Cell C Speed Test Results

[maeztro]

Had a good day yesterday, this morning intermittent.

Using iPad. When I turned it on, error, no cell phone connection or some such error. Didn't write it down. My bad. But the indicator at the top show full strength cell-c connection. Open Safari. No data connection is currently available. Speedtest. Network communication issues. Restart, spit into the wind, turn three times in a circle and look through my legs. Nothing. Then, try speedtest again and suddenly it is working.

Ok, retry speedtest. Network communication issues.... AAAARGGHHH!!!!!

Its more like wishing on a falling star & hoping for miracles. I wonder if Cell C are even bothered anymore.

As someone has mentioned before, it seems to be very area specific.

I took a CellC contract with the S4 as I am over Vodacom. In my last days of Vodacom now.
Been testing Vodacom and CellC contracts here at home (where I am 98% of the time) and CellC is kicking Vodacoms butt. Getting H+ full strength on both.
CellC is consistent and a pleasure to use. Vodacom randomly drops out. All is good then suddenly page loads etc... time out. CellC is no issues connectivity.
Getting 8mbps in, 3.5mbps out and 35ms ping on CellC. Getting slightly better on all with Vodacom but the dropouts make it useless to use.

I just hope CellC maintain this after 31 May when I am on them permanently.

It's been better this last week. Just some evenings Cell C goes completely dead and then I use Vodacom LTE (which is bloody fast but only 3 gigs a month).
