Slow Speeds for so called "Super Fast" LTE internet

I have the "Super Fast" WebAfrica Cell C LTE Service for about a month now and I have never experienced the speeds they speak of. I have 4 out of 5 bars on LTE signal and I always get between 200 and 400kbps. I cancelled my Telkom 4Mb ADSL to get this so called "Super Fast" LTE connection, but my ADSL line was faster than this. I have called their Support line on numerous occasions due to outages and slowness, and the Customer Service Representatives don't know what they're doing. I am doing troubleshooting quicker than they can page through the manual. I hear long pauses when they're trying to look for what to do next. I have a friend with the same connection in a different area and he gets between 2 and 4 MB/s downloads and I get between 200 and 400 KB/s. It's even slow browsing now, waiting for almost 30 seconds for a web page to load.

Reviewer Update
I've logged tickets, gone through processes and tried everything, but I believe that my problem is congestion on the network. I have full bars on my router and this slowness usually happens after 6pm in the evenings. Why am I paying R530 a month for a useless service? I work from home most evenings after 8pm and I can't even use this pathetic internet. So I'm basically throwing R530 away each month. I am ever sorry I went with WebAfrica, especially now that I'm reading so many other bad reviews and having first hand experience of your terrible customer service. It's as if you just don't care about your customers, but are just happy to take their money each month.
