"I" have a SIM problem....??? I have nothing of the sort
I think 8ta has a problem with my 8ta SIM or their system is :twisted: confused.
Still no repsonse to the 4 emails I sent to the [email protected]. Logged a complaint on their website yesterday and apart from an automated response nothing (although I did get a misguided sales person trying to sell me a phone contract!!:wtf

Last night, it seems 8.ta was OFFLINE in my area! My modem would not show any signal, or say 8.ta or anything!
Yet, in the network registration manual search, I could see Vodacom, Cell C, and MTN! But where was 8.ta?!

It's getting.....
.....WORSE
ping 409ms, D/L 0.19Mbps, U/L 0.01Mbps, I still have bandwidth left for the month...
What else can I do? Hellopeter?
'Ang on, what bloody server are you using? Gabarone? 1250km? Is there nothing closer?!

Lol like the above post, try find some where closer. I got places from 5km away to test my speeds.

Jeez, I didn't even see that! That's speedtest.net automatic choosing the best server based on ping, why on earth would it think Gaborone is the best server based on ping??????
A little better this morning but not much: http://www.speedtest.net/result/1622641370.png
(At least it's using the Rosebank server!!)

When I first got my 8ta connection and did some speed tests it also defaulted to Gaborone, so your not alone in that
Can't wait to get home and surf! The new month is here!
The one slither of hope is that 8ta managed to fix the issue and I can get back to 600kbs downloads like I have had 2 moths ago.
Will post speedtest results tonight.
*** Please do not stop reporting speeds, be they good or bad. Also remember to state your suburb. ***

@SHiBBY - WTF man! Great speeds and not too far from me... 
My 8ta speeds:
Rosebank
Server with best ping #1
Server with best ping #2
Johannesburg
Cape Town
Too slow to even run a test without.... whatever.
Gonna send that mail - if things do not improve 8ta can go $@&^ themselves.

Dude, I must admit I'm not getting these speeds on my old modem... I upgraded to something that supports DC-HSPA+ and running new firmware and Mobile Partner. Since I'm using my E372 my ping is awesome! Used to be 110-140 on my E220.
Don't know if that alone made the difference!

I just hope it isn't a modem problem!
I got my E173 for free at work and really really do not want to buy a new (and expensive modem).
I see the E372 sells for about U$254 - where did you buy yours and for how much?
