    Cool Ideas Fixed LTE (MTN) Odd Throttling (?) Behaviour

    I feel for you. This issue is mega frustrating. It's interesting to see that I am not the only one who was getting this issue, because I was really starting to think that it's something specific to my exact location. Cool Ideas has been amazing through the whole ordeal, but seeing as the issue...

    Cool Ideas Fixed LTE (MTN) Odd Throttling (?) Behaviour

    Just an update. Unfortunately, still not winning. MTN came around for a site visit yesterday afternoon (Around 14h00). The chap didn't chat much, but on their 'control' LTE SIM, he was getting around 280Mbps!? And then when switching over to my setup, with my SIM, he was getting around 4Mbps...

    Cool Ideas Fixed LTE (MTN) Odd Throttling (?) Behaviour

    Hello again. I might be jumping the gun a bit, but it looks like the problem has returned as of yesterday afternoon. Up until then we were getting consistent speeds of over 100Mbps (More like between 150 and 190Mbps), but yesterday afternoon it dropped to about 20 or so. I thought (and still...

    Cool Ideas Fixed LTE (MTN) Odd Throttling (?) Behaviour

    So, as a bit of an update to anyone following this (or maybe for people in the future), the awesome peoples at Cool Ideas sent me another new SIM card, and a new router. I have attached a screenshot with the speed tests between the 2. I did two tests with the old SIM and router, before switching...

    Cool Ideas Fixed LTE (MTN) Odd Throttling (?) Behaviour

    As it's weekend, I could (and actually remembered) to do speedtests as it hit midday today, to catch the drop-off in action, and my speeds change at EXACTLY 12AM and 12PM each day. These speedtests were from a few minutes ago, and show the drop at exactly midday.

    Thanks a bunch for the reply, and the attention to the issue @CoolEscalator . I really do appreciate it. The chap who has been helping me with this issue did give me a call this morning, and mentioned MTN suggesting that I switch the router to 4G only. I have done this, but so far, not much...

    Cool Ideas Fixed LTE (MTN) Odd Throttling (?) Behaviour

    Thanks for the reply! The SIM card numbers aren't too similar, but I wouldn't immediately disregard the bad batch theory. My next step is probably to accept Cool Ideas' router deal to rule out my router being the issue. Would probably be the most convenient if that turns out to be the...

    Just an edit; I double checked on our speedtest history, and the problem actually started again from the 21st of May already (Not the beginning of June) So the new SIM worked correctly for about 5 days.

    Cool Ideas Fixed LTE (MTN) Odd Throttling (?) Behaviour

    Hello all. I am sitting with a very strange issue, one of which I am not sure how to resolve, so I thought I would put it out here for all the clever online peoples to have a look at, to potentially offer solutions (Or to maybe even just tell me that I'm not alone) We have been with Cool Ideas...
