I used to get one bar signal on MTN 3G so i went to the MTN site and lodged a complaint regarding poor signal strength. They replied and a Techie contacted me. He came out to my place got me an antennae for 3G even installed it and now my internet is Flying !

Oh forgot to mention it was done at NO cost to me !

Go to the MTN website !

Click on the Coverage link !

Tell Your Story ! Which must make Sense i.e You have to be expierencing Data problems !

Someone will contact you !

Oh and please do post your reply !

It can take about 6 months to get a Tower Commissioned near to you if its a new tower !

Pilgrims Rest - MTN

I know this thread is old but looks like right place to post. I want to know who tyo contact regarding 3G at the tower (on our property) on top of Robbers Pass servicing pilgrims rest etc. This is a high tourist area and should be 3g viable. Want to know if there is something in the pipeline regarding the upgrade from EDGE to 3G ??
 
0.8 Mb/s WITH an antenna? that is mind blowingly.......er.....slow :confused:

Good on MTN for doing for you, for free.
bad for MTN that you showed us how slow MTN is even WITH an external roof antenna :eek:
 
I am not trying to be a troll, but here is my friends vodacom 3g result, http://www.speedtest.net/result/303228144.png:D

What speeds were you getting before you had the antennae installed?

omg 3mb/s schweeet, isnt speed based on location? i get about 1mbit in heidelberg gp

is there a way to optimize the hsdpa modem in a nokia n95 8gb to get more speed? i'm using nokia suite to connect!

why did you get a rating of 2.9 but you have a much higher speed?? err, how does that work?
