Bla, Bla, Bla... Yet another press release, (done by a PR Poppie) that is as far removed from the the reality as we are from the moon. - Tx My BB for exposing us to this crap!

Please enlighten me about reality, as I am not in the cell industry, so I do not know better than reading these reports.

But i persnally called the coverage dest to complained about the constant "error in connection" that we were experiencing in my area between 7 and 10pm as from the 24th dec, and they confirmed it was because of network congestion!

Like I said before, I'll say it again, fix the backhaul capabilities and quit robbing your customers already

LOL....xmas and new year are THE busiest times of the year for any network.... I can safely say that ANY network in the world would have network issues over these days.

Were there a million additional users on the network during Xmas ?? I love the way that's used as a benchmark for the networks capability in handling coverage during FIFA 2010

Aggressive expansion = Aggressive backhaul problems

I wish they (MTN & VC) would focus on improving the 3G signal in the spots where the coverage is patchy. I live off a main road and the 3G comes and goes. Wish it was constant 3G. Would be happy with that. Not even thinking about HSDPA and HSPA.

Thank goodness for ADSL.
