Can't say the same for me here in the Cape. Problems again in Milnerton today, after yesterday's bliss today we are back with the same issue as during the week...

Will keep trying - AGAIN...
Getting frustrating now - surely there must be a problem - even though there isn't one according to Vodacom/Siemens?
On the plus side I suppose, no disconnects - apart from me trying to get the connection going again, and again...

Yeah, sorry ic, had a really bad day with datacards, and ended up swapping 2 of my "treasured" option cards used in-store to clients who were struggling with the novatels, so this hit a sore spot...
V3G, please ask them to bring back the option cards, I know they listen to you????

ok ok ok already
Ok people take a break. 3G4me is sounds like you are having a bad day or going through menopause, i don't know but people can monitor me all day if u want i can give you a full set of details even DNA records if you want. but all you people here on this forum are a different breed of human so i give up anyways enjoy y'all's life
3G4me said:Dunno where you've been living dude, but maybe when Cellc finally launch HSDPA (that is after they've built a decent voice network) you may be able to actually quote facts around here.
Firstly, the option card is well known to have a MUCH better signal strength than any other card. Do you even know that different firmware versions and software versions are available for the different cards? Do you know that if you insert a different make card you must re-create a profile???
Secondly, the novatel is fraught with problems, from signal strenth, to compatibility issues, to incorrect PID modem settings being supplied to SA. This is spoken about alot in this forum, and as a retailer of all 3, I can tell you in no uncertain terms, the novatel is an absolute nightmare, and VERY weak in the signal strength department.
From someone who doesn't even know whether motorola or alcatel builds their towers, I would stick to the Cellc threads if I were you!!!!

With such a short supply of cards and such a huge demand, we're taking whatever we can get our hands on
I'm sure we'll get the firmware on the Novatel's sorted. You might remember a similar situation a year ago when we first launched 3G with Option and then also brought Novatel in. For a while we battled with the Novatel's but it got sorted.
As soon as it's available I'll post.
We must not get all our hopes pinned on the next firmware release. While I'm sure the issues with Novatel will be resolved with a firmware upgrade, I've not seen (did ask, though) the release notes yet.
Love to send a notification out via SMS, but then we're the evil spammers again....

v3g,
I have noticed from the posts that some people have the higher upload speeds.
I don't seem to get any more than 64k and I was wondering if some towers still need to be upgraded etc etc?
In Edgemead/Monte Vista/Bothasig area.
Thanks

Edit: Really bad signal today. No disconnects but takes a while for pages to load. When they load, they do at >700kbps but there is a slight delay.
