My latest adsl speeds

Marq I would check if you have coverage for burst in your area. I had average coverage in my area and when I installed it, it was terrible, so burst went out the window as well.

if i have to remain with a capped line for now i don't really mind, i know of a local company that gives out a wifi but there cost are double that of iBurst, That said we have very good iBurst cover in our area so good that my friend use it to play very heavy online Games with it with virtually no lag. I don't play that type of games i am more into strategy myself. But for services like unotelly i would like to have uncap or at least the 25Gb+ option for R380 per month.

iburst 25Gb+

I canceled my DSTV a while ago and go to Musica Look & Listen and Loot for my DVDs also the Local Pick and Pay have a lot of movies going for R100 for 2 at times so I am happy with the DVDs as i get to watch the extras on the disk and I get to watch the full series movies without 15min of advertisement and sudden cut outs... Also everything is HD quality. Apple I-tunes is my music store and honestly i don't miss DSTV at all "accept for the boxing" that is the one thing i miss... hence why i am looking into unotelly.

I had a similar odd problem with my ADSL. The line would be terrible when the wind blows. I got Telkom out a couple of times and each time they would test, fiddle, find nothing wrong and leave. I got tired of it and walked the length of the road and photographed the entire lines and each pole. I wrote them a nasty email, with all the photographs and told them that I was going to put it all on Facebook along with a splurb about how k@k their service is. I asked them whether I could cable tie a new line along there old line and whether they would connect it for me. The following a day a whole squad of them arrive to fix the line...

lo and frigging behold, after 4 month of stuffing about they tell me that the line passes through a tree and that the movement of the branches affect the "temporary line that was installed long ago which has become my line" ....no $h1t Sherlock..

They eventually installed an new line for the entire street and the problem is gone...permanently.

The reason it took so long to fix is that the technicians don't log what they did to solve a problem. Johnny comes out and moves me to the blue and white wire. Pietie then comes and moves me to the green and white wire and then Gert comes a month later and puts me back on the blue and white wire....and nobody knows that all those wires are stuffed because Phineas spiced it in with duct tape the last time my neighbour complained....

Brain power she isss not beeg in Telkom!

In Cape Town? Why don't you just say you had a permanent problem with ADSL?

I have noted that some sites just simply take long to load, unfortunately THEFORUMSA is one of them.

That has me curious. For me, most often pages from the site load lightening fast.

If it's a regular occurrence, please run tracert in the cmd line, and copy and paste the result via pm to me please. I pay a fair chunk of change to run TFSA on a dedi, so I expect stunning response times.

EDIT: Or maybe it's a device issue... So add your device to that feedback please.
