Disconnects and 619's

[snap]

Down in Fish Hoek I am getting loads of disconnects and 2 or 3 619's before I can connect again.

Started a couple of hours ago.

Is anyone else having problems?

 

[Slak]

Yes. Multiple disconnects yesterday, today, last week ...

I've also experienced numerous disconnects since yesterday - I'm in the city bowl, Vredehoek, at the moment. What on earth is going on at Vodacom, that precipitates this kind of intermittent service for a product which is so expensive? There seems to be zero proactivity when it comes to service delivery.

Should anyone watching the v3g alias notice this post, it appears to occur when a connection is attempted after a bout of inactivity. Yawn, same old story which has reared its head since earlier this year. (I pity those vodacom users who bother to waste their time logging calls via 155).

At least I am not alone.

Whats new here is that I get 2 or 3 619's before I can connect again.

I don't even attempt 155 calls anymore that is a total waste of time. Only hope is that v3g will see this thread!

It looks like the disconnects are back

 

[Gunny]

Out of intrest what cards/phones are you guys using ?

 

[rabbiddog]

Option HSDPA

Have reported, btw. Will revert if we pick anything up.

Do you guys still see a postive effect when using a 'keep-alive' ?

Pinelands - same problem.
I took the Dell 620 with inbuilt card option.
A housemate with an Del 620 and an pcmcia card has good connectivity.
Logged with 155, they suggested that we swop sim card and check if that makes a difference....
To me that makes zero sense.

I don't do the 'keep alive' thing, I have use 1.5 GB already this month

(had to connect twice to post this)

THere is a problem affecting the 'Southern Side' of Cape Town, looks like all of you guys are in this area. (With the obvious exception of Rabbiddog, who suffering from sympathy-disconnects!)

Rabbiddog, the guys are looking at your area at the moment.

 

[NPrinsloo]

Don't want to jinx anything, but since I last posted I haven't been disconnected again.
mmm

Thanks. Normaly I have no problems at all. Soon I will have to upgrade to a 3GB bundle

@v3g stay alive definitely helps but for the first time today I even had disconnects with it running.

Nope, I'm in Vredehoek, which aint in the South.

Yes the disconnects are still alive and making me unwell.

Anything 'south' of Bellville counts as 'Southern'
