At least your ping improved

Definitely not too shabby but that's a huge drop from what you had. My first guess would be increase in demand, as many LTE devices are hitting the market, especially in Gallo Manor which is a "high income" area and probably has many individuals and businesses running LTE devices.

In my opinion it depends on demand and time of day....

Here is one from this morning while everyone is on their way to work

That's better than a kick in the b@lls, I'd say

I think our tower is definitely congested. I get four bars LTE signal and at some times it's great but especially in the evenings I get frequent disconnections, horrible pings and a lot of packet loss. Mostly it's fine though.

That is pretty bleak
I know it may sound silly, but have you tried forcing the device to 3G to see if the performance betters? The overall throughput won't be as high as LTE but it may stabilise the connection.

I know MTN have the escalation, but have you considered purchasing an external antenna?

I have one. Also almost full signal. During the earlier day it looks like this :

So the problem is 100% tower congestion from 17:00 till 23:00
