Hi i am from atlantis i am getting HSPA signal but my maximum download speed is only 90kbps i have 3 pc's in my home every pc with a Cell C 7.2mbps HSPA modem if i connect all 3 modems it divides the 90kbps to all 3 pc's so i get 30kbps on all 3 pc's which is very slow please try to correct this problem thanks

do a speedtest first (speedtest.net). if ur speeds are below 1mbps, get cell c on the line and report the problem. do not end the call without receiving a reference number.

also, the signal might not be strong enough. have a look at that as well.

What is signal strenght in your location? if something less than 5 bars, signal is low.
1. Download MDMA, check signal strenght. If it is lower than -85dBm, I would opt for external directional antenna.
2. For 3 PC's consider 3G router. Chose router without modem , so you can use one of your modems. Now all users can share benefits of external antenna an cheaper (per MB) package.

why does your bandwidth divide when you have 3 separate modems?
Are the pcs connected with each other?

Good Day badboyshakeel

If you have three individual modem with there own sim, the speed sould not get divided into 3,
Yes strength my go down slightly. Please can you PM me you address will check the coverage of your area.
As if you are in a good area all three modems should get good speeds, and vice versea.

What does that mean? You have a modem for every pc or 1 for every pc's
Did you set the connection manager on UMTS only?
