Hello bro. im using a HUAWEI B683 router, but my problem is that, the item is always not stable, on-off line, besides, the WIFI signal is also weak for the pinter not far away from the gateway, is there any problem with the b683 router, or i get the fake product? i am going to pick an antenna try to solve it, is the WIFI antenna i'll pick or the 3G antenna? thanks.

How can anyone get work done when 8ta's network is performing like this?



To be fair, 4MB ADSL is just as slow, so it must be congestion at the exchange again (still) because both connections are being routed through the same one.

8ta's working great for me today. 45ms ping. On CellC 7.2mbps modem so the modem is likely limiting my speeds. Hope this lasts :)

What are the 8ta speeds I should expect in Centurion, especially the Wierdapark/Eldoraigne area?

I am currently getting poor results compared to my CellC:

8ta: down: 1mbps up: 0.1mbps
CellC: down: 6mbps up: 3mbps

How come 8ta is so slow in this area?

Bought a 5m USB extension to relocate my dongle, now sitting between -71 and -77dBm RSSI.
