Been suffering terrible speeds in CT. I sent an email to social@8ta.com and was contacted within 30 min by phone, very impressive. Technician came over the next day and determined that my E173 modem was still roaming. Switched over to select 8ta network only and speeds seemed to improve but quickly went back to what they have been.. terrible! Local pings are all around 40ms but down speeds even with HSPA indicated are almost always below 1.0 Mbps I am in Kenilworth Cape Town. Technicians admit that my tower at KC is very congested.. with performance like this I think users should be allowed out of the 2 yr contract
