Disconnects and 619's

[zoot]

There are some substantial upgrades happening, in the area, over the next week.

Clearly not yet, as this morning the connection dropping has returned

It seems related to congestion/capacity, if all was well over the weekend...

Yes, fits with what I said.

First upgrades starting tonight.

I stay less than 5km from VODAWORLD and get constantly disconnected!

The "upgrades" which were supposed to be applied last night obviously have little to do with CT as the situation is unchanged. Several disconnects today again.

I'll try and get a schedule of what's supposed to happen when. I was told it would start Monday night, but let me get the actuals.

Update: I've had data throughput issues this morning - ie. the connection stays up, but I haven't been able to connect to remote hosts. After reconnecting there was a long delay before being able to connect to other hosts.

Edit: connections still dropping (almost 2 weeks now!)

Looks like, if all goes well, the new systems will start coming online tonight. Some changes were already made last night.

(Except for zoot), any feedback on any improvements in Cpt?

snap, crackle and pop, you guys?

I haven't had any problems so far today - will let you know if anything changes over the weekend.

Just had a disconnect but it looks like the 3G tower went down I had no signal on my phone or data card all working now tho

 

[vodacom3g]

I think they're cutting some towers over to the newly installed systems (RNC's).

All the physical upgrades are complete, so you should see an improvement. A few Telkom lines are still outstanding.

Stays connected, speed looks great - did I die and go to 3g heaven?

Huge improvement

Connection's holding : haven't had a single disconnect today, much happier bunny now

Based on how quiet this forum has been over the last few days, the network changes appear to be working...

 

[zoot]

Yeah, my connection was stable on Sat. Haven't used my data card since though...

 

[rabbiddog]

Thanks v3g.

Connection reliability and speed is great again.

3g - i take it all back. But this morning foreshore - i had a run of disconnects, two 619 and then being able to reconnect. This evening i have had zero problems.

MY connection speed has been awful for a few days now. In WP - Joostenberg and it's worse than dial up for GPRS/Edge. Can someone have a look please...
