Question of the Day: What's the most interesting small town you've visited in South Africa?
Cell C fixed wireless LTE
- Thread starter iPearlK
- Start date
Yes. And it’s allegedly been fixed today but I have no connection at all
I am sorry that I am only getting back to you now.
Yes the issue was fixed, are you still without a connection?
Have you forced the router to use 4G only?

Before I start throwing things around, is there anything I can change/set on my router to make things better? Its the B315s-22 supplied by Afrihost with the Cell C package...
I've had it 2 weeks now and the only time I saw a semi-decent speed was at 5am one morning when speedtest showed a glorious 7Mbps download! Rest of the day, especially evenings I struggle to get 1Mbps. Which makes this pretty much useless for me....

Yes I've tried both Cell C and Afrihost apn.
Signal strength is 100%
Ping is ok, upload speeds are ok'ish, its just download speeds which are horrible - which points to congestion Im pretty sure.
If I send you my details are you able to open a ticket with Cell C? I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place now as I can't use this and I'm expected to pay R999 if I return it (which is a bloody disgrace, considering the product is rubbish and unusable).

Hmmm..... this isn't right. Please send me a PM with your account information and we'll see what we can do to try and sort this out. We might need to do some more troubleshooting to try and figure out what is happening.
With regards to your single, what band are you getting 3G, 4G, ect?

I got your PM and I have answered you! 
Anyone live South Peninsula way, Fish Hoek area...need to ascertain what signal and speeds are before investing in a 6 monther sim only package. It's for a relative.
Coverage map says full coverage but others have said that not always a surety that your speeds or connection is better than pathetic.

I have to say I haven't dealt with any clients having issues out that way. You shouldn't have any issues.
You shouldn't have any issues.
Shouldn't,wouldn't,couldn't...those words are not in my vocabulary when im being asked to sign a 6 month commitment.
Allow a 14 day cool-off and sure, i'll take my luck.
But no...too risky for your shareholders and directors pockets, of that i'm 150% sure.
You marketing/reps really live in another universe.
