    After working well in June the Vodacom BIS service has yet again gone down the drain.
    Opening the google home page takes around 5 minutes, if at all.
    I primarily use the BIS service for emails, but when I want to occassionally use my Blackberry to browse the internet it never works.
    It almost ALWAYS timeouts and when it rarely works it is slow to the point of being useless.

    When is Vodacom going to solve this problem Jannie ? ? ?
    Why does Vodacom charge me R59,oo every month knowing full well they can't provide me with the service
    they're happy to charge me for ? ? ?

    Is this not dishonesty and theft ? ? ? ! ! !

    Vodacom have destroyed BIS and I am sure if blackberry did not have such issues in the company, someone could complain and they would investigate.
    IMO they are killing the service we are paying for.

    How is that possible on the Ipad? I see on 3.5g they may get speeds close to that but on our networks is that even possible on the Ipad 2.5 ? (not gonna call it the ipad 3)

    It's 42Mb/s capable and we have a few thousand 42Mb/s towers up around the country.

    OK, so I'm currently in Stellenbosch, and BIS is cr@p at best its quite irritating actually, and I'm not alone many others have told me the same I thought Stellenbosch is supposed to be the silicon valley of Africa?
