.

So far, big up to IS (not OW anything uncapped) and Vox, I spit on MTN (AH/Axxess), Mweb & Cybersmart just off the top of my head.
