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

[ripclaw]

And my LTE just died...

Westville, Durban, still up and streaming in HD.

Not sure what's going on but this is what I see. 3G has signal but the router refuses to connect either way.

How sure are you it has signal?

Have you tried removing / reinserting sim card?

Anyone looking to offload their LTE Uncapped package / Transfer it? I have a mate looking to take over one. Please PM me

I managed to sort it out. Restarting several times via the web interface did absolutely nothing, but physically switching it off did the trick (didn't remove the wall plug so there was still power the whole time though).

This works more often than not. Also, if you can force your LTE router to stay in 4G 2300Hz, that's a plus. The downside is that to run any USSD codes, you'll need to drop down to 3G.

It was forced to 2300MHz, switching to 1800MHz and even 3G did nothing.

Interesting. Now I'm wondering if this might have been a wider fault in your area instead of being an isolated incident.

yip - we have had 3 situations where this happened. LTE "dies" and you simply cannot use 3g - the lights show full signal but it stays disconnected....These "cheap" high volume "fixed-LTE" products are really catching people out .

Our Telkom Double Data LTE can fall back to 3g - no probs. However the Uncapped LTE is not the same. Real shame! Doesn't work jack on 3g

Anyone suffering with increased latency? Looks like northern ipc link....

Ah okay - no idea - I use Chrome on my phone as well, when not using my laptop.

The evenings have been horrible in PE for the last week or so

it looks like Telkoms backbone between CT and JNB is saturated (PE seems to go via CT to JNB)
If I VPN to a server in CT everything flies like normal

pings to 1.1.1.1 (CT) about 45ms
pings to 8.8.8.8 (JNB) about 125ms with about 12% packet loss

Uncapped LTE speed sitting below 1mb and I’m not even capped yet. For shame for shame

Some sort of LTE issue.

Internet not working, but VPN to Paris for torrent works fine. Browsing to websites with same VPN also works.

Trying to connect to Jhb with VPN does not connect.

Without any VPN, only torrent was working (though very slow).
