3g struggles

[Coby!82182]

I moved from Graskop Mpumalanga to Endicott between Springs Delmas Nigel and do not get my work done due to 3g signal on and off all the time. Is there any solution for this problem? What is others in the area using please? There is no Telkom adsl service and I was advised to use FLLA. I googled it and was broad to these forums. Thank you I hope I am not out of line to bring up the issue here. It was not my intention

Hi Coby,

what provider are you currently using? I assume this area.
Your options are: If Telkom I would suggest the uncapped LTE option (with router), though you might have trouble getting it if you are not in an LTE zone. The coverage map isn't loading for me right now.
The other options are MTN via Axxess (3G Coverage available) and Vodacom (section LTE coverage, full 3G) via Crystal Web.

If possible, you could also try a WISP solution.

One option, is to use a high gain directional antenna to improve your signal.

Get prepaid sims from all the networks and see which returns the most stable data network in the area. Vodacom seems pretty good out in the remote areas with data.

Agreed. You need to add at least 1GB data on each and test over a period of at least a week, because one might be great the one day, but not the next.

I second the WISP option. See: https://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showth...-a-WISP-Contact-WAPA-to-find-one-in-your-area

For what it's worth, I think all the networks have pretty decent coverage maps on their websites, so you could just look at that and then select a prepaid sim card from the provider that appears to be the best to save yourself the effort and expense of testing multiple.
