Does anybody know how to test above modem. To see if modem is busy dying. :D Still under warranty.

It started of acting very strangely 2 to 3 Bars showing on modem. This is even with or without external antenna (Poynting).

This morning i disconnected antenna and it still only shows two bars on modem.
The other modem I have Shows 3 Bars without any external antenna (Poynting). This is always the default bars showing when being used.

1) If i do a Self Test all shows ok.
2) RSSI 68
3) RSRP 96 Diffrence between 96-68 should be 25. Higher
4) RSRQ 9 Is very high normally 6

I have another modem at home still new.Will give this one a bash tonight. See if results do improve.

Symptoms are more frequent currently.

Do a factory reset.. or load the new or old firmware again..

also do speed test using all your modems and check the speeds.. if the B593 is much slower.. could be software.. if reset dont work then def hardware.

It seems there is problems with my tower.
I took out my spare modem new and it is doing the same.

Phoned Telkom they are investigating. Anybody knows where to complain. On ADSL used to be TelkomSA.

Best place to complain will be on twitter or Facebook.. Telkom rep seems to have been fired from Mybb

Log it through those channels and telkom faults

Done that waiting for reply. If Jitter to England becomes 187ms you know you have problems. Upload 3Mbps and same for download.

This is worse condition.It use do be ok till they launched a tower close to me. For uncapped usage.

See attached pic. What it was like.
