Telkom also denies problem

On my 1meg line my international downloads run at like 10kbps thats if I can access the site. Locally everything is running smoothly without a hitch. I phoned Telkom about the problem and they also have no reports on international problems. What was a bit odd about the problem was that when I phoned them the answering machine told me they are experiencing a very high amount of callers at the moment. So someone is hiding something.

I'm thinking of using my old 56k modem again for international downloads it seems to be faster than my adsl line at the moment.
 
slow international connectivity due to a Telkom Link failure.

Yep its slow.
 
If int dies, my local dies for some reason too, it's so freaky and unexplainable, I want to cry ;)
