I've got a bold 9700 which I've upgraded to os 6 a while ago. However recently I've been getting extremely slow download speeds like on average 10kbs while normally I would get around 80kbs. Anybody else also experiencing this or can give reasons why this is happening? Thanks!
 
I am using a Bold 9780. Their network seems to be getting worse. I am not picking up 3G much now days mostly EDGE and that could be the problem. If I force the mobile network onto 3G then certain parts of my office like even 5 to 7m down I loose network completely. Also forcing onto 3G only kills my battery by like 4pm. In my apartment if I am in my bedroom I get EDGE but if I step out into the lounge which is almost next to my room, I get 3G. I have tested a old iphone 3G with Vodacom and in most areas I am picking up 3G where my Blackberry on MTN only picks up EDGE. When I am on 3G some times and places seem to be quicker than others. I hope MTN looks into this, there is surely some sort of issue with their network.
 
MTN's network is clearly deteriorating then. I gave them a call and according to them the network may just be a bit slow but they aren't aware of any major issues?? Yeah right!
 
Don't know if this is just an excuse to myself or imagination but 8ta is piggy backing on them and I noticed this ever since then. What does everyone else feel?
 
I was in Sandton City on Saturday and my download speeds were 215+ KB/S. This is on 3G.
At home it's bet 10-15KB/S sometimes even below 10.No 3G at all :-(
BTW i'm on MTN as well.
 
I've just about given up on MTN BIS. To me it feels like an abandoned network.
