Just got LTE activated in the last 24 hours on my new Afrihost SIM and Huawei E5372.

This is the sort of latency I'm getting on 4G:

Notice a pattern? It's constantly going high-low-high-low. What is up with that?

I'm also detecting moments of non-responsiveness when browsing to sudden surges of fast loading to non-responsiveness again.

I am in the Lonehill area - specifically where Lonehill and Beverley meet.

Is there some sort of issue? Afrihost website says mobile status is all good.
