Slowest LTE EVER!!!

<p>I live in doornpoort Pretoria. According to Telkom's coverage map I am covered for their LTE 90 Mb/sec product. I took out a LTE contract - 10 gig per month. And for the first 6 months the internet speed was AWESOME. </p> <p> </p> <p>Then gradually month after month, speed dropped & dropped and dropped SOME MORE. Now, a 90mb update takes 3 hours... 3 HOURS on the supposed to be super fast LTE network.</p> <p> </p> <p>To put this into perspective - My old sony phone only 3g capable, provides faster internet than the Telkom LTE product. I Feel this is a breach of contract and would like Telkom to either release me from for contract, which still has 12 months left, OR SORT YOUR LTE NETWORK OUT and give me my 6 months worth of DATA. </p> <p> </p> <p>PS. I would reccommend all people cosiddering to subscribe to any Telkom LTE product to RUN, RUN as fast as your can - AWAY from Telkom.</p>

So after your response, the internet was FAST again for all of 2 days... Then back to the same old dail up speed internet. BTW I was informed that Telkom is fully aware that they are still operating on a tower/towers that were designated to be decomissioned a long time ago... So I guess Im stuck with the latest useless technology.

Telkom, Please release me from my contract.

Just for the record, there is nothing wrong with the device or my computer. I tested both at different coverage spot and there all is fine. Your problem is clearly the Doornpoort area.
