use the 3gonly setting

Tonight for the first time we've noticed alot of interference coming from our E220, its affecting our speakers as well as the monitor. This is the first time its ever happened. Is anyone else experiencing this, or might know what the cause is?

I hope someone can help me with this. I have tried searching the forum, but i can't find anything similar. Perhaps someone can point me to a similar thread that i have missed. My problem is as follows. I have a Vodacom Huawei E220 3G modem. Operating System is Win XP service pack 2...

Okay so I got the new modem on saturday... but it seems to be more sensitive than its older brother cause it keeps dropping my connection. I am unable to get DSL so I use HSDPA for my online gaming. But it keeps dropping my connection... which is very frustrating. Older modem didn't do...

Hi, I used Vodacom's 3G HSDPA for a while. In fact, I tried it TWICE. Both times I was bitterly disappointed. Many, many, many signal drops. Speed was ok-ish, but signal kept being lost, and reconnection would happen. Often during a download, which would then be lost. Anyone else have...

Just wonder, with one more left of free trialing before paying our R50 ... how do you guys feel about 3.6 ? Willl you pay after the end of this month? I'd actually like to see a poll if possible, because from what I've seen and read, there isn't *much* value to 3.6. Before I get a flurry of...

VODACOM 3G/GPRS SIGNAL CRAP!!:mad: Why When The Signal Switches From 3g To Gprs Does It Cut Off!!!!!!! It Happens Everytime Conveniently Enough It Does Around The 80% To 95% Mark And Then When You Connect Again The Download Start From 0%

I have a P1 and often when checking the network status by tapping on the blue icon on the top row I see either "GPRS: detached. Logon Failed" or even "3G: detached. Logon failed" Switching to flight mode and back again normally fixes this, but what I want to know is what does this message...

What is the greatest distance that one can get : HSDPA , 3G , EDGE to work from a tower - with 100% line of sight - no/minimal trees in the way at all. http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb147/jannie40/kroonvaaltower.jpg (picture taken on ground level) Can the faster services work with...

I was chatting to a friend who is in the cellphone industry (network specialist) and he says he cannot see why VC will be charging for the new service. According to him, "all the towers were already on 3.6 and it did not require additional hardware ... only a software upgrade!". Any thoughts...

Guys I am experiencing some massive pings in WoW at moment using 3g. I am using it in a different location than when I last posted, however this location has the same 3g signal strength(Rondebosch, Cape Town). I am talking about double the latency with spikes of up to 5000ms. Any problems with...

I have been having issues for the last 3 days now with my Vodacom connection. It is consistently dropping HSDPA down to 3G then to GPRS - this happens every 2/3 minutes now and is really starting to annoy me. I only stay connected to HSDPA for less than 1 minute at a time. It is also dropping...

With all these power cuts and the fact that iBurst is as unreliable as a government official, we are looking at the possibility of moving to Vodacom as our preferred wireless internet SP. Before we do that however, what is the signal strength and stability like in the Johannesburg North area...

Hi all, I am with a volunteer firefighting service which has a mobile operations unit. Currently the unit is equipped with a Globetrotter GT Max 7.2 connected to a Poynting High Gain antenna (elevated to about 3 metres high). However, this is a directional antenna. Since our operations are...

I have been using my 3G USB modem at Mutual Park, Pinelands, Cape Town for the past year. The signal strength has been good and I normally have HSDPA connection speeds. But over the past month the quality of the signal is really poor and intermittent. It ranges from EDGE to 3G to HSDPA. With...

I've had 3g for 6 months now. Huawei modem in my pc etc. I always had 3G connected where I live (Somerset West Area) during this time, but recently, say a week or so ago, I started getting 53.6kbps (green light). I get it everywhere in my house, and the modem refuses to give me 3G connection...
