Hi Fortune,

Thanks for the info. Just a quick question: Will this affect Cell-C users, Virgin Mobile users, or both?

It normally depends on the nature of the downtime, the above will affect GPRS users on both Cell C and Virgin mobile as we run on the same Cell C network.
 
ndlovu_f, Thank you for the info. Just one quick question:
Downtime for what? 3G Uprades? Oh, no problem then, take a few hours extra if needed man! Can't wait!! :p
 
Hi Id13,

The upgrade is mainly to our GPRS & EDGE base stations nationally.

Hi ndlovu, is this upgrade only on CellC\VM towers. I ask this because i don't know if this include our tower in the N\Cape which is a VC tower from where we get our VM GPRS.
Secondly i would like to know if this upgrade is done remotely, or will techs go out to work on this towers tonight. If they do go out to towers, i'm 400 meters from the VC tower and i should see them on top.

:cool:

When will you be Uprading the Gordons Bay towers? We have no edge converage here, but the town Next to us, Strand (+-5KM from us), have full EDGE coverage according to the CellC EDGE Coverage map. :confused:
 
Looks like the downtime is not work correctly here. Maybe this is a manual downtime where everybody disconnects on a voluntary basis?

Just kidding. Connection was unstable at midnight for a few minutes, but that's about it.
 
Looks like the downtime did not work at all. Tonight webpages opens slow again, and the red data transfer arrow on my phone screen just stop for a long time, and after a while it starts flashing again. :confused:

:eek:==:eek:
