Because Telkom sucks?

Which apps are problematic?

I can't think of a single one my Telkom LTE doesn't work with, be it on Android or laptop.

EDIT - very occasionally, Telkom data usage apps show an error, but it's probably something going on in the background, so resolved quickly enough.

Might not be down, but that tower isn't working on it's own.

Sometimes my Telkom LTE just hangs and i need to toggle airplane mode to get it working again. No clue why. It seems to have gotten better recently but that might just be because my Uni Res installed wifi afew months ago and I am less reliant on Telkom.

Things I have done to get it working again

Using a band selector tool, Disabling the 2300Mhz (B40) seems to improve reliability and battery life
Forcing the phone off of Band 3 and Band 40 forces it to roam, you may need to experiment with what bands to block as new spectrum is set up.
