noswal, general observation: Why is the first two speedtests made to the Botswana server, and the last one to a Johannesburg server?
I do know that speedtest tries to select the best server, but I always get better speeds to Johannesburg, even if the Botswana server should be the "better" one.
 
Speedtest results:

This is about as good as I get these days, the ping is usually a bit lower. It can go down to about 130ms with dl of 0.3 and upload of about 0.1... Sometimes, if I'm lucky...

Not yet, but it hasn't always been this bad. There's a shop near me that sells antennae, gonna go check if they're open tomorrow morning, otherwise I'll go next Monday. Enough is enough.

It helps ALOT, I used to get 80% signal with 1-2% frame error then Dec/Jan happened and it dropped to max 60% signal and 5-20% percent frame errors, mounted the antenna and now on 100% with under 1% frame error

If the load on the Johannesburg server is high then the latency on the Botswana server comes into play and appears better.

I think MyBB has a discriminatory bug against putting iBurst in the stats?
