I am happy with cell c , very very happy

Mazelove,what do you use your connection for and how is your stability of your network,Port Elizabeth being the most covered Cell C city in the country I am assuming it is 1st class!

How much down time have you had?

Been entering everyday...

Got 2 Black 60G Speed Sticks and surprise surprise they do not work properly!

Im also a happy cell c customer.

Im not saying that they are 100% stable, but they sure as hell beat the pants off of vodacom and mtn IMHO. Cellc has done a lot to change the mobile broadband industry over the last few months and for that they deserve respect.

 

[karnuffel]

What do you use there service for gaming surfing etc?

I use their service for playing wow, surfing, downloading the odd file.

Don't you have issues with NAT?

 

[karnuffel]

NAT as in network address translation? That happens on routers right? Not sure what you are asking.

yes, Network Address Translation, it happens in routers however with Cell C having restricted APN's your NAT will be moderate or strict which will affect the matchmaking process when looking for online games and with the unstable network it just makes things even worse.

the restricted APN issue I have to grin and bend, however the unstable network I am kicking up a stink,what speedtest results are you getting?

 

[stoymigo]

I'd be embarrassed to join even though I know how bad it can get I've tried cell c a while ago and it was crap, some have it good but those that have it bad I know what it feels like!

If I knew someone would take cellc3g I would warn them as a means to contribute but a fb page no.

I don't join these type of pages, that's why plus I'm not a facebook regular but I know of the complaints even on hello peter. The complaints are common in all networks probably.

It is common on all networks ,unfortunately Cell C is the flavor of the day , R6000 later I have the right to get Cell C to rectify the problem, normal channels do not work so what other options do I have normally mass network notification gets a rise out of the service provider!

Embarrassed I am, but what other choice do I have! They market to the masses via all forms of media so I am utilizing the same media to rectify the problem, again what other choice do I have!!

So have you asked the cell c rep on this forum for help?

I have indeed, however through no fault of his own, he has hit a brick wall due to the incompetent tech/engineering dept.

The stablilty of the network has got so bad that I cannot even play a local game with the gaming clan that I belong too.
