Yes. That sticky was posted on 21 February and then Cell C has already done "their investigation"
It is now 20 March and the problems are just as common as it was then. Are they incapable of solving it?

Plettenberg Bay - 3G
Bought some airtime while away in Plett, converted it to R45 worth of data for 300MB & additional 50MB they give away on that airtime, SMS & data promo.
Have to continually play around with the settings (between 3G preferred to GPRS only).
After a while on 3G (max 10 - 15 minutes), it loses the connection, then I need to activate GPRS only - network seems stable thereafter, on "dinosaur'' speeds.
Fortunately, I'm only reliant temporarily on a few essential things like e-mail & the odd site I need to visit - no downloading needed, but I can imagine the frustration from Cell C contract clients.
I look forward to getting back to ADSL, and hope to use up the remaining Cell C MB's back home, where Cell C in the past have had a more stable network.
In retrospect, I knew I should've gone with MTN @ double the price (still double, even though they've recently knocked down the prices of their prepaid) - wherever I've used them, their 3G has been perfectly stable.
Cell C - wake up you fools !

Isn't it time that Cell C owns up and give the option of cancelling contracts to those affected?
The service is not being delivered at this stage, but we're still paying.
I don't have beef with Cell C, still a voice customer, and I understand that with these good prices there would have been great interest, but the budget doesn't allow paying a monthly R200 for a non-functioning internet connection + R200 to now get functioning a one (e.g. if I move to 8ta in the next few days before the promotion ends).
It's all about budget now and getting a connection I can use in the day.
