Good Afternoon

So one of our sites falls into the Telkom Uncapped LTE area , http://www.telkom.co.za/today/unlimited-broadband/

What are the speeds like from 06:00AM to 05:00PM ?

The FUP mentions that P2P is full speed from 12am – 6pm seeing as we are a business does that mean everything els is full speed the rest of the time?

Ps We have about 30 users

I replaced our 8MB ADSL with this uncapped LTE in our office. 10 users on PC/laptop's and all 10 have smartphones conncted to the LTE via wifi as well.

This month we used just short of 80GB. Minimum download speed on any given day during office hours is 30mb/s with upload never below 8mb/s

Our premises are across the road from the tower and I DIY'ed the external antenna installation.

Happy as the proverbial pig with this product....

Don't expect business class service. LTE can fail , lucky I have ADSL for back up.

I had 1 morning this month where the router was glowing the correct lights when I walked into the office but there was no throughput.

Turned it off and on again and haven't touched it since...

EDIT: I always have my Afrihost mifi in the car. Worst case scenario I swap sim cards in the Telkom B315 and the office carries on.

Good point , but we can allways get a cheap small 2-4meg adsl as failover :)

Thanks for the feedback, I think its excellent value for money for a small business
