I was just wondering what the average iBurst speed one is getting in this area? Currently I am getting 48kbps max download.

I checked the area and all is within parameters and I posted in the speed tests thread.

I replied to that thread. I pm'ed you my exact gps locations but your tests were done elsewhere. I cannot use these speeds, I am seriously considering going with either CellC or 8ta.

Please check in the FAQs on how to optimize the signal. I tested in the streets at Lonehill and the speed were ok.
 
I'm in Broadacres down Cedar. Signal comes in at 100%, speeds often up to 200KB on the 2MB modem, but packet loss and latency sucks. It varies greatly when doing ping tests or playing online. Sometimes I hover around 50ms to local iGame servers for BF3, but then it spikes to over 200ms every now and then. Makes it pretty unreliable when it comes to streaming or gaming :(

Ping requests are hillarious, one entry would come back with 47-63ms, the next would be over 150-200ms...

I have an omni antenna (donkiepiel) hiding in the closet, need the 2MB splitter. Would this actually help my situation?

How would I check the base station Im connecting to for saturation? I see multiple antenna's in my area pointing to the dainfern tower, despite the Fourways life tower being just up the road.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Regards
 
I think it might be saturated because I sometimes get good speeds at night without the antenna.

If you are using the 2MB modem if you go the modems IP via http (There is a post on how to configure it http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/344079 )

The Aligned BSCC Number is the tower number. the Eyeburst app (http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/48889) has the details of which number corresponds to which tower location (not sure how up to date it is but the original towers are correct.
