Did the whoosh expire on the 31st of December 2010?

My whoosh definately is gone. I know I had a lot of bad connection days in the past
but today it's just gone. I got like 1MB in 15 minutes.

This is getting really frustrating.

i dont have any woosh. all i have is an overpriced, underperforming data bundle with a competitor who''s CEO is probably spending New Years on his private yacht while im trying to work over his supposed 4.2 Mbit air interface. i hate this world man.

The call center agent said they don't have any network issues at the moment, but he did log a fault report so now just have to wait I suppose :(

my woosh gone too :/
I was connected till 5AM this morning fine - shutdown - but ever since my new bundle kicked in - nada
I am getting cyan/blue lights - with the (lying) signal indicator saying 90% +

Just noticed that alot of the ppl having issues are from the western cape

I am also connected with a signal strength of over 90% and it is connected on HSPA+, just most sites timeout and there is almost no throughput.

It was fine early this morning.

I am out near somerset west - and i am assuming the others are nearer cape town - so I am assuming the problem (if there is one) is a tad more wide spread than 1 overloaded tower.

Me on a farm - so dont think their could be that much contention issues here

I am in Somerset West and have also been getting terrible speeds since the cap reset this morning (slower than 200kbps compared to over 2Mbps before). Can someone from Cell C please confirm whether there are issues with the network?

I've just checked my connection again to make sure.

RSSI: -79dBm
Connection Strengh on HSPA: 99%

So it is definately a problem on Cell-C's side. FIX IT!!!!!!!

1.8MB upload and 1.5MB Download for the whole day is rediculous. If I carry on like this then I will loose 1.8GB of data at the end of the month.

My father in Somerset West also complained about no 'woooosh' today, :mad:

Even simple webpages like this one are taking forever to load or aren't loading at all.

Just downloaded a 100MB file and getting speeds of ~130kB/s though(still much slower than normal though).

Let me rather use my Blackberry from MTN. I always have whoosh with my BB when I need it.

I didn't thought that my new year will start this way with Cell-C. If anyone from Cell-C can just send me a PM so I can see that they are working on the problem it would be great.

I'm in Randpark Ridge and have issues most the day too

HSPA+ ... 99% signal ... -73db

Modem stays connected, but massive packet loss and no throughput.

I've also got someone coming tomorrow to check this speed I've bragged about ;) Hoping its sorted by 10am tomorrow
