Signal/Speed dropped

[ekkesa]

Hi,

Before 22-10-2006 I had signal above 90% averaging on about 92%. And on the download tests I tested with an average of 900kbps.

I'm connecting to the Sunnypark tower with an directional atenna.

Is anyone else experiencing issues like this?

The only issue you have described is getting 90%-92% signal and 900kbps.

That should be a

But I suspect you have left half your story out...

Hi,

The issue is that it was 90-92% but dropped to 30%.

With regard to the backhaul failure. It cant be resolved because I'm still experiencing bad signal.

What's a critical backhaul failure?

I had a drop in signal once and discovered that my antenna's pigtail connector had worked loose.

Hi,
If I disconnect the atenna I have 0% signal.. I check my whole infrastructure and everything is still in place.

Ed from IBUrst mailed me back... I was quite suprised... and he is sending a techie to troubleshoot the problem.

Strange, as I seem to have the same problem. Mine is not as bad as yours seem to be. I averaged at about 90% before that HUGE pta outage and after it, I seem to be getting Max 70%. The load on my tower also increased quite a bit.

Lucky for me the Moreleta Park tower is being launched in a few days, my signal should then be restored. 3 Cheers for IBurst!

I'll keep you guys posted on this after the techie came to have a look...

Something's definitely up. My signal has remained constant (connecting to the Centurion tower), but my speed has dropped from around 900kb/s to 350kb/s over the last 2 days ...
