Anybody got a LTE-A test result with E5186?

I haven't seen any speed test that shows that Telkom has actually LTE-A anywhere.

In Wilro Park/Helderkruin (literally on the border between these suburbs - but I think 70% of my house is in Wilro Park ;P). On the Telkom 10+10GB deal because they aren't offering the SmartMobile promo here yet (Clearly my coverage is good enough for it though ... :/)
Using paddle antennas. My B593-601 did not come with paddle antennas though, so I'm using a pair that I ordered some from Aliexpress. Made a noticable difference to the internal one for sure.
Stats: 5/5 bars (sometimes drops to 3 or 4 bars but no big deal)

1 PLMN: 65502
2 Service status: Valid service
3 RSSI (dBm): -51
4 RSRP (dBm): -76
5 RSRQ (dB): -6
6 Roaming: No

Very pleased with the infrastructure/speeds. Hopefully my area sees some more cost-effective bandwidth deals now :)

Wow, Absolutely awesome bud. Still cant believe the improvment once you hooked up the antenna.
