Loving my 8ta

I have been using the 10 gigs for around 3 months now. I love it. Mostly. Sometimes I experience dropped connections and sometimes I experience slower than normal speeds. I average about 1.4MB/s but I know that it is mostly my dongle's location that is at fault. However, it being a dongle, I can hardly move it around much... I am planning on getting the Huawei B683 router soon and I believe it will make a big difference. What is strange to me though is when I place the 10 GB sim into my tab, my speed slows dramatically and the signal becomes extremely jittery... But all in all a great experience!

Thanks for your feedback Digibanks99! It could be some setting on your tab slowing it down seeing that you are using it from the same location?

8ta is awesome so far. Please don't disappoint me when we get to the billing/debit order phases :erm:

Not sure how anybody can still be pleased with 8ta's service. Once again I'm unable to do what I got the contract for because 8ta's network is overloaded. Ridiculous really.
 
I have a question

My 8ta 10Gig promo, goes from 4MBps to 1.1MBPS in a second. Tested it 10 times in a really short span from each other, and it jumps a hell of a lot between 4MBps and 0.9 MBPS....how can I get this constant as I have full signal?
 
With 3g I expect up and down. Are people getting constant speeds? Adsl is most times constant.
 
I had a 1 meg ADSL line with a 10 gig data package that was costing me about R450 a month. Switching over to the 10+10 promo from 8.ta is saving me a good R250 a month. I am an old fogie due to retire soon and that is serious cash.
Being a wireless service the speed varies but overall it is good - I have had no disconnects.
Nothing to complain about!

Hi Speedster

We will be sending a technician to test the streaming and buffering from site. The last technician got readings of about 4MB.

Hi WaBWaWWaD

As akescpt has mentioned - 3G is usuallly not constant. Depends on factors like the number of users on the 3G tower you connect to at the time and what they are up/downloading, your location, the weather etc.
