Telkom Uncapped LTE Deal - My Trials So Far...

[Speedster]

Managed to smash the 300GB fup cap for the first time this month. Can someone remind what happens now? Looks like I'm restricted to 4mbps, for how much more is that and then what?

You have 50gb @ 4mbps, then it's into kbps till the 1st

2mbps till the 1st

Samshed that limit a long time ago. Sitting at 500gb already. Game downloads and 4k is no joke on this FUP.

Guys, if you're going to ask questions that might draw the attention of a certain telecoms company whose name ends in "kom", rather message the person, e.g. cavedog, privately.

Thank you.

I'm connected to this mini tower in Wierda Park, Centurion. Coverage basically just reaches like maybe 3 streets both ways and the tower is a few meters longer than a street light.

Also seems the towers back haul is capping at ~120Mbps. I connect with a B618 with 4G+ and ran 2 x B315 routers 1 on B40 LTE and other one on B3 LTE and fired up a download on all 3 routers and 3 different simcards and the total adding up the speeds totaled like 120Mbps so the tower can't go more than 120Mbps probably the reason the Tx power is reduced on this tower because the coverage does not extend very far and probably also the reason I'm getting great speeds because no one is using it and Openserve fibre all around.

Very nice tower though but even with 4G+ normal LTE can also max the tower. As soon as I fire up more downloads on different routers you can actually see the speeds slow down giving each router basically equal speeds like I can get 100Mbps on my B618 but as soon as I start a download on the B315 or run a speedtest on my phone the B618 speeds start to drop so back haul is because the tower is running 4G+ and LTE b40 and B3 so it should be able to push more.

Awww well the tower is really really nice actually low ping 24/7 making my gaming experience really nice. Not really missing my fibre from the previous apartment actually.

How is the uncapped treating you guys?

I suppose it's still better than the only other alternative at his time- 4mbps adsl.

Argh

Speeds are unusable right now. What's the number of the helpline again?

Ping has been around 60ms lately. Usually was around 16ms

Same server as usual?

Did some speedtests now and browser on laptop is choosing Bloem and PE, while app (on phone) is still picking up Durban.
Durban - 15ms ping.
Others - 50-60ms ping.

This was my speeds to the server. No my ping is 60ms anytime of the day. Same tower different ping

Wow that upload, wish I had even a third of that

Yip my uploads have always been 20mb up and downloads avg 30mb to 20mb but the ping is now the problem

 

[SykomantiS]

Only time I see uploads that high is when I'm on the 1800MHz band.

^ same here, but download then suffers. So I normally just stick to 2300mhz

Hi guys, quick question does the Telkom B618 65d variant work on Rain 4G? Even for plain LTE if not LTE-A

 

[minkukel]

Yes it does.

 

[kianm]

Yes it does.

Thanks. Does it do actual LTE-A as well there?
