Me thinks I need to find a better position [in the corner of the room]
 
My Telkom 3G was down for about 2 weeks, they couldn't pinpoint the problem, but at last this week it was fixed. Now it seems they have upgraded the tower or something because it is flying faster than before.

I just downloaded a 25.5MB file at about 800KB/s (6.4 mbps)

Here is also a speedtest:


Getting uploads of more than 1mbps now, it was about 600-800 kbps before.
 
Yes. see link and quote below:

MTN is ready to launch its latest wireless broadband network device – an HSPA wireless gateway boasting 7.2 Mbps HSDPA and 2 Mbps HSUPA support.

MTN’s wireless gateway was developed in partnership with Huawei, and is basically a Huawei B970 HSPA router with custom MTN software to ensure ease of use and plug-and-pay on the MTN network.

Maxing out the old modem again; time to procure a better one!

 
I got 5.2Mb/s the other day on speedtest.net with full signal and an external antenna..wicked :)
Will post the speedtest.net result when i get home.
 
Is it because there are fewer users on Telkom currently that you are getting those speeds? I know that happened with Iburst when I first got it --- before they launched!
