Crippled & nauseating mobile data connectivity

Telkom Mobile has \upgraded"their charges while downgrading their connectivity.<br> I am connected but out of two DNS servers automatically allocated to my router connection one (196.42.45.190) is totally unresponsive and the response from other (196.42.50.190) is disgustingly out of specs as it took between just under 1sec. to just under 3 secs. to return test packets when the international specs require that it would be able to have a packet sent and returned within 0.5 second from a server on the furthest part of the world. So much for Telkom servicing our allegedly First Class African City. It is not even the raw connection that is so poor because I just test pinged a site in California and all 4 packets took between 379 and 419 ms each to make the return trip which is within specs"
