V3G,

In yesterdays Cape Argus there was a full page add for Vodacom 3G and it listed the areas covered. This included Melkbosstrand where I live.

Question is: 1. why does it not show there is coverage on the Vodacom online map? 2. why do I only get 1/5-2/5 bars?

I've been under the impression I'm connecting to Tableview therefore the low signal strength ... How can I check where I'm connected to?

I'm using the external antenna.

Btw, there's no coverage at all in my bathroom ;)
 
I'm not going to ask what you're doing with your mobile connection in the bathroom... :)

PM me your physical addr. and I'll ask the local radio guys what your coverage should be.

The map is either outdated and/or conservative.

You can also call 155 while you're connected and they'll be able to tell you to which tower you're connected.
 
V3G,

I have wrote a PM to you last week as requested but no reply ...

Dont use your laptop or wireless connect card in your bathroom because it will get liquid damaged
 
V3G,

Any news? I am getting lots of disconnects, and performance is often not great. Luckily my little dialer app reconnects ...

Surely if my area was covered I should be getting better than 1/5-2/5 bars?

Thanks all for the bathroom tips! Is the jacuzzi ok then?

"there`s no 3g in melbos as yet"

Then why is Vodacom advertising it as being available in Melkbos?
