Tower upgraded 2 HSPDA

Please look into it MTNDD

My last 5 speedtests all at different times on different days were below 300 k/b second. MTNDD this cannot be normal and must please be investigated.

Good day,

Could you please PM me your details and I'll look into it for you

Oh no!

The warning earlier on refers. See my speedtest below on 4 bars MTN HSDPA:

Download time: 44.485 seconds
Size of file: 500 KiloBytes
Estimated line speed: 91.7 (kilobits/second)
Estimated line speed: 11.2 (kiloBytes/second)

I hope that MTN is working.
 
Take that. Beat you Highveld!

You better hope it is good news.
Since people started using HSDPA in highveld Technopark the speed dropped to 10KBytes/s

Good day,

Could you please check now and let me know if you're still recieving a problem as there were some problems yesterday, please let me know if there's still a problem

Thanks MTNDD
 
I am often working in Doringkloof (between Lyttelton and the N1), and if I am lucky I get 40kb/s. And that is with an antenna!

Just had a look at the street map, and it assures me I am covered for HSDPA. I have a green light on the data card - think it means HSDPA?? :(

It does mean HSDPA, What means are you using to check your speed

Are you using something like http://212.19.68.252/speed.html

Also is this problem that you've always had or something new?

Mmmmmm.. I did the test, and I get impressive-looking figures averaging around 500kB/s. But downloading a file (5MB) from ftp.is.co.za runs at just over 26kB/s sustained. A file smaller than 1MB downloaded at 60kB/s.

Is this typical? I download large volumes of data (Google Earth) sometimes, so any improvement is welcomed!

Cheers

That's strange,

500kB's is a good speed but if you only getting 26Kb/s then that's not typical nor good, cause 60kb's is typically 3G speeds which isn't great for HSDPA

Can I ask you a favor - can you please PM me with your cell phone number, the area's you experiance the problems in and the speeds and I'll escalate this to our 3G engineers so they can invetigate

Credit where credit is due

MTN DD. I do not know what you did but it worked! Download now 1 Mb/s and upload now 200 kb/s - that is more like it and definitely now broadband. Please keep it up and plug in a surplus backend links to the MTN towers.
