Help Neotel....

I have an ADSL line...

Something is wrong when my upload speed to your ISP is twice the download speed you are getting. They need to do something. And these guys are supposed to be the great Telkom killers?

Hell, it's not just the very bad speed but the high ping times really bothering me. Gaming becomes impossible. My last check showed 1438 ms pings to the Second Life servers. That is almost ... oneandahalfsecond ... so roundabout the time it needs to read the number very very slowly. Unplayable! Unbearable! Unacceptable! Do I pay R 999,-/month just to get annoyed and disappointed??? Neotel claims to use the most modern wireless and fiber technology. But claiming alone won't help us ... Neotel, show the goodies.

I have tested both in Midrand and in Wilropark with the same result... Killove, where are you based... I would like to test using your tower. It seems my device is being capped.

Neotel is consistantly slowwer than their advertised speed. Their help desk is pointless as I have to explain basic IP networking to them....

Honestly, do they expect me to pay for this?

Very inconsistant results which went from bad to worse in a matter of just minutes. Unacceptable! Particularly when considering this kind of crap costs me R 999/month. I could pay off my home loan in half the time if I used the money for that.

Neotel, get your act together!!!

Am I missing something? Didnt Neotel state that you'd receive on average between 300 -> 700kbps? Arent all three results more then 700kbps ? I dont think you should post those speed results then complain about the speed, it just doesnt make sense.

I understand that Neotel has been pretty inconsistant over previous weeks, but since some time last week, my service has improved. Latency so ZA servers are 200 -> 300 ms. Yesterday on my speed tests I got 1400kbps.

Hopefully it continues.

My hassle was never with speeds though.

The speedtest.net site doesn't seem to be working, odd:rolleyes:
