3G on Virgin Mobile

Really don't know why I am replying to this...

3G... so what - If people can get away from Telkom dial-up who cares, you don't happen to work for Telkom BTW... are you the person that writes the info in the phone book by any chance

All networks and systems have their problems, Vodacom, MTN included... ADSL also goes on holiday as well, at least when you phone Virgin you get to speck to a human

I have ported a few people and it take about three days
 
Blame it on telkom

1) Virgin Mobile rents a internet server with cellc so there is no why cell c would give virgin mobile a 3g enabled server and covourage if they dont even have 3G

What rumors? The rumors that was going around back in 1920?

3G server? :eek:
There is no such thing. A server is a server. 3G was just the last-mile access medium.

3G was possible on VM - It's just not possible anymore.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Cell-C (and therefore Virgin Mobile) also have 3G now??
 
I work for a local company which offers services over GPRS/3G. A while back I remember Cell-C users had some GPRS problems and the word from Cell-C was that they were upgrading to 3G.
 
Someone mentioned a while back that Cell C might be upgrading to Edge2 or something like that, which is faster than 3G, it was only a rumour however. ;)

Edit: I just googled Edge 2 for the first time and I don't see anything about it, looks like Edge gets up to 384kbps, which is like 3G ;)

Hi,

I think you are referring to EDGE LTE which supports up to 2Mb/s.

Im on cellc and Virgin Mobile... Noticed in durban i only get 3.5G access in the suncoast area... Think thats the only station we have
 
I would highly recommend anyone wanting an sort of connectivity to stay well clear of virgin mobile. Whatsapp barely works on my iphone with it :(
 
How is the 3g connection and speed in the Randburg/ Roodepoort/ weltevredenpark areas? I'm thinking about getting from virgin who are offering topup 3gig data plan @R149 a mth. Any comments on their current data service would be appreciated.

I want to port my sim n/w with virgin and if it's not good with internet then can you suggest me any good plan for reliance

My girlfriends number was ported in a day and we have constant internet speeds. However, we do work close to the CBD in Cape Town.
 
I just relocated to Johannesburg Alberton area and I have a problem with the data connection.

It only connects on 3 for 5 Seconds and loses connection. I currently have it set to gsm only and have a stable edge connection but I would think that in 2014 in a fairly central area I would get a good data connection. I'm looking to install adsl but I need the mobile connection for playing Ingress.

I was hoping that virgin mobile might have a rep here or someone else in the area has virgin mobile. I just renewed the contract 2 months ago. The 3 connection in durban was good when I was at home none existent at work but I didn't need it at work.
