Afrihost Mobile Speed Test

[Azimuth]

Sorry to hear that man. I will give them more time to resolve this. Afrihost is still the best value mobile data provider IMHO. Obviously we want LTE. I can confirm this morning I still have no data connection on LTE, only 3G. This is for me phone only! My B593u-12 with Afrihost SIM is working 100% on LTE.

As at 9:32 LTE on the Afrihost APN is working again.

Yowza! Location and distance from the tower?

Breathtaking....

Yeah MTN LTE wow its freaking awesome.

These two are from Rosendal, Bellville in Cape Town. The faster one is on the normal mymtn APN, the slower one on the Afrihost APN. Still, not exactly slow.

Oudtshoorn. Better than I expected!

Coming from CellC this is a massive improvement

 

[Defirence680]

Not that bad.

Sonstraal Heights, Durbanville, 5 bars most of the time.

Why no LTE?

Trying to flatten my last few gigs. So I've popped my Afrihost SIM into my spare B593 and dropped it into the network. Using internal antennas and getting 4 bars signal.

Some nice LTE speedtest after my LTE finally got fixed.... :-D Was worth the fight...

 

[Azimuth]

I wonder what determines the uploads to be capped at 7Mbps on some towers and then unrestricted on others?

Now with an XPOL-0002 directional antenna:

Afrihost, please bring us a 100GB package! Then I can stop using my other LTE provider.

Full Signal on MTN 2G

Speed seems not so great even with Full Strong (Green) Signal at work in Springs..



Speed is a bit lacking..



2 bar Signal on MTN 3G, getting better.
