Mtn 3g/hsdpa. Where?!?!?!?!

VC has more subscribers, therefore more resources.

Really?

Look at all the Telkom Subscribers. Telkom definately doesn't have more resources. Or maybe they have but they don't know how to use it.

I'm sorry. This logic is just plain daft.
If anything, with MORE subscribers, it puts MORE strain on the infrastructure, i.e. MORE congestion / usage = less to go around.

I am pretty happy with my 3G / HSDPA. I am getting good speeds. I almost want to say peaking at 500kbps during busy times, albeit not consistently high.
I am getting good signal and speeds where Vodacom's 3G / HSDPA didn't even work properly or it was very unreliable.

I dont really care much for speed, as long as it is reliable and not the same speed as GPRS / EDGE (cause what would the point be???).

More subscribers = more income = more profit (if a good strategist is in the hot seat - let's call him Alan Knott Craig ) = more money to expand infrastructure. Now does this logic make sense to you Lildeath?

Indeed MTN needs to get their towers updated a bit quicker

 

[AirWolf]

Maybe I misread the group name for this forum: doesn't it say "Other Broadband Services"?

The reason I am confused is because I'm getting 5kB/s (>= -51 dBm) on GPRS, and 10KB/s (-101 dBm) on HSDPA Information super highway here I come

I tried again Tuesday evening to use my Data Card at home. 3G/HSDPA speeds was so bad that I had to try GPRS/EDGE. That wasn't good either.

Can't stand it anymore.

I couldn't connect at all last night and had to switch to VM Some people might be regretting voting no for VC data rollover

We should create a website called MTNconnectionSuck.co.za

I'm in Cape Town city centre..I only get 3G.
For the first time in almost a year, I understood what HSDPA was like.
I had to go outside of tonw to Tableview to get this.

why do we not have HSDPA in the Athlone Area?
