ADSL problems frustrate users
Speeds as low as 2 kbps were reported last night, with some users unable to access basic websites and other online services. Very high latency was also reported on the ADSL network.
The problem has continue into this morning for many ADSL users with reports filtering through from across the country of downtime and very slow speeds.
These problems may be partly related to the line from Rosebank Core in Johannesburg to Belville Core in Cape Town being down. The report of the line fault emerged yesterday but it appears that not all the glitches in the system have been ironed out.
According to a MyADSL forumite Telkom informed him that there is a general network problem which is causing downtime and slow speeds on the ADSL network.
“This is so irritating! You know you have a problem on your network if your downtime starts becoming more than your uptime. I don’t give a crap what it costs you Telkom, fix the damn problem,” one subscriber said on the MyADSL forum.
Telkom was contacted to clarify this issue, but no feedback was received by the time of publication.
