HSDPA bandwidth rollover issue resolved

Why would anyone get Vodacom HSDPA through Mweb and not from Vodacom directly?
 
Did the subscriber in the article gets his April bandwidth rolled over as he is entitled to or will M-Web only start doing so from this month?
 
Why are they still calling it the 60 day bandwidth carry over?
MWEB replied by email to one subscriber late on Friday that the 60 day bandwidth carry over is active.

It's UP TO 60 days.
:mad:

Anyways, nice to know that there is an alternative route to buying Voda bandwidth besides the air-time buying data bundle swapping on your last bit of bandwidth sweat inducing method provided by vodacom.co.za.

That's gone, you can buy a new bundle now well before the previous bundle expires

I was also misinformed by Vodacom, I even reiterated "if I sign up on the 15th of May, my data bundle will last till the 15th of July?" which they said yes to on every occasion... Obviously that's not the case If you want to make full use of it, you have to sign up on the first of the month!

Vodacom, please inform you call centre agents on what is actually going on, or hire some that don't have an IQ deficit.

Have never understood why people buy resold 3g packages from ISP's like Mweb, Axxess and the like. Just another middleman to get in the way when you have a problem.

I'd be interested if these ISP's actually physically rolled out their own 3g networks, otherwise I'd rather cut through the red tape and go directly to the guys setting up the towers, i.e. Vodacom and MTN.

Perhaps the wording and confusion serves a purpose. The fact that some people (several on-forum) believe they will get 60 days proves this.
 
super super super--lame.....hooray mwebbed now you's too can go outs theres and tell em folks em apparent "rollover" lies....cause we here people knows its notsa true rollover yet
 
The outcry against Vodacom, and their evil plot to rob South Africans of their hard earned cash for a few megarbytez of data, is not hard enough !

I can also remember the positive feedback people made when vodacom introduced the 1~31 day extentiontion on databundle robbery - WTF - we should have been up in arms !!!

And then they had the fine cheek to call it rollover !!! Dammit vodacom - here's rollover for you - there's my left index finger, here's my right index finger, watch how I rollover the rest of my fingers.... ZAP @ Vodacom !!!
 
i know this is old topic but i dont seem to find the latest on this anywhere and vodacom.co.za is as useless as roadkill...

can someone pls tell me if my data bundle will roll over this month? I have a 2gig contract and doubt i'll use all of it this month, but would be good to know if i should download whole lot of crap, or wait till next month and combine my 2 to download some usefull things. please let me know. according to the expiry date (which is on the vodacom website and just as unreliable) it will expire end of this month. does that mean the 'rollover' crap is only on seperately bought bundles and not on month to month contracts also?
 
In fact the whole data rollover thing has been an issue for MWeb's MTN customers as well. I was assured by MWeb telephone support recently that MTN data will also roll over, but given the chaos of their data billing and inability to track it correctly online recently I won't be holding my breath!

Somebody wondered why anyone would subscribe to Voda or MTN data through a reseller like MWeb? Couple of reasons: we either already had MWeb email addresses we didn't want to lose and obviously we didn't want to pay twice for the MWeb address AND the data, and the MWeb package was priced tightly enough to make it a good deal, OR the deal was sweetened with a modem.

But given the endless billing problems I certainly won't be renewing. All together now: "NO MORE CONTRACTS!" As the old folk song says: 'When will we ever learn?'
 
probably will never learn. however i wonder how much money vodacrap spends on monitoring systems to try calculate all these 'doesnt roll over' then later 'up to 60 days' then 10% free based on this and based on that and warra warra all just so we dont get anything 'too nice'. wish they could just use the same principle as they do with the free minutes, can add up to 6 months and u use from the most recent month backwords. really seems to work fine. ii dunno, i'm losing faith in my 10 yr cellphone provider in leaps and bounds these days..,..
