Hi there V3G
Don't know if u'll remember but about a month ago i posted about connection problems when playing online poker. In your'e reply you suggested that i take the card in to a walk-in centre to get tested (u suggested a lot of other things as well). I took the card to Vodaworld, they tested it and it was fine. They suggested I log a call with the data helpdesk to send a techie out to my house. I did that on the 4th, 8th, 9th and 23rd of August. No luck and no techie. Any chance u can wake them up?
On to another topic...
I read through the thread today about the vodacom network problems and in there I found the link for the Telkom speed test, so I gave it a try. I have the novatel card in a desktop pc using an Elan pcmcia adapter card, no external antenna, 32K sim, 3G only profile. Here is the results:
