Just wanna know.... Is there any area in Port Elizabeth with Telkom LTE coverage? Telkom's website shows LTE coverage and I live in the covered area, have the LTE modem, but no speed faster than 7mbps. I logged a complain with Telkom, but stil no positive answer.

There is Telkom LTE in Port Elizabeth. Check if you fall under the coverage using their coverage map.

Sorry about that MickeyD.

Yes, according to Telkom's website map I fall well inside their LTE coverage area. I have the Huawei B593 LTE Router and it shows I'm connected to 4G, but my little D-link Telkom Mobile usb modem runs at the same speed. A test on the router indicates no problem with a 4 out of 5 signal strength. I have even inserted a Vodacom sim card into the router and got just over 20mbps, but nothing faster than 7mbps on Telkom mobile.

I just want to say thank you for the excellent service that I have received from Telkom's technical team, especially Mr. Elton Jacobs. He was faced with the task of getting the signal up to spec. He did an excellent job and when he left yesterday afternoon, my LTE modem was giving me 52MB/s. Now I'm a happy Telkom LTE customer.
