Yes! That is what I was telling Gert about this morning.... surely that must have some effect?

He was also saying that the cable was also lying on the floor somewhere and the Jackals made a meal of it....

Have about we all rock up at Telecom and inform them that we are all terminating our accounts. When they pay the "you are still in you X year, and you will be penilized for breaking the contract." card.....we play the not getting what we payed for card.

It seems that I have a flexi connection , Fast around 2 am , but going as low as to about 35kb at peak times - suppose that all the teens are then chatting on facebook or something like that , filling the pipe to capacity ?

Don't forget that cell phones use the same trunk line.....thats why even the the 3G is screwed.......
Thats Africa for you. In Europe people wouldn't put up with this abuse..

I did not know that !? cellphones as well on the same pipe ? ... well FNB 's telkom saw us comming [and that rude accronym has got nothing to do with a bank ]

There is plenty of space on the pipe to Windhoek, there is a technical problem somewhere.

Cell phones and 3G devices get bogged down when there are to many sharing a Cell Tower.
Less people awake at 2am so things work better.

Internet at work seems like it's back to normal....

Charles Scheepers · May 10, 2012, 02:52:10 PM

Nope....
It's still screwed.
Can't stream Internet Radio Station from overseas. Only Namibian stations.
All the smilie's on the forum take a week to download.

Can anyone tell me any GOOD news about this horrible internet connection we are having these days.....
Service providers (Telecom>>It's a good thing when you are the only provider, and holding the monoplay.) ain't bothered, they are still making millions without even providing a service.
Think by next week I'm going to terminite my contract.

Enough is enough.

This internet has not increased in speed.... in fact it feels slower.....

Mike Stenson (RIP) · May 21, 2012, 04:32:48 AM

The Internet is still stuffed

If you download a biggish file its a immediately apparent.

500kbps line speed should give you 50kBps download speed.
250....25
380...38
1000....100
1500....150
2000...200
I have a 2000 kbps line now and only get about 30kBps download speed.
Upload speed is normal.... I get what I pay for.....

All worked fine till a month ago....

Michael Alexander · May 21, 2012, 07:09:09 AM

I got 30kbs last night....
