I've had numerous calls where it has taken 5 to 6 calls to have a 10minute conversation. Definitely gotten worse.

Inside my house I get a 100% call drop rate. Every single call I either make or receive will be dropped. I ALWAYS have to go outside and stand in my driveway if I do not want the call to drop. This is the same for sending a SMS. I am on Vodacom. My wife, which is on MTN very seldom have dropped calls in the house.

[Chevron]

Everyday I have dropped calls on MTN.

[Sinbad]

On vodacom in blairgowrie I had a 100% dropped call rate. I was completely unable to finish a call from home. Ever.

[Garyvdh]

Sounds about right. Not surprised at all.
