CellC speedtest results

Here is mine:

The signal strength according to the dashboard is 100. Using 6to4 because we have not yet been offered IPV6 on the network yet according to my knowledge. This is often one of the most optimum results that I get by using Speedtest.net.

Not too bad, best ever was 12 to 14 a while ago.

Still hoping to break that 1Mbps mark someday. Using my blackberry bold 9900 with full hsdpa signal. Poor is the very least I can say. Looks like 8ta's 8Mbps connection I'm getting is the way forward......

I heard from a friend of mine that Cell C has theE fastest network, Is it true? and why is the BIS of Cell C or Data Services disconnecting all the time? "Just a question" Too little of the stations around or what?

 

[IceQB]

Being the best network is not quite true imo...
Down to personal preference, although they are very good at times.
Regarding BIS I doubt it would be a tower issue.
I would lay the blame on the BIS abusers downloading like there is no tomorrow causing congestion maybe on towers around you.
