[CrazyBob]

basically doesn't work, can't voice Skype/Viber or nothing (nevermind video call), what's up MTN?

Speedtest.net results:
1.53mpbs down
0.06mpbs up

Something's clearly not right with that upload speed...

Pretty shocking download speed for you...

No MTN reps around? I'm hearing people in Mahikeng don't bother with MTN since it's **** there - they all on Vodacom. Nice one MTN.

As you go closer to the Lichtenburg CBD you'll see your speed increase to 10+ Mbps that tower is located on top of the Multi Antennae building / Telkom Exchange in the middle of town.

I have no idea where any of that is (it's my g/f that's there on business). Bought her one of those Afrihost mobile deals that works off MTN, but it's practically useless there :/
