Extremely slow Cellular Data

<p>Even after purchasing an extra 5Gig on my "Unlimited" contract my data is so slow I can barely use my device (iPhone 7). I phoned 180 and was told to reset my device and after this didn't work was told to reset my network settings.</p> <p>After no luck I contacted Telkom on Twitter and was told to test my speed via Speedtest.net, which indicated 2.63 mbps download speed. The only reaction I got was that my area forms part of a network improvement project. How can this be as I experience this all over Gauteng??</p> <p>After this I was told to call 180 again.. The cycle continues with me still very unhappy despite having 4 contracts with Telkom! Never again!</p>

Good day.

After my complaint last month, I only chamged the star rating from 1 to 2 stars as I was waiting for the new month to see if this was only to help until month end.

AGAIN my download speeds are only 0.21Mbps on the 4th of the month after purchasing 3Gig extra Data and 1Gig Freemee bundle. I would like to remind you that I am on a UNLIMITED contract AND have 4 contracts with Telkom. Do you not value me as a customer???

Please return my speeds to normal and keep it there as I would like to remove my posts but have no choice but to complain on Hellopeter!
