WoooooooWhoooo!!!!

I'd hate to burst your bubble but telkom does not offer ADSL2+ and the stats on that page is in bps...

So you are getting 3347.9kbps downstream and 507.9kbps upstream

You just got a noob telkom techie teaching u wrong lol

EDIT: BY THE WAY, when ADSL2+ comes out, ADSL2+ is only capable of 24Mbps MAX

when i said read above i meant the techi part lol , i think i posted it somewhere here twice that he is talking to the I.T guys , he said he will tell me toms

I won't believe in Any ADSL2+ untill I see a Netspeed.net Test Result!

You didn't post any results nowhere twice

na , because when i had a 3mb line it was 3072000 so now it is 3347900 , i know my router
 
dude... THINK about what u just typed

3,072,000
to
3,347,900

anything look familiar?
3.07 to 3.34?
how is the one 3 and the other one 33?

HAHAHAH, it caused some excitement at least. Our power was off the entire afternoon, and I really needed some good news...or a good laugh like now.

Just so that you understand anyway, he was talking about SYNCING at ADSL 2+ speeds, meaning that Telkom would be trialing those speeds already, a good sign.

He would still be limited to 4mbps from the exchange.
 
3 347 900 bytes = 3 269.43359 kilobytes

Its not ADSL2+ its normal 4mb. under performing.

I am starting to think the education system of today is rather up to **** if people cannot do basic math. There is no way your line will synch at that speed, us they accidentally laid a fiber connection into your house and plugged you into a ring.

Ask them to rest your ADSL port, if it ain't Synch in...
I phoned about 30 different operators one day, and only one guy was clued up on dsl, the rest of the staff hardly couldn't help me..

Lol no, he was syncing below 4mbps! He misread his speed in bps!

This is actually quite funny - a noob techie convinces a noob that he's running at 30+mbps, who in turn convinces most of you guys!

Read what he said again...

Just so that you understand anyway...

He knows what happened - was just explaining it to Keeper anyway that a speedtest would've been useless on the 21Mbit syncing line until they remove the 4M limit that is on the exchange ;)
 
Id13:

But he is "NOT" syncing at 21MBit speeds. His router is showing bytes.

I know what he was trying to tell Keeper, but I think you may have highlighted the wrong part - I was referring to this:

The dude isn't syncing at ADSL2+ speeds, so the explanation about the difference between sync speed and actual speed is pointless anyway. Are you still going to tell me that he knows what happened? :p

Damn I wish I had seen this thread earlier to point out the huge miscalculation first ;)
 
Do anyone here understand the meaning of 'anyways'? Anyone?

Do you understand now? We were just explaining it, should he have been syncing at 21M.
Then why say this:
meaning that Telkom would be trialing those speeds already, a good sign.
Firstly, somebody in the know wouldn't refer to it as a good sign.

Secondly, I wouldn't bother explaining the difference that a single word makes in a sentence, when then rest of the sentence contradicts what was supposedly meant. Especially if I had to commit a grammar error in my very own sentence. 'Do anyone'?

Let me know if you understand, before pointing fingers. ;)
_ why do i even try? _
Beginning to wonder the same thing.
