Maybe they are using more bandwidth for TV services and new 3.5G . I know GPRS has been slower lately. We've been left behind;-)

grubs, can you post, pm or mail me some comparative tests between the two APN's, done in quick succession?

I saw something similar last week but it was (supposed to be) fixed.

Using HSDPA in Pretoria Sunnyside (Walker Street 1) and was slow all day yesterday until early hours of today. So not just 3G and GPRS! Pretoria targeted again it seems RPM!

Can you guys please confirm that it's still slow or not?

Apparently something was fixed (awaiting exact details) a hour or two ago.

Maybe post a speed test or two?

It took me 30 minutes to get to this page !!!!!

At about 7h20 this morning my 3G connection was shot just behind the neck. Tried GPRS. Also dead. Started showing life again 60 minutes later. Now I am getting a few bytes per second. Trying to update about 20kbytes of HTML on my website, but the FTP transfer keeps on timing out.

Someone broke something again.

GPRS, Sasolburg-2:

Below is the data used to calculate your download speed:

Download time: 116.227 seconds
Size of file: 500 KiloBytes
Estimated line speed: 35.1 (kilobits/second)
Estimated line speed: 4.3 (kiloBytes/second)

GPRS was down this morning earlier, but seems stable now!

It's working better now than it did last night.

Download time: 15.531 seconds
Size of file: 500 KiloBytes
Estimated line speed: 262.7 (kilobits/second)
Estimated line speed: 32.2 (kiloBytes/second)

But still it's not what it used to be.
