FYI: Cable break in JHB

No signal at all for me in JHB

seems the problem is with 3g on vodacom all over the country, you can fix this temporary by just setting your phone to edge, seems to be working fine.

Vodacom - is there any eta on this issue? as phoning the call center only had them dropping my call.

only thing this day seems to be doing is making having vodacom making their clients red as well ;)

I have also been getting "Service currently unavailable" even though my Blackberry shoews full 3g signal. Followed the advice earlier in this thread and changed to Edge / 2G and can now make calls. Interesting thing is my email did not seem to have been affected, I just could not make calls.
:confused:

This should be a news article on mybb as it appears to be countrywide - moderators please take note and see if you can get official comment from Vodacom. Also perhaps the Subject of this thread should be updated to "Nationwide Vodacom outage - cable break"

Okay, looks like we're back in business. 3G signal and BIS working.
 
hi guys,

I have a HTC HD2 and I'm on vodacom but no signal... Someone else has a black berry and his works 100% and he's sitting in the same office... Is this normal (for now)
 
Had terrible connectivity all week in Stellenbosch. Up and running now using Cell C.
 
I had issues as well earlier this AM.
Seemed to have sorted itself out, but still quite irritating though!
 
Seems to be up now in Illovo, JHB - can make calls on 3G - I'd love to know what happenned today - how could it be a cable break affecting Vodacom countrywide?
 
heh seems mine is working 100% now , bis browsing all on 3G, however still most areas dead.
 
Network back, can call and sms, no internet connectivity yet (edge)

UPDATE: Just as said that internet started working lol

Vodacom Nationwide 3G and voice problems - what is the cause?

Many Vodacom users have been experiencing problems today with making calls while on 3G and with 3G reception - there are a number of threads on mybb reporting issues countrywide - I even checked MWEB's network status page - http://www.mweb.co.za/helpcentre/NetworkStatusNotices.aspx on the wireless page it shows numerous reports since yesterday afternoon.

It does seem to be resolved now, at least in Illovo, JHB.

Anybody know what has been going on?:confused:
