is the promised new tower in fairland working?

[maumau]

A while back cellc said there would be a new tower near the MTN centre close to fairland. As i recall it would be operational from 22 april.

There's no improvement yet so what's goin on? Cellc rep?

this things take time, long time, south africa time,

build tower wait for contractor.
install equipment wait for contractor,
install dishes, wait for contractor,
test stuff, wait for telkom,
connect to network.

You can check for yourself with MDMA, drive up to where you think the new base station is and see if your signal strength maxes out.
Then drive around the block and see if you can pick up the three different cell IDs.

Hi ginggs i was hoping you'd be here. I'll do that but how do i check for 3 cell IDs?

Have your co-pilot take note of the cell IDs or turn on the logging in MDMA.

Different cells on the same tower normally differ in the last digit only, e.g. 6061, 6062 and 6063.
