So I bought this Powertel Dongle which did not come with a sim card and the internet connection is really slow. I have tried using an extension cable and using disc as a satellite but it is still very slow.

It downloads at about 9-26kbps and when it is really fast (at midnight usually) the download speed is around 40kbps. I don't if maybe it is just me or everyone else (which I highly doubt). I live in Gweru Riverside and I tried everything.

Does anyone know what I can do because I want to download many things but it takes a long time to download anything. Pleeeasssseee heeeellllpp anyone Tell me any trick you may know. I use Windows 7 ultimate by the way.
