Absolute non-existing Internet
<p>Hi... I have a 10mb internet line through Vox Telecom incl line rental, but obviously, my ADSL line and telephone line is through the only company you can have it, Telkom. This is the problem. My internet for most of the time, does not exist, my ping is never dropping below 535 ms when I want to use it online. My streaming is worse than when I had a 4mb line, my 10mb line is now only syncing at 8mb, which even Vox informed me, is not correct and the problem is coming from Telkom. Vox has been responding and assisting me within 24 hours of me logging an issue. However, when you try to get hold of Telkom, it is impossible. I phone, from my cell, and I have to sit 40 mins which ends up with someone that does not even know his/her job. 40 mins wasted and knowone at any telkom shop can help me, as there answer is, you need to phone Telkom. Really??? This is the reason, when LTE becomes available in my area, I will immediately cancel Telkoms services as there is no service. Prove me wrong, I DARE YOU!!!!!! I even heard from a source at Telkom, that they have big problems in the Despatch Eastern Cape area, but when asking them about it they know nothing... and it is all my neigbours, my friends, family in the whole region with the exact same problem. So it isnt just me... people are fed up. Everytime someone asks me about what internet they must get, I IMMEDIATELY tell them just do not get anything through telkom, not even a landline because they will warn you that you need to pay your bill, but they will not tell you there is a problem on the line, they are working on it. Disgusting</p>

Hi There
With Pleasure... telephone number is ***
How do I send the photos of the speed tests to you?
For the intrim, I will post the results in this message till I can send them to you via email or something.
First speed test on speedtest.net; (keep in mind I have a 10mb line)
Test 1... Ping - 82ms ; Download - 6.60 mbps ; Upload - 0.57mbps
Test 2... Ping - 150ms ; Download - 5.61mbps ; Upload - 0.51mbps
Test 3... Ping - 102ms ; Download - 5.31mbps ; Upload - 0.34mbps
Then I went and tested on speedtest.mybroadband.co.za
Test 1... Ping - 66ms ; Download - 4.45mbps ; Upload - 0.42mbps
Test 2... Ping - 190ms ; Download - 2.29mbps ; Upload - 0.49mbps
When I go into online games, even south african servers, my ping sometimes are low... but then within a few minutes it goes up to between 300 and 500 ms.
This is the most inconsistent my net has been in the last 2 years.
Also, when I log into my router, it syncs on 959kbps upload, and 8191kbps download. That already tells me there are problems and it never changes from 8191kbps since the last 3 months. When I got the internet it synced on 10284 kbps. I phoned Vox Telecom aswell, and they agree that the line is not syncing like it has to. It should sync on the full 10000 kbps.
If you want, send me and email address so I can send you these snapshots I took of the router info as well as the speed tests.
