LTE\3G

[mihza]

I was getting between 20mbps and 30mbps up until about a month or two ago. I had moved the router up above the roof of my house and the signal was great! Now, my router (Huawei B315s) says that the 4G signal is at full (all bars filled) but speed tests done at various times of the day range from 5mbps to 10mbps. I am no longer hitting up to 30mbps as I was on a regular basis. I know that at certain times of the day it varies. BUT there has been a gradual and consistent decrease in speed over the last month or so. Even though the signal is at full?

I have no idea who to contact at Telkom regarding this. Thank you in advance.

Hi @mihza You can contact Telkom Mobile on 081180 (free from a Telkom Mobile phone), or you can contact the support team on Twitter: @HelloTelkom and Facebook/TelkomZA

Does anyone have a problem in the Kempton Park area - is the speed and data charges the same during the day and night time?

I stay in Murrayfield area and when LTE was first launched I got 60-70Mbps constantly. Now during work hours I get 20Mbps+ and then from 17:00 or weekends I am lucky if I get 3Mbps.
Logged numerous cases but always get told to move router, or reset router, or install external antenna (even though have 4-5 bar signal).
What I want to know is at what stage will Telkom admit that the tower is over subscribed for the area and either put up a new tower or add additional capacity?
The solution was great but now becoming a nightmare.
(And no I don't do torrents and max 200GB per month)
