Anyone else found that the signal on Cell C has degraded remarkably over the last 2 months.

We are both on blackberry and we struggle to keep connected to the BIS network with phones swing wildly from GSM to gsm; EDGE to edge; 3G to 3g; No signal SOS mode.

We now having to use sms to communicate instead of blackberry messenger.

Areas: Edenvale and Alberton

Signal used to rock solid last year this time.

Hi

I also use CellC with BIS, I haven't had alot of issuse, Just sometimes it goes down for a bit, But the past few days has been bad,
From my understanding CellC runs on IS backbone, and IS has been having a few problems lately...

It must be specific to your region.

Regards
Keegan

I have PM you, Require some info.
Will check on system, as i to go to Edenvale and BIS seems fine.
Maybe could be some provisioning setting on the system.

Must be location specific. I keep my SGS on Cell C on 3G only and I am very happy with the coverage.
