Anyone else having problems with speed atm?

This month is the first month that I'm on broadband advanced, using a B970 and my speeds from the first of the month have been terrible.

 
And ...What connection profile are you using ?
 
I connected using an unrestricted apn with my old device liksys wireless g router, but i can't seem to find where to specify it on the B970.

Do you think thats the problem?

I switched to the b970 about 2 weeks ago and everything worked great on the standard broadband package.

thanks for the help guys

This could be one of the reasons why it could be switching to GPRS.EDGE

I managed to find where to change the profile and set the apn to unrestricted.

Signal strength: Very good(- 72 dBm)
PPP Connection: Auto

hasn't seemed to make difference

P.s I left the dns settings on dynamic. Should i rather specify a pri and sec dns server
 
Can't see how the APN will make a difference to your speed.

No

The profile for changing from 3G only to 3G preferred.

WAN Status

Seems that i am connected at 3g speeds, I'll give it an hour or two to see id the problem sorts itself out.

Thanks for the help guys :)
 
What does a test at speed.vodacom.co.za give you? Do a few in a row and post the results.
 
Doing a few now but they take about 4 minutes each at my current speed.


What number do you want vodacom? my cell?
