Cell C Speed Test Results



Also a bit inconsistent though. On the 30th I had some bandwidth to burn so downloaded a torrent at average 750KB/s for a 700MB file so was done in 18min. The night before that it was practically dead even though connected to HSPA+/WCDMA. Was slow just now til I reconnected.

9.5Mbps ? Where are you located?
 
After getting fantastic speeds yesterday and this morning, I lost the 3g signal around 14:30 this afternoon. Still struggling along on that dreaded EDGE!! :(

Trying to get hold of the call centre is a joke!!

can do better though

for now it is acceptable enough.

Having started first with a 2400bps modem, then a 14.4, then a 33.6... then 128k isdn, then 512k adsl and now this... :D

Mine's also inconsistent though... but it works.
 
Can somebody also tell me why speedtest.net picks up that I'm in Durban/Cape Town when doing the speed test whilst I'm in Gauteng? :D

Just weird.

With Afrihost it's more accurate.
 
What is acceptable RSSI values?

Mine is -79dBm

Mine is -83dBm so less signal, but i guess less load on the tower than you.
When my RSSI was in the -90 dBm range i couldn't get over 3Mb/s so i reckon anything under -90 dBm seems to make a big differrance.
I can usually get higher 7's on the download side now but have antenna. Also did distance check today & are only 1.6km from the tower & needed an antenna as without it i was in the 100+ range & unable to even get it to log on.
