Hi there,
Can someone give me some advise on the new Extended Data 1GB package for R399.I am just going to give you some background on what I currently have.

I currently have a “My Choice 75 with extended 500MB Bundle”, it was a special you had in December 2006. On my invoice it says “500MB Data Monthly Service fee” and states it is a PDAT 500MB Bundle. We are paying R 350.00 inclusive for this.

We would like to upgrade to the “Extended Data 1GB and get 1GB free” package or bundle for R 399.00 inclusive. Would this be possible and if so how do I go about getting this done.

I have contacted customer care and they said it is possible but the guy wasn’t to sure about the new packages.

PS. Thanks for the info last night.

Regards,

Chris

How far are you from the 3G enabled masts in your area?

I am in the middle of 2 3G/HSDPA enabled masts which is about 1.5KM away from me and I still get speeds from 1KB/s to a max of 90KB/s. I once got 98KB/s for a few seconds too. But my average constant speed is round 35-40KB/s.

If you have a E620 then maybe I should organize you a YAGI antenna

Let me know if you keen to try one - Wait don't you already have one isn't it helping at all :confused: - Well I'll run that trace when I get the app loaded and advise ASAP

Yeah I got one and I dont think its working. I alo sa that the rivet holding the 2nd bar that comes from back from the tip came out so I stuck it back in but it didnt make a diffrence. So maybe the cable is screwed or the antenna itself dont work. I dunno.

Btw its still the same problem that Saleem came out to check on last time. Kurt did phone me last time and I did raise it higher as he said but no diffrence.
