Cell C LTE tested

This is how Cell C’s new LTE network performs.

 

[Wall]

Cell C provided us with a ZTE Blade V6 and a SIM with 10GB of data with which to test its network. We used almost 4GB of data in the speed tests alone.

4GB of speed tests :wtf:

how many did you guys do?

Can't wait for LTE to be launched in Cape Town...

When I noticed LTE on my Sony Z3 I ran the speedtest app ... it used over 50 MB!

Woah, fark me, absolutely insane!! they need to zero rate those data costs IMO.

So basically you achieved the expected speeds of an empty LTE network with 5Mhz of bandwidth. Moot.

Contributed towards upload and download speed. I no longer run speedtest unless I have to check the network. Guys making use of lte-a will tell you how much data depletes fast

This.

What will happen with a million users on it? Reminds when same network launched 3G and won every MyBB award for speed as well.

Ookla automatically adjusts file size based on network speed.

Why no torrent benchmark?

I'm leaving, going to try mtn since they have range extenders in our office, cell c often no signal at all...
