Was just wondering if anybody here from the Bellville area in Cape Town are also experiencing quite a big drop in LTE speed, which started somewhere early in December? I know it's not my LTE device because I had a buddy come over and test with his device as well.

Same here in Toti, Durban.

Speeds between 2300Mhz and 1800Mhz tower are identical other than uploads.

Where as before 2300Mhz was averaging 60Mbps now 30Mbps. And the speeds are so consistent in half that it feels like its being throttled or shaped.
