@ The_Librarian

Thank you for proving that the MTN speedtest server is not faulty.

It's time ginggs accepts he's wrong and incorrect !

I am sorry...but Cell C 3G on my laptop has been nothing but a pain in my @ss this whole year. I seldom use it....but when I do like tonight when the ADSL has bombed out..then this is what its like! Browsing mybb tonight has been absolute torture. I definately wont be getting Cell C for my laptop again. Will either be Voda again or perhaps 8ta.

Sorry Cell C, the end of the line has come. This experiment for the past year was at best a disaster. I will rather pay Vodacom a little more and get a usable, stable connection were I can at least open a freakin web page than to dish out another R2000 for 5Gig a year and have more frustrations than joy. At first I got a constant 5Mb/s, but as time progressed, this lower than dial-up speeds is what I am stuck with.

And please Cell C, do not PM me again to ask all my detail. That has been done many times with no results.

Cell C is a big fail in my part of the country.

8ta rather.

Sorry to hear about your experience.
 
Cell C has been a great experience this past year and will definitely be using them again.
 
Tnx Ook man! Ja...after the first month it just simply has not been a nice experience. I am scared of 8ta though. Whats to stop the same happening with them? Ill see in December.

Occie

Get a prepaid 8ta SIM. Make it nonroaming. Load some airtime on it, and let 'er rip! :D
