Telkom 1TB Feedback Thread

@netstrider which router did you use previously.. Im currently using a huwei b525 and would definitely buy a b818 if speed improves by 20mb or so
Only have a ZTE Mifi router which is locked to MTN. At the office we have a B618 which has pretty much identical performance to the B818 currently.
 
can you please send the details?
Disable the data connection in your router then go to Connection profile settings and create a new APN.

APN: unrestricted
no username or password.

Save the profile and then you can set it to default. Enable data connection and it will be using the unrestricted APN.

You can usually verify by checking your global IP.
 
Damn you lucky mine dropped to 20mb from around 50mb at around 7 just like yesterday most likely it will be back up to 50mb after 9pm...the tower you connect to must not be congested at all.
 
Mine was running high 70s to between 40-50 during peak, now im craving that b818
 
Hi Guys, i got this as a backup connection to FF Fibre, so how do I activate the sim when i get it next week ? Or is it automatic when i stick it into a device ?

Thanks

Should be automatic, however if not activated within 48 hours excluding weekends give them a call or speak to them on live chat to help.
 
Just did another test and played with the bands. Decided to put it back on Auto as 1800Mhz on its own and 2300Mhz on its own has worse performance.

When using Huawei Manager or whatever the App is called and I run a speedtest I can see it changes between bands during a speedtest.

Taking sea the results are good. I only take sea after 00:10 to be fair to those around me on LTE.

Getting between 2MiBs and 8MiBs, while 5MiBs seems to be the average for this specific target.

Finally got this activated on Saturday.

Unfortunately less than impressed at this stage. Only seems to come into its own close to midnight. The ping is erratic and too unstable to play CS:GO on from 8 - 10 pm. I have locked it to TDD40 which seems to give the best performance.
