When are u expanding 3g coverage in Port Elizabeth?
coverage is pathetic, i have a N70 & datacard which is useless for net usage!

Good day,

When I check on the plans for 3G phase 2 roll out I see Montford Park Queensburgh area built in the roll out

MTNDD

Montford Park Queensburgh??? thats 100s miles away in a different province
I actually wanted to know of upgrades (Edge/3G/HSDPA) in Montana, Pretoria (Zambesi Road Tollgate)
Can us normal guys view the list of planned network upgrades somewheres on the net?

My apologies I'll check this with our coverage department, In regards to your question no you won't be able to view where we planning to upgrade sorry

Here's the reply from my coverage department

These are the three sites to be built in Montana:

Christiaansville
Stefanus Roos Primary
Geoquip

I can’t tell how far they to full functionality.
These sites are not privy to the public as yet. But they can call us and we will do our best to advise without over promising.

Ok, finally there seems to be some 3G activity in this area 565B/GOODWOOD FIRE STATION of Goodwood.The signal however seems to be unusable. Packet data not available & unable to make or receive calls. I have to reboot my phone into GSM mode for it to work.

Are they running tests on the tower??

Good day,

I've sent this to Coverage and will advise ASAP

Hi MTNDD,
You seem to be clued up on MTN in PE, I'm based in S/Strand and my newly acquired MTN 3G is pathetically slow vs. what I would have expected via a 3G connection. It shows 3G but when you "connect" it goes to HSPA, I hade EDGE in Knysna and that's like trying to boil a kettle on a candle.
Assistance, advise appreciated, 0831555 is not answered and queries via the website take 5 days to respond and then refer you to 0831555 that they do not answer
Cheers
