If I had to give an announcement like that, I'd also do it just before I went home.

Thumbs up on the advanced notice, little more advanced would have been welcome though , but at least you guys are getting the idea.

If it makes my connection work for a change you can turn it off for a week.

Hmmm..

So far so good..looks stable..



If it stays like this all the time..I will be the Happiest Neotel customer..

If only we all could get speeds like that... Last night consistantly got < 300 kbps down and < 20kbps up with latency of > 1s (RSSI 67).

Did a quick check this morning and it seemed to be a lot better, but it could also just be that NO ONE uses the net at 5am - cept apparently me .

Mr Neo rep guy... have optimisations been done in northern pta (annlin/sinoville)?? are there some scheduled?? I've been with Neotel 3 weeks now, the first 2 were glorious with speeds > 1mbps.

According to the coverage map (and some mapping software) i am about 800m from the tower and my RSSI is 67 without an external antenna in a good/excellent coverage zone...

Thanks

@ Pathogen:
The optimisation that took place last night was applied nationally.
However; based on feedback further optimisation maybe required in certain hotspots.

I should have more feedback over the course of this week on the 2nd set of optimisation tasks based on the feedback we receive from customers.
