I'm surprised, I expected it to be worse based on your latency values from your prior speedtests:
472 = 2tb, 821 = contract

This is what I am getting with my B618-22d. The 65d I got from you I am using on another site.

Around 8 PM last night, my connection dropped to 3G, I rebooted, and now I can get > 100 Mbps again. Something must have been fixed.
@Ramiro1993 Still maxing at 50 Mbps?

Mine still working great.

I haven't done as many speed tests, but as long as I make sure I'm on LTE-A I seem to be getting a steady speed around 55 to 60, with occasional spike to 70. I think the max my tower can provide is in the 70 range.
This thread really has me convinced that Telkom LTE is the way to go, just a question on if there is a speed reduction if there are have multiple devices connected that are downloading or streaming, and upto how many connected devices does it take to really cause a drop in the connection.

It's quite resilient if you have 4G+/CA. I've got 5-6 PC's on at any time, a few phones and devices and I've only had noticeably higher latency once due to a full speed download on another PC. If you're coming from a provider like Rain, it feels world class.

Picked up an H112-370

I noticed this on my B316 but it’s a non-issue with the H112 locked to band40. Band 1+3 do degrade in speed during peak.
Band 1 + Band 20 might be a better option but B3+b20 isn't bad if there isn't any congestion.
Band 20 is low frequency so there might be more devices that favour

That's the bands mine aggregates.

Occasionally I receive the following sms:
"Internet access paused. Either your data bundle is depleted or you're not in Telkom's coverage and using a Telkom only bundle. Dial *180# or open your browser."
It's definitely not due to the bundle being depleted. Any idea why this happens?

@Crusader This is a known issue. Whenever your device tries to connect to a roaming Cell/Tower, this comes up.
Temporary solution:
Access the USSD *180# and look for the roaming option, turn that off* .The messages should then stop coming through.
*I don't recommend doing this for anyone using their sim for voice due to the fact if the tower is down, you won't roam. One cannot change the setting unless there is signal. Onc can plan around load shedding but otherwise it's not so simple.
You welcome

Might try that if issue persists. This rarely happens, but looks like the time coincided with the weekly automatic reboot.@Crusader This is a known issue. Whenever you device tries to connect to a roaming Cell/Tower, this comes up.
