Question of the Day: Have you ever ordered a product online and received a fake knock-off?
Best/Worst Cell Provider in SA

I have a Vodacom business contract and prepraid cellc for backup bandwidth (or when the wife is abusing Hulu.com and I need lower latency for HON or raiding) for my adsl line. I dont need technical support or anything and their networks suite my needs. One of the advantages of living in EL is lower tower saturation.

MTN needs a whole bunch of new and more IT staff, now and fast.
billing is lame, u can only load a R50 bundle/uncapped, but if you want full speed, you've got to throw it away, rather than pause it. The customer service center is much like a mental institution, lost count of how many claim that the connection speed gets downgraded to 128MBps, in stead of 128kbps, and she still goes on to tell me that im wrong..., they might as well as do some charity here and hire the mentally disabled as perhaps this way, and by sheer randomness, they might get to solve you're problems after the 50th call.
like my R50 refunds though, however i'd never trust them for business. they'd better get their act right
i like the entire uncapped idea very much, if only they could do this properly, and if only we aren't limited to the 128kbps joke either.

I actually want to recommend an alternative avenue, and this is not an ad...
Smartcom is an independant dealer for Vodacom. You can do your port through them, and they would be able to assist you with 90% of your cellular related problems. The benefit of these smaller dealers are that they are more flexible and can provide you with customised service, instead of dealing with the giants to who you are just a number.
