Has vodacom given us free upgrades during the trial?

tested this a couple of times and the speed seems to be constant.

What device are you using?

 

[Ockie]

Wow...that is very cool. But I want to know the same answer as morkhans. What device? We have not yet started issuing devices capable of those speeds. The fastest modem we have @ the mo is 7.2mbps and for those modems to reach thos speeds you need a advanced bundle as Vodacom have not yet migrated clients to the 7.2 profile as default?

 

[Iam3G]

Theres no device available in SA yet capable of those speeds?

B970

Good question? is the b970 even capable of this speed, if not, whats going on with speedtest.net?

 

[rustic]

Just tested again slightly slower but still 10 odd Mb/s

B970 is capable of 7.2 only by default. Not sure if this is pumped up with a firmware update. Have you dont any updates on it?

What does speed.vodacom.co.za give you?

How long does your cap last?

Vodacom speed test results

Lmao download 0.60Mb/s Upload 0.67 Mb/s with a ping of 334

second test 0.47Mb/s upload 0.45Mb/s ....

Huge difference....

 

[Ockie]

I wonder why the big difference?

 

[rustic]

Never been this fast before, so not sure. Can't see the point of 13 MB/s with what vodacom charges for its bandwidth though. Rather have good pings

 

[rustic]

Makes you wonder though, do the hardware manufactures throttle their devices to make us buy a new one every time there is an upgrade to the network, or are the devices genuinely only capable of the advertised speeds.

 

[Ou grote]

Those tests must be costing you a fortune.

Not actually sure how much data the test sends but you're probably right

Pick a different server on the speedtest.net site. I suspect the results you are seeing are incorrect. The speed.vodacom.co.za results look more realistic although your download is terrible.

The higher the speed, the bigger the data being downloaded and uploaded.

 

[J0n0]

On my 3.2mb connection it does about 2mb.
