Horrible ADSL connection, constant ADSL problems, expensive, slow, useless.

Hi all

A quick update but ASSIA-based Dynamic Spectrum Management Software was implemented to adjust line speeds based on SNR margins and other stats according to each ADSL line. One problem, it doesn't really work unless you're in a sweet spot.

I've called Telkom and logged calls maybe 10+ times to adjust my line speed down to 4 megs as that's when my line is happiest.

If left to its own choice, ASSIA adjusts my line to 5megs and my SNR download stats drop to 6 or lower and I get a lot of line drops, latency problems etc.

I have to constantly log tickets with Telkom to get my line sorted and they promise me that ASSIA is switched off for my line but sure enough, the next month, my line is back to terrible.

I swear, as soon as Telkom is sold off to funnel the sink hole that is SAA and is privatised, the better. I can see things actually changing for the better when the company is properly run.
