Mweb: Cell C Lte = BAD for gaming

[Souletc]

Hi Everyone

My current situation: 4Mbps ADSL Uncapped with MWEB (Cannot use for gaming as router goes out of sync). Numerous technicians did house visits to solve the issue with no luck.

So I kept the ADSL for DSTV Explora and household Wifi and decided to get MWEB CellC Lte package with a B618 router for gaming. I mainly play PUBG and other FPS shooters. So the issue I am experiencing with the LTE on weekdays from 7pm - 10pm and weekends is that my in game ping fluctuates from 240ms to 1300ms. This makes FPS shooters unplayable and I would definitely not reccomend MWEB's CellC Lte for anyone who wishes to game.

Just to clarify I have spent numerous days on the phone testing and trying everything MWEB's technicians had in their troubleshooting handbooks until I got informed that MWEB can only log down/upload speed related issues and not ping fluctuation issues such as mine.

So I wish someone had done a post like this to inform me that I would be wasting my money. All I can do now is wait for fibre to be installed in my area FML.

Very Unhappy Customer.

I know what its like having gone through a similar situation; except mine was not with Cell C, It was with Rain! Which was very terrible to say the least, even emailing Rain an going to their Facebook page. Long story short.. Rain is terrible. Mweb were great an switched us to Cell C, I mention this" simply because i will never forget how kind and helpful Mweb were to us - they deserve unparalleled credit. In my experience i have never had any issue such as what you are having in regards to Cell C. What you are going through is unfortunate. I'm not sure why you having these issues, really wish that you can get it sorted out. Just thought i would let everyone know my experience. Cell C has been great and i am happy that we switched to their service, as i use it to play Fortnite and other games ( getting 170 -200 ) ping joining EU servers.
