The story behind higher Telkom ADSL sync speeds

Well I am cancelling my ADSL and moving to LTE since my 4Mbps line doesn't sync to anything more that 2Mbps and Telkom told me they can't fix it.:D
 
What!? Such bs! My sync speed has degraded if anything! From a perfectly functional 4mb down to 3mb. Line stats have degraded. Telkom are a bunch of ****ers.
 
The attainable speed on my line showed 12 last night, but showing 10 again now, although my 2mbps service is syncing at 2.5.

Having said that, I am curious as to whether the ISP portion would allow the slightly increased speed. My 2mbps uncapped is also with Telkom - do that login most likely won't benefit from it anyway.

My 10 Mbps telkom ADSL
 
My sync speed increased for a while, then a thunderstorm hit JHB a couple of weeks ago. Since then, my downstream speed is back to where it was before the increase and my upstream speed has halved. Upstream (on a 10Mbps line) is now 508Kbps and downstream is 10239Kbps.

Yesterday, Telkom replaced my (their) cable to the pole (sorry, don't know the correct terminology), but that's done absolutely nothing. The old cable was perfectly fine.
 
Mine is syncing at 12.5 on a 10m line.

The article implies though that if you subscribe to the 2m line you could sync at 12.5 - surely there are still maximums?
 
I sync at 5 mb now, but still only get 4 mb speeds. Guess the mini DSLAM can't handle more.

Router says max download is 21564 Kbps :whistle:
 
8Mbps line, sync speed 5.1Mbps
Getting 64% of what I pay for :-(
I should be allowed to get a 36% discount?
 
Other than confirming what we already know, there is not much body to this story.

MyBB should have pushed Telkom for the reasons why they implemented Dynamic Spectrum Management.

Simple... it's about MONEY!!!

By implementing this tool they can reduce the number of faults reported to their call centres and dispatches to the customers by their technicians.

As those volumes drop so they can justify another staff reduction - retrenchments! More savings!!

Don't let this press release fool anybody... Telkom is "giving" us nothing.
 
Mine is mow 8.1 om 10 MB line, was a perfect 1024 before ASSIA, My SNR and attenuation are excellent.
