Afrihost Mobile Speed Test

[NeonNinja]

Try with cable and MDMA.

 

[IceQB]

Have it plugged in via usb.
Cannot change Network Mode.

 

[IceQB]

Thats with E1820 using MDMA, signal -79dBm

Mifi not picking up too well - keeps jumping to EDGE now & then, or maybe i should find way to force 3G

Well, I'm saying disconnect Afrihost app and MDMA it and change to 3G only.

 

[IceQB]

Ah had to dig out an older version of MDMA, worked.
Get signal of -85dBm and same speeds as with E1820.
Good enough for now, will look at some antenna mods tomorrow.

Nice speeds you guys getting.

Specifically picked a far away server

Most of the time I have decent download, but all the time I have terrible upload.

This connection works well for the occasional online game, however when the upload gets even worse it is impossible,
Something we can do about it?

 

[Toitjie]

double post..

 

[Seriously]

I actually attempted gaming via a PS3 yesterday using my MiFi. Never in my life would've I expected to have a better experience than with my prior 4M ADSL Mweb premium account.

No choppy lag most of the time
I were not last to fill up with ammo any-more with up to three guys getting to fill up before me even tho I was at the box first
Request to fill with ammo was mostly instant and did not time out frequently anymore
I could swing around fast and kill my attacker before I died.
Fewer bullets killed my opponent effectively
I did not still die after killing my opponent first.

All to do with lag.

PS: all done with a low 3G signal



Nice Afrihost

Easily done in settings!

Under Dial-up> mobile connection select manual
Under Dial-up> Network settings change from auto to 3G only
Under Dial-up> mobile connection change back to auto

Thats all. Enjoy
