Recent 3G card issues

Is anyone else also having issues with their 3G usb modem?

I have to refresh each site I visit a few times to get a decent load.

This is only recently.. and I have full 3G signal

Full signal doesn't mean anything.


Click Start -> Run -> type in CMD
*black dos window will popup*


Type in the Dos-box : ping karoo.mweb.co.za -t

Reason you have to refresh your sites, is cause they ping timedout.

Now check your pings to karoo.mweb.co.za (thats a gaming server, and is always spot-on)

While its pinging about, move your modem around to different spots, closer to a window, 1meter to the left, or right, etc..etc (put it in one spot for 5seconds and check the pings, then move it to another spot etc.etc)

low pings = Good quality signal, and good signal strength.

(u can have full signal strength, but have poor quality signal and have huge pings hence the timeouts)..

If you've got a laptop, move around the house to check where the pings stays the lowest.

The other option is to get a external antenna that points to a Vodacom Tower :>>>

Hope it Helps

before you change ALL your hardware and buy new equipment etc etc..... rather change network - cause it's MTN's fault.... they probably buying cheap bandwidth from a bunch of terrorists in serbia
