Need some help / terrible service

Ok well I downloaded the new software and it now connects.

But every few mins after connecting the manager and mdma still say the modem is connected but when I try visit a webpage or anything it doesnt work at all, and i have to close the manager and reconnect?

Have you tried both cell c and roaming on vodacom? One of the two hopefully should be stable and give more speed on EDGE.
 
Gonna try the roaming on vodacom but I don't expect much to change :/

edit: ok connected to Vodacom 2G and it seems a lot better, cant connect to Vodacom 3G tho?

Thanks for all the help :)

Cell C doesn't have a roaming agreement with Vodacom on their 3G network, only on the 2G network.
 
Aww, well 2G isn't so bad for work. Guy who phoned said at the end of the year they will be seeing where else they will be rolling out the 3G networks, so thumbs up in hope its here :)

Ok, well on the 21 July I ordered the Cell C 5GBpm modem special.

Only Today the 5th August I received the modem after waiting for weeks.

So I plug it into my computer and install the software (Windows 7 64 bit).
Whenever I press the connect button my computer blue screens and restarts (downloaded 64 bit drivers too), if I don't press connect sometimes it automatically connects. On the site coverage map it says I have 3G speeds (I stay in Grahamstown), I can only access 2G(EDGE). When I do manage to get it connected the speed varies and barely works... When I try disconnect after it automatically connects it gives an error message saying "no data connection". I don't know whats wrong with it. My signal strength is at -57dbi. So I phoned tech support and after about an hour on the phone with them nothing really changes, speed is slow, barely works, always disconnects and is not 3G :(

What can I do?

Any help please cause I need it for my studies and to submit assignments.
