Same place where my TS server is hosted and counterstrike also war3.co.za run from.
What happens if you ping one of these servers from the command prompt?
Maybe PingTest is just giving you bad results.

Inserting for some reason when I run pingtest.net. My Dashboard shows its using WCDMA mtn but if I ping via cmd it goes over to HSPA then I get a good ping

Interesting. Maybe PingTest doesn't generate enough traffic to kick your connection up to HSPA.
