Okay, so ive been disconnected about 50 times tonight, here are some of my amazing speeds to go with it

Gets better, I dont think you people know what effort I went throo to fucking post this BULLSHIT!!

Telkom the other day swapped my lines around and we didnt even know what the fsck was going on. I went on the internet for 12 hours with no infinite call, oh my word..

Welcome to the world of capped ADSL. ;p

EDIT:

Actually, scratch that. You at least get 1kB/s in the first one and half a kB in the second. We don't. Quit whinging :/

WOW thats slow.....
Shame N then the thin with the infinite call.....tsktsk

(HATE TELKOM)

I am gonna get adsl soon, its cheaper in another way.......

Im not on ADSL...56k
Most days im lucky to even go on websites and IRC. Typing this at the moment I just got disconnected and I was only on for 2 minutes...

Justice is served. Goodnight.

u sure rats aren't chewing on your phone line ?

Not that I know of...

Its about time South Africa gets a new phone company, either that or people that are getting crap service must really take advantage of the situation! People must start sueing telkom and tuning their workers who give crap service!

There is slim chances of that. Telkom will always be in this country, they even have a 99 year policy

What they need is that damned competition - when did they say the SNO was coming out? April wasn't it? :|

I heard it wasent coming out anymore?

The SNO still seems to be on the cards, but there would seem to be a question over exactly when the licence will be given (supposed to be this year).

Meanwhile Telscum's earnings are up 30% on last year.

You should see Telkom shares aswell, sheesh

Didn't they list at around R30 a share? Article says they expect to lose 15% market share to the SNO - must be a conservative estimate -

Hoping its a whole lot more

Dam man that’s slow I get 115.5 Kbps most of the time not to slow but in comparison here at work I have 100 Mbps so I get very frustrated at home,

But I must agree Telkom sucks, I to get disconnected about 2 to 4 times every time at home and that I don’t like, it’s usually up for 5 min before disconnecting usually I forget about it and start downloading something and go do something else and after a hour or 2 I recon it must be finished downloading and when I get there it hade disconnected 2 hours wasted and my f@#*^$ time.

excuse me, but just who do you work for? NASA? because for a company to be able to afford a 100mb/s line in south africa, they will need some very deep pockets.

Maybe he's looking at the speed of his network connection in Windows

Hi demon



No not for NASA but for SASOL man belief me they have deep pockets.

Sorry to disappoint you thewanted_ but I’m not that Stupid I'm a IT Professional

Sasol gust in fact spend 500 mil on a SAP PORTAL system first in SA, I was the Crystal Reports Developer gust that cost 2.5 mil for the licenses and software and server.

and to think...

they could have saved 80% on license costs if they went the open source route :/

and waited 6 years for the open source apps that implemented the functionality they needed

k name one "functionality" that proprietary apps have that opensource applications lack...?

Standard Bank is going open-source (linux). Hopefully they take the money they saved and invest it elsewhere.

Either way... I think its a step in the right direction.

Gust for interest.

The hole Project cost 500 mil the licenses gust the crystal licenses was 1.2 mil for 2 cpu server crystal enterprise licenses and 2 developer licenses.

There where 20 java and .net developers
And there licenses they got JBuilder 7, 4 packages for R20000 etch and never used it
They used Microsoft’s visual studio .net for developments know.
And SASOL got a contract with Microsoft for don’t know till when.

But check this on the project there where a American man that worked with databases and he got R2000 bucks an hour and worked 42 hours a week it works out at R84000 a week and R336000 a month and he worked 2 years on the project that works out at R8064000 at the end not with tax and all the overtime

They like to waists money like one is where they decided to bay a know computer network you work of a server in citrix on a finclient I’m not shore the amount they spent but they gust decided it doesn’t work and will go back to desktop pc’s soon. And all is COMPAQ computers

Gust before I started to work in IT I was a storeman and one time they needed a valve that costs 1.7 mil when it got there is was the wrong one but it laid outside in the rain and stuff and got rusted some nice 1.7 mil wasted.

And last time a hared I can be wrong if they do total shutdown maintenance of the factory they loose 25 mil a hour...

I still can't believe taht they have a 100mb/s wan link. thats really fast. the fastest i have ever worked on was 40m/bs and that was in the building of one of the biggest IS(p)'s in SA.

Anyway, dawg, how about MS Exchange for propriatry technology? There is no othe groupware suite that can come close to it and the stuff you can do with it is amazing - we have written some pretty nifty workflow solutions on exchange.

there are one or two OSS groupware solutions available, and you get outlook connectors for them, so they act as exchange servers. AD support, the works.

If i can find it i'll post a link here.
