MTN deterioration

[maumau]

How's your data throughput these days fellow myBBers?

Mine's becoming more and more hopeless. The best was when MTN went down entirely during that massive power failure. If ever there was a time we needed mobile communication it was then, but no, MTN disappears off the radar.

Thankfully all my data devices are prepaid so i can change at will but cellC and 8ta are also bad in my area. I guess a prepaid vodacom SIM's in order.

Funny thing is, MTN data was fantastic until a few weeks back.

It started a while back for me, maybe about 4 months or so.. Actually I now cancelled the Afrihost MTN product, 'cos I'm sick and tired of jumping between Edge and 3G. Sadly I have to say Vodacom is the best ATM for me.. expensive, but works 100%.

The deterioration is bound to happen now that LTE is being implemented. Essentially what is happening is that the 1800MhZ frequency is being taken away from voice in order to accommodate for LTE, you can thank Dina Pule for that. Fair enough, 3G is 2100MhZ, but since 1800 is gone, what do we have to fall back on? You guessed it. From what I hear, we are in talks for more bandwidth, so this wont always be the case.
