Hi Afrihost, do you know anything about the connection quality in these 2 towns?

I bought an Afrihost Mobile bundle specifically for my g/f to use whilst she's away on business for quite a while up there so that we could Skype. Unfortunately it seems to the 3G reception there is so poor, that voice over Skype is an effort in futility, never mind video calls!

I got her to do a speedtest.net in Mahikeng:
1.53mpbs down
0.06mpbs up

Haven't had the chance to do it in Rustenburg yet, but we tried to Skype briefly there and it was even worse.

In both instances, she'll be in and around the town centres, so it's not like she's in the bush or nothing. The coverage map shows she should be well covered.
