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

[Wasp_21]

Sweet, just fetched it now.

Now the wait for RICA

Don't phone the 081180 number they tell you to if not activated after 24hrs. After an hour last night they answered and the lady said they cannot activate from this number, although it tells you too. You still have to phone 10213 if not active after 24hrs.

So has anyone here been "spoken too", notified or even capped for using excessive bandwidth? I have a buddy that is looking to join this, and he wants to know. This is now for the folks that have been using the service for awhile even if some subterfuge was used in downloading said contraband

Settings, Virtual Server (port forward settings) and then DMZ for the IP.

Easy as that to get open NAT? Wow! thanks bud
What if the IP changes? Router restart for example and my PC ends up on the IP I specified. That can't be good. Or do I need to create static IPs? Sorry noob questions I know...

That's where you will put your XBOX IP in the DMZ section. You shouldn't have conflicting IP's on your network.

On the Telkom "uncapped" LTE package.. looking for a way to check my Data usage esp P2P data.
Can Log in to https://apps.telkom.co.za, but not a lot of info on there concerning my data usage.. is there somewhere else I can find this info or an App i can download?.... Why they making it so difficult ?

Log into the router and select the SMS option. Send "Bal" to 188. Then they SMS you your total usage for the month and your FUP usage.

Phoned Courier It and they said they would drop Telkom an email to activate it immediately as delivery was done yesterday so hopefully will be up and running soon.

Well been activated. One needs to harass the courier to upload docs and scan waybill on their system to speed up RICA process. Now to get home after work and test!

Get that external installed ASAP. Would be interesting to see what improvements.

Just something worth noting, on occasion my solid 5 bar line will revert to 2 bar. Going into antenna settings and toggling between built-in and antenna 1 & 2, has, on a number of occasions, reverted the line back to 5 bar and the corresponding performance.

Maybe someone with a better understanding of the dynamics at play here can explain it.

I nagged them straight after I picked up from their warehouse. Then escalated to a manager to activate the sim. All done within an hour or so

My opinion, every internet deal currently available in this country pales into insignificance in comparison. I am 2 weeks in and save for two glitchy evenings between 8-9, the experience has been nothing short of amazing.

Streaming HD netflix and currently experiencing a lightning storm and only using the attached ice-cream paddle antenna:



EDIT: for once I am actually very happy to be locked into a 2 year contract...

We have two TV's constantly on Netflix in Full HD and does not buffer or impact normal browsing. Mommy and Kids are happy therefor I would pay 3 times as much if I had to. Plus uncapped. Had 40 Meg VDSL plus 200Gig replaced by this. Will downgrade the line to 4 Meg for torrentz if needed.
