Now I've been battling with Telkom complaining about internet speeds during 17h00 and 23h00 thats just been getting slower and slower and well months later I'm still waiting for help, with zero response from Telkom my last complaint have been unattended for 4 weeks now and network is dropping almost each night non stop.

Now I'm just wondering are there any other users out there experiencing the same problem of speeds completely degrading during those hours.

Kinda hectic paying 2k a month and I can't even do online gaming cause I get disconnected but I thought it might have been a tower problem and now after reading some threads on the forum I'm starting to think it's just Telkom being unable to manage a decent quality of network service, which means or indicates to me I can go ahead with my complain to ICASA and then get out of these dam Telkom contracts and move elsewhere, Vodacom is just killing me with there dam data prices wish they would wake up and get there data prices in line with Telkoms data deals, cause that about the only hold Telkom have over certain clients is price.

Doesn't work on prepaid either , well atleast on my B315.

Not familiar with these routers, but generally when you buy those "All Network" bundles you have the option to roam on MTN. Not so for telkom's massive data contract though

I have seen my LTE speed come down from 40mbps in the last 6 months to around 25mbps at night.
