3G in Cape Town

[MacNabs]

Is 3G currently down in the Cape Town area? I have not been able to connect to 3G the whole morning. Currently using GPRS.

I am in the Mowbray area.

Hi - I've been connected for hours with no problems except that I haven't been able to send email for a while (I'm in Plumstead).

I'm out in Simons Town, and haven't been able to send any emails...The Vodacom SMTP server must be down AGAIN. Can anyone confirm?

Working again. Did not experience any problems with SNMP.

I am connected in Plumstead but also can't send mail .. aarrgghhh .. time to fire up the dial-up again .. this really freaks me out .. 1: that I am paying for service that I'm not getting and .. 2: that I have to keep paying for a monthly dial-up as well to cater for these times .. makes you think about the true cost of 3G.

Why not use one of the free mail services (eg GMail) as a backup for these times when the SMTP servers croak?

I am on 3G at the moment, and working fine.

Yeah that's what I do. Imagine not being able to email! But it it slower ...

Had a bit of a busy so only catching up now.

Is the problem still apparent and on which APN did you see the problem?
