How do you check that?

Send a blank sms from the sms tool in your router and you will get 3 sms. If you only get 2 then you know it has been depleted. If you have left it would tell you how much you have used from the 50gb

Torrent speeds are something else on this uncapped LTE if you stay within your 50GB FUP.

I want to go for this LTE-A Uncapped and replace my 4mbps ADSL.
Is the FUP in this article correct?
I stream Netfilx and Youtube so with Streaming for a couple hours a day.Steam game downloads 24-50gig depending on game and the occasional torrent. I probably currently use just under 100gigs. I've hit my FUP on ADSL once or twice.
So Will I survive on LTE Uncapped? Also is gaming latency going to be an issue or is this a case by case thing where i am going to have to find out when the install it


“Effective immediately, customers making use of the LTE Uncapped product will receive an additional 100GB of full speed data per month,” said Telkom’s head of group communication and PR, Jacqui O’Sullivan. “This means that customers would have to use in excess of 300GB of data per month before Telkom’s FUP will be applied.

Only you can decide. Look at your current usage - how many GB's are you going through? Will the 300GB full speed +50GB 4mbps and then balance at 2mbps satisfy your needs?

Added the antenna. Speeds went down. I dunno.

Antenna are not supposed to work like that. check your connections on the antenna.

I guess I am fine with data, I need to try it and see how my BF4 runs.

That's very poor. lower = better.
I suspect once you attached the antenna it connected you to a different tower. Try moving it around until you get +- -70dBm

When you say lower, you mean closer to 0 (for RSRP- what does that mean anyway)?

Mine is sitting at
RSRP: -101dBm
SINR: 5dB

I'm assuming that's bad?

Ja, thats very k@k :p
Its your signal strength, i have no idea what it stands for. I was on the PTA Wug for a long time, it was always a mission because they kick you of the network if its anything above -80dBm, so each night i had to twist and turn the antenna to try to get the best possible connection.

My LTE is currently -72dBm. This is also not that good. It should be in the 60's.

I would say that and RSRP over -100dBm and SINR lower than 5-8dBm is not ideal and your connection would fluctuate and be slowish.

You know that not everyone will have a tower as their neighbour so aiming for less than 70dBm on you RSRP is unrealistic for most people including me.

Being 1.2km from the tower no line of sight I have RSRP of -93dBm and SINR of 25-30dBm and I get speeds well over 80Mbps.

I would say SINR should be better. Signal quality is important for a stable connection and the speed will come if your SINR is good.
