    Mobile connection speed - Interesting observation

    It's perhaps not so big deal but how many people know how big influence the SIM CARD have on mobile connection speed? 1) Used a 32K Vodacom sim card on both 3.6 and 7.2 USB modems. Very slow and drop a lot. 2) Used a 64K Vodacom sim card on both 3.6 and 7.2 USB modems. Got around 1.3 mbps...

    I live in Sunninghill, Jhb, and for about the last 2-3 months my speed stick becomes useless during peak hours. Every evening from 6pm to around 10pm I get the ****ty connection above. I'm lucky if my ping <300 during this time. I've phoned CellC many times about the problem and they haven't...

    Sim Card Ripoff

    Beware the Cell C sim cards. They seem to fail a lot (mine in less than a month) and a R150 a pop which is like 3 times the price of Vodacom's sim cards which don't fail. Maybe Cell C have discovered a new revenue stream, I don't know.

    Voice Call - Cell C gets the lines crossed

    Just checking if anyone else has experienced this - its very weird. The only person on Cell C that I call is my wife and I always use my Vodacom phone for that.

    VOIP on the CellC HSPA+ band

    Hi all, Does anyone know whether the CellC HSPA service can be used to dial landlines and mobile phones? I was thinking something like FNBConnect's digital phone which can do VOIP but also make calls to phones. Thanks

    Cell C 4Gs modems available at Dionwired

    Saw this ad today in the newspaper. Guess if you buy it in Gauteng it will only work on the slower speeds until they have switched on the 4Gs network in about two weeks. Update: Okay, Okay, I see it is only available in Durban and Cape Town for now. Wonder why they are running it in...
