I live in Scholtz Street, Somerset West, as well, and can't believe MTN is so far behind Vodacom regarding 3G roll out. As far as I know I am in the "Heldervue" cell..

Snakepit, could you please let the Coverage Supervisor know about the need for better coverage in Somerset West (and for that matter, the rest of SA)?

Thanks

Hi snakepit,

Where do I get the e-mail address of the coverage supervisor? I’d very much like to know when we’re getting 3G coverage in Northern Paarl.

MTN Data Dude,

Please call the correct person and ask him when will we have coverage in Somerset West. I have been asking this question for 2 years now. Is it so hard? Surely there must be a project plan somewhere? Can MTN be so disorginised?

I have noticed the past few days that my phone started to say yellow broadband. I was very excited and switched my phone to 3G (Nokia E70). No 3G signal?? Was the towers upgraded. Should I get 3G? I live in 24 Andries Pretorius Street. Somerset West.

I see that I now get 3G here in Technopark Stellenbosch. Thanks!

I checked the address provided- the yellow broadband you see is for edge, not 3g.
