Cell C 3G/HSPA – Please rate your broadband connection

[Minosc]

I stay in the north western part of Pretoria.

Currently I have a RBM contract with Cell C as well as a Netcomm router with 2 GB per month.

I am very happy with my RBM service in the area where I live where I get a HSPA signal almost all of the time, but as soon as I start to roam teh siganl becomes almost non existent. Other forum members as well as myself has requested CellC for advice about this but they are very unresponsive. I am very happy with the service on the Netcomm router although it also becomes slow out of the major centres.

I would like Cell C to expand their higher data speed services to other areas. They should alsorevise their pricing. Since I currently have contracts with Cell C it does not bother me that much as yet but at the end of the contract period I will consider other cheaper options which will provide coverage over a greater area.

In Edenvale. Full strength HSDPA. Solid, stable and reliable. I even play MW3 ON Xbox via CellC and it works great.

Its great at my house in the edenvale area. Signal strength is always 5/5 unless theres a storm then its 4/5.
The speeds are great as it connects on H+ 90% of the time, reaching upto +-900KBps.
The only problem is that the E1820 (? its the black one bundled on the 60GB promo) dongle gets too hot and disconnects when using the internet alot. They should really look at bundling better devices (I'm on the 60GB for R3000 promo).
