Cell C Whoosh - SLOWEST Internet Ever~!

[zacdesai]

I changed my internet from Iburst to CellC, earlier this year. I was with Iburst for about 3 years prior to that. CellC, came out with their media-hyped new 3G - whoosh. Now im tied in to R140 pm for a service I can hardly ever use. The connection totally sucks, on weekends, I cant ever get a connection that lasts more than 5 minutes. When it does, it is soooo slow - my old 56K modem dial-up was faster than this. Please anyone, dont fall for this tell trevor, media hype of CellC. Total fabrications and lies. Their internet is the slowest in South Africa!

Before all you CellC lovers get on my back - I understand maybe in central JHB, Yes it works fine, but theres more to great customer service than serving a small minority of people. I live in springfield - Durban - not far off from Durban CBD. so coverage should not be an excuse. They should include this disclaimer in all their hyped up media ads. Total hogwash. I tried contacting Trevor Noah, via twitter, and the SMS no. HAHA - what a waste of my time.

Grrr.. wish I was back with Iburst - better the devil you know than the one you dont.

I feel for you mate. I had similar experiences with Sentech MyWireless and Neotel. At the end of the day wireless comms is a lottery. Even when you get great speeds sooner of later your tower will get oversubscribed and then you're screwed. I'm using Cell C and I'm currently very happy with it, but who knows what it'll be like in 6 months when the number of subscribers in my area may have increased. At least Vodacom and MTN have come to the party so maybe Cell C's uptake will slow slightly.

Download http://www.nerve.org.za/mdma/ and connect with it instead of Cell C's app.
With it you can get your signal strength as well as tower ID.

What is your RSSI ?
