Telkom Mobile 3G/HSDPA Speedtest Results

[Cyclone101]

Yes, on the "promotion 5" deal running the E1820 modem directly through my netgear router. That test was done via wifi.

I have even seen pings in the high 20's but could not break the 10mbps barrier yet
I live in pta east if that makes a difference.

Regards
Jacques

EDIT: Just cracked 10!!

Best yet so far:

I contacted 8ta, and they sent a technician out to my house on Tuesday. Lets see if anything is done...

Did both just now.

If I cancelled my contract early, what kind of penalties will there be?

I was once where you are for a whole year!!! Was loving 8ta!!

Now for the passed month im getting this

Test Date: Sep 7, 2012 9:49 PM Connection Type: HSDPA Server: Johannesburg Download: 0.70 Mbps Upload: 0.27 Mbps Ping: 785 ms

Only happens weekdays from 7pm and the whole day on weekends.
Can only be congestion from poor structure or incompitence. I now hate 8ta...

Never felt so robbed in my life!!
I think 8ta has to realise that it has to stop this promotion to keep their current customers happy...

i have a mtn 3g 24month contract.
use to work fine, but the last month my signal strenght sucks.
so i bought a 8ta simcard, and R150 airtime, poped the simcard into my mtn dongle, converted the airtime to data, and it works perfectly.
where i live the 8ta signal is alot better than the mtn.
