Not sure if you sent a PM to Afriman yet. Does the SIM say LTE on it? Please send me a PM.

Let's hope the coverage guys can figure this out. Definitely does not seem to be a general issue. Seems like your SIM was fine, but we should maybe do some tests on that as well - sim in another device or another SIM in your device.
I already popped a Vodacom SIM in the iPad 4 and it picked up 4G immediately. So device is not the problem. I will try it in my S3 LTE tomorrow and let u know.
Still waiting on feedback from coverage report.
Please PM me and give me the coverage reference so I can escalate it for you
Will send now. I also tried this Afrihost sim in another 4g device and no luck.

Canceled my 3G account with Afriihost, applied for ADSL, installing on Wed.... Sick of 3G connection that never works
That's no good at
The SIM card you sent me doesn't say LTE on it. Could that be the problem? Why did you send a non-LTE sim in the first place?
They all are the same if I'm not mistaken, Afrihost just need to provision it for LTE on their systems

Sim needs to be 128k sim. If they sent a 64k Sim, it won't work. The other MTN Sims I have seen that are LTE enabled state on the sim LTE.
Yes, as far as I know the SIM must be 128k to get LTE.. However, some of the sims don't have the LTE logo on it. What you could do is pop into an MTN store and ask them to check if the sim is 128k
If it is isn't, let's sort you out with a replacement ASAP
Our initial pre-order SIMS were not LTE, but as far as I know everything thereafter should be. Check my last post and let's see if we can find out if there's been a mixup
Sorry to hear that 3G didn't work for you. I think it's still worth having for mobile connectivity. Going down to the cape soonish, so I'm going to be using my MiFi extensivly. Hope the mountain doesn't block the signal

Well it runs on MTN so even a fart will block the signal IME

Mtn have confirmed its not a 128k SIM. Solved your problem for you.
Please arrange the correct SIM.
Whats up with Afrihost/Mtn over the past weekend getting edge only connection, but its so slow trying to open google the webpage times out after a minute or so, unable to use my data at the moment That being said over the past 2 months I've never had problems like this, always had 3-4mb/s on a speedtest, anyone else having this problem?

Sounds like you had proper 3G before and now maybe 2G service is giving a "stronger" signal. Maybe experiment with 3G only service, to see if there is still 3G signal available in your area
It's not always the case, I'm toldm, but you can be sure that if the SIM has the LTE logo, it is a 128k LTE capable SIM
