No Data connection but full signal

I have the exact same problem with my Cell C modem/s and MyGig 200 data bundle. Full signal strength but DEAD slow. Thanks for nothing Cell C. It doesn't help much if it only gets fast late at night, and even then it is intermittent.
 
I'm wondering, are all of us on Giga 200 that's having the problem? Or do some of you have other packages?
 
No data signal in Midrand aswell... Last week I tried to report this via there website but could not find any place to report the data issue.
 
I get the following on my Cell C prepaid sim when opening my browser:

Data connectivity problem - The server failed to communicate. Try again later.

This happens in Goodwood & Rondebosch.
 
Full H+ signal but no connection, have to switch back to Edge but sometimes that too doesn't work like last night. It's starting to be as useless as my MTN 3G data bundle contract on my Ipad, which is available for not more than half the month although they get paid the full amount monthly. I'm relatively new on CellC having ported from Vodacom as a result of the high prices. It's starting to feel like one has left a fuel guzzler that always runs for a low fuel consumption model that rarely starts. In Pretoria.

So how long are the upgrades for the 'localised congestion' going to take? Because I've had this problem for months in sandton cbd.
 
Same frustrating problem here in Phoenix, North of Durban. I'm on the giga 200 package. Excellent signal strength, Full H+, but really poor internet or a lack of it. I'm still awaiting positive feedback. I've never been this annoyed in my life.

Hi Cell_C, I sent you my details about two weeks ago and have since asked for feedback but you are ignoring my messages. :(
