End of the month salty crack, everyone is trying to use up the last of their data putting excessive loads on ISP, at least that's my theory.

Or current connections made (profiles) is being throttled. Do a reboot and see how the speed magically is fixed. Why do you always need to be given a new account (OW) or reboot your rooter (AH) to get the account correct again?

I'm on 10Mb Business Uncapped and haven't had any problems. My line is currently running at max speed. Northcliff/Johannesburg area.

Try resetting your ADSL port from the client zone. Often helps as well.

Why on earth would I want to do that when its fine again after router reboot?
You do know that reset port can **** it up?
 
Started happening just after midnight here... Also on a 10Mbit line, synced at 10mbps and a 10Mbit business uncapped account

All I can say is thank g*d I am done with them in 2 days... This is starting to get absurd and ridiculous now...

My thoughts exactly.

Noticed the same speeds that the OP is reporting since Tuesday evening.

Network / MTN / IPC must be taking strain and there simply isn't enough to go around.

Sucks.
 
So.. Same ***** different day? I guess the "massive" IPC upgrade was just a white elephant to get their customers to keep quiet then.

Hence why they should rollover data. So this doesn't happen.
 
Hi all

Not quite sure what's happening here, looking at our network everything looks to be running 100% on our end.
Are there any ticket ref#'s I can have a look at you guys have logged?
 
Nou weeer lekker *** spoed. Ek skat hierdie is seker my farewell vanaf AH omdat ek na CW toe gaan...

10Mbps on 150+150:

Not at home atm to do a speedtest but last time I tried I was also getting about half of my normal. Seemed to be limited to 10mbps on my 20mbps connection. Account is a 150+150 so not a shaping issue. Will try a router restart when I get home though and post here again if it's still the same.
