Well I switched to 8ta because of the increased data and cant be happier (touch wood). Other than the fact that Telkom can manage to send my invoice to email and not post I am happy.
 
Pretty p'ed off at the results for my 1Gb/s

8ta latency is sky-rocketing! Expected to hit 5 seconds by december.

First week I had 8ta, the ping was BRILLIANT (40ms) :D
proof: http://www.pingtest.net/result/46954925.png (15 sept, 41ms, 9ms jitter)
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1486223236.png (16 sept, 40ms)

But, it has gotten progressively worse! Check out what happened after one week: (136ms) :wtf:

And NOW, two months later, it is worse than vodacom! (785ms) :mad:

At this rate, in one month's time, it's going to be as bad as cell c's EDGE ping of 3sec to 5 sec!!! :twisted:

What's going on, 8ta? You're not going under already are you??!

Im having this exact same problem started off so well and just getting worse and worse I have emailed 8ta dont know what that will achieve
 
I have been experiencing the same issue. Awesome the first 2 weeks of being on the contract, thereafter it just got worse with every week that passes.

What the heck is going on 8ta?
