Using my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 as mifi device, got my ipad tethered to it via wifi.

Nice speeds! Last night it was up to shambles, was very laggy, as you waited for ages for something to happen.

I am struggling with Cell-C connection in my area and surrounding area.

I am on a MacBook Pro, and also on iPad3 and both devices can log onto the net, load the first page and then just sit there doing nothing.

I have lost a lot of Data so far because I have to keep on logging off and on again.

This is an ongoing problem since about a month or more.
I have reported it quite a few times, received calls from the Tech Help desk and say that they will investigate the problem.

One ticket is outstanding since 5th October 2012.
Reported it, got a call and that is it. No report back from Cell-C of what is going on.
