PMBurg is any one else have issues with telkom LTE. Been upland down since lunchtime yesterday.

It will connect with decent throughput only to disconnect a few min later and then reconnect a few mins after that again.

Cheers
 
Not just LTE. ADSL is doing the same thing. The lines doesn't lose sync, but the authentication side of things disconnects and reconnects constantly.
 
Telkom Fixed LTE is a phuck up, through and through... There's MANY threads and people complaining about it but Telkom couldn't really care less and is taking zero to no measures what so ever to rectify it. Get used to it as it's not changing soon. People have had issues for over a year now (while still paying their monthly contract fee's) and are no closer in any way to being better off. If anything, it's actually got worse as more subscribers come on board.

My parents got Telkom LTE and are without a doubt, worse off than when they had their 2Mb ADSL line. They can't stream shiz and can barely load web pages with a lot of images etc on them. It's a complete disaster
 
My dsl is up and down . My telkom lte keeps losing connection. My rain and Vodacom sim are also going offline occasionally, place is messed up since yesterday

If your login sessions constantly time out / expire it may be due to your IP constantly changing when using Telkom LTE, you can try adding a custom profile to your router and set it to use the APN called "unrestricted" instead of "internet" and it should stop your IP from changing every 2 minutes and keep you logged in for longer, not 100% sure if this fix still works but worth a try :) This was discussed a while back here: https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/telkom-lte-constantly-changing-public-ip-addresses.952265/
 
I use that apn by default and this issue still persists

Indeed! Worst part is that my parents moved house and weren't able to get Fibre yet. There was also no LOS from WISP's so I suggested they got the Telkom Uncapped LTE package and now they can barely use the internet. My younger brother can't game without pings of over 1000ms, they can't watch Netflix or DSTV Now without constant buffer issues, my step father can't do his job (He is a freelancer from home)... Highly disappointed and quite frankly pissed off with this Telkom LTE crap... They are also locked into a 24month contract with it and now they have fibre in their area... Proper phuck up all together really :mad:

EDIT: This is all with 4/5 bars of 4G signal, just by the way...
 
The same is happening in Richmond KZN (40km from PMB)
Router cycles from 'No Service' RED LED, to full signal, every 5 to 10 minutes.
Scanning on my phone, Telkom does not show up on the list when the router goes RED.
We only have 1 Telkom Mobile High Site which covers the CBD.
