Hey Guys/Gals,

Mods can move this thread, if they want it else where. :o

Since I can't get Amobia at my current place of residence, I have started looking for something else to use for online gaming. I don't want to get telkom, since I might not be staying here for much longer. So, I was looking at 3G, which I know isn't the best for online gaming, but don't really have much choice...

Anyway, I tested MTN, VC, CellC, 8ta and iBurst. The VC and 8ta are prepaid sim cards and I used the K3765 modem. All tests was done with a dial up connection, using *99# and the modem was on the same place and position for all tests.

MTN - Been useless since I got here, even on my iPhone

iBurst - Didn't expect much, since coverage is poor here

CellC - Looking good

Vodacom - Not to bad

8ta - My choice :)

For now, I bought the 2GB + 1GB special of 8ta @ R149 (Costs deducted was actually R146 :confused:)

Online games I will be playing is COD BO and MW3.

So far so good. Getting some timeouts to the servers on MW3, but haven't check for optimal position for the modem yet. :)
 
Been doing speedtests the last few days... just gotta find time etc to upload them all.

Ok, so besides someone else (Rudi Dreyer - whoever you are) committing fraud with my ID number at 8ta with 5 different simcards, I eventually got my prepaid 8ta sim with 2+1Gig promo.

Bought myself a Huawei B683 router and I can safely say my 8ta experience just went from great to absolutely excellent! Love it! Well done guys!:D

Speedtest results have never and will never be an indication of gaming performance. Ever.

So far, my gaming experience isn't that bad. Sometimes it does spike a lot, but at least I can play. :)

Post some speed tests? Maybe a before and after one? I see that router is about R2k, so for that price, it must have made a huge difference!
 
Nope, its a mere R1199 at Telkom Direct shops! The speedtest results are more or less the same, however the actual usage experience is completely different. Stable. Faster. Solid. Much, much better!
