Vodacom BIS working at full speed

[Ivanr]

Doubt it. First world countries have ditched Blackberry for greener pastures already (I wonder why?). We're two years behind the trend, so the allure of R59 "uncapped" internet still draws the masses because of the relatively high mobile data costs.

1000% CORRECT SIR - As mobile data pricing falls so WILL this brand - RIM has got problems in this regard elsewere = FACT.

Just to get an overall idea, can someone with access to an MTN/CELL C/Whatever BB + Vodacom BB please compare the service levels(Just give a personal opinion on speed), cause knowing the reliability of BB, I'm beginning to think Vodacom is not alone with these issues

They are ditching it because of its OS not because of BIS or BES

from what i've seen the Vodacom Blackberry Pipe in SA gets upgraded way before it reaches its threshold & its not running at full capacity atm either.

Well then what is the problem? Clearly it is not isolated to just a few users

I think i need to move back to Full BIS to test as im currently using BIS on the Vodacom BES server so my experience would be different to the average user.

As for the slow speeds, I'm going to ask the RIM solution specialist assigned to VC and see what She says & post back.

If you want you can DM ure BBM PIN and i can check on your profile on RIM's Server.

My BIS is working again.

For the last 24 hours my experience has gone from non-existent to fantastic..

I owe a big thank you to SphereZA !

I suffered for TWO years with crappy BIS from Vodacom, so I do hope my BIS does not degrade again.

I am not sure if it is solely SphereZA's efforts or if Vodacom did something too.
What I do know is I have been in contact with SphereZA over the course of today.
My BIS is currently working quite fine right now.
I repeat - I hope it does not degrade again.

I seriously doubt vodacom fixed anything. I think you owe sphere

Two years, you say?

But here you say it was working fine two months ago?

Ever since last Wednesday the BIS service at my home location has been working really well.
On device web browsing is very fast. I am experiencing no disconnects / time-outs.
Web pages open instantaneously. BBM messages go through immediately. Emails hit my device timeously.
My Blackberry experience is finally working the way it was designed to.

I really don't want to be a spoil sport, but my browsing on BIS still sucks. BBM is fast, but opening websites is dog slow.

@ginggs

Your comments add no value so keep them to yourself.
You CHOSE to selectively quote my original post.


I will quote my full post dated the 9th of June 2012:

"Ever since last Wednesday the BIS service at my home location has been working really well.

I have a feeling the backhaul on the site that serves me has been upgraded by Vodacom.

I will refrain from thanking Vodacom simply because I have suffered for years with the Vodacom BIS service, and choose not be thankful today !"


So ginggs please desist from being a know-it-all cos you know nothing !!!
