Slow internet speed South JHB
At first I thought it was just me but my bud in Glen Vista/Mulbarton is also experiencing slow internet speeds for the last 2 or 3 days. We are both on MWEB(384 uncapped).
Anyone else here experiencing the same problem?

I wanted to murder someone because I couldn't play Star Craft 2. Everything is fine now though.

Survivors log #003: The time is 9:57am and it's been about 3 days since I've had proper internet speeds. Hope is starting to fade. The two other survivors that I've found couldn't take it anymore. God bless their souls.

Absolutely dreadful in Brackenhurst for the last two days. Using Webafrica at work and can barely do anything. Mweb was significantly better at home last night.

Not related. It's not even hooked up to any domestic networks, and even if it were, the people wanting to use it would have to update their routes anyway.Siemens wrote:Also the new cable arrived in cape town yesterday I think. Related?

Survivors log #005 it's now 2:31pm and internets has still not been restored... I can't handle it anymore. This will most probably be my last survivors log. Tell Rebecca Black I love her.

Re: Slow internet speed South JHB
Survivors log number... I seem to have lost track of the number. It's day 3 I think and I somehow managed to survive yesterday. The speed seems to be somewhat improved but still not near what it was. So there is still a glimmer of hope. Untill then I still have to rely on the primative communication medium of what was called an SMS.

Re: Slow internet speed South JHB
A buddy phoned mweb and apparantly the slow speed is not only because of the seacomm cable. South JHB is according to them worst affected and Telkom is working on a solution. :/ I hope it's fixed before the long weekend. I doubt Telkom staff will be willing to work on the long weekend. (Yes someone is bound to quote this and remove the last 4 words of that sentence and then title it as "fixed" can't wait)
