*READ FIRST* Vodacom Problems: Slow Throughput, Trying to Connect, DNS, High Latency

[morkhans]

I've been trying all day - PM's don't go through - basically in Sunninghill, extremely slow for past week...

If you can't send VodacomData the info he needs then you will have to give 155 a call and see if they can help you.

So no one called you yesterday ?

Hey VodacomData, I got a call yesterday at 15h00 saying that i will get a call today from a technician. The technician phoned this morning to check which tower i'm connecting to, and said they will investigate.

I will be monitoring my connection now.

I'm connected with 3G now and seems much better than the weekend.

So lets hope the problem was resolved. I would love to know what was wrong though.

Thanx VodacomData

My Vodacom 3G connection seems very slow today.
My test results:

speedtest.net

Download Speed: 0.5Mb/s
Upload Speed: 0.32Mb/s

speed.vodacom
Download Speed: 4566 kbps (570.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 1149 kbps (143.6 KB/sec transfer rate)

Why is speed.vodacom showing very fast connection, and speedtest/reality is slow?
Is the problem with the connection from vodacom to the world?

Hi

My connection is reeeaaallyy slow today. Is there something wrong with the vodacom towers in Pierre van Ryneveld?
This is my speedtest result:


I'm trying to download a 6MB file and it says it's going to take 2 hours. I've phoned 155 but they can't help me. My reference number is S2-Y8BBS-S9GD.
VMC says my connection is good and it's using HSDPA.

added: Vodacom speedtest result
download speed: 266 kbps
upload speed: 6 kbps

It looks like this is still ongoing as I am still unable to do internation browsing.

Does anyone now if this has effect others, i.e DSL, MTN, iBurst?

[poolmania]

International browsing is extremely slow/non existent. Local is only working at the moment. In the Edenvale area. Is anyone experiencing this?

[za1]

yes, exact same problem since the weekend - 3g very erratic - sometimes connects to sites, sometime just hangs - sometimes can get to g0ogle.co.za and sometimes doesn't - is there anything we can do?

edit: ok just tried to call and after going through all the prompts end up with due to unforseen circumstances call centre is closed???

great

[shearder]

Ironic - posting from an MTN SIM LMAO!!!!!!!!

Same issue - SLOWWWWWW or no response from the site - most sites. SA sites seem ok - i guess...

I am in Midrand. Full signal (5 bars) but not much data throughput... Really bad international surfing!!

Good to see I am not the only one who feels like a stuck record when it comes to asking people to supply the required information.

[MBB]

anyone else having problems?

mine is disconnecting like ALL the time, since yesterday

a few minutes ago it wanted to connect to "3G" and not "Vodacom 3G" or "Vodacom HSDPA" - anything to do with that?

Battling with connection and download speed since last week. I am at Greenstone Hill.Directly opposite the Modderfontein Golf course

What can you do ?

I suggest you delete all the post that do not supply the info
This will have a snowball effect like whats happening now
