Bad ADSL connection

<p>I have been trying to get Telkom to sort out the the bad connection for the past 2 months. I have a latency of up to 3000ms at time between 3 and 11 at night. I have had the subcontractors over on 3 occasions and the last one 2 weeks ago said that a line needs to be replaced as their is noise on my line. Still waiting for the to change it.</p>

Hi,

would you please setup your router with the username and password below and do the test again please, and advise if there is any change. We have also handed the fault back to the testing centre to re-test as well.

I have used the guest account before to check if it was a problem and was still the same. I am attching two different pings for you and just to mention ,it took approx 3 min just to get onto your speedtest site. It is now going onto 3 months of this problem!

Ping statistics for 196.25.1.1:
Packets: Sent = 44, Received = 32, Lost = 12 (27% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 75ms, Maximum = 386ms, Average = 254ms


Ping statistics for 8.8.8.8:
Packets: Sent = 184, Received = 117, Lost = 67 (36% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 118ms, Maximum = 455ms, Average = 334ms

Both these pings were done before 7am this morning. Last night was the worst I have ever experianced with a minimum latency of 127ms and a 42% loss. Now I need you to sort out the phisycal cable and please realize that we have done all the other options.

Thank you.
