Zip. Nada. Nothing. As of 6.00am this morning 155 says there is no resolution in sight.
The only thing that gets through is pings.

Most frustrating.
 
Funny: I am in DBN for the weekend, if i take my sim out of my fone that use the vlive, APN and put it in a fone the use the internet APN it connects, but as soon as i use the vlive APN it times out.
 
my virgin internet is working perfectly.it almost feels like being capped at 64kb/s but we know vodacom buys access not gigs like how they sell it ot us.can someone please keep us updated on the forum.im addicted to online dota and going through bad withdrawals.
 
so my posts are gonna get less coherent as it is now 3pm .does anyone know if mtn is working.thinking of buying data on their network.
 
Vodacom is very quick to debit our accounts at month end but they drag their feets to fix this SERIOUS problem.This problem is now ONE WEEK OLD and they cant give us a time frame when its going to be resolved.

This problem is also affecting voice calls and sms delivery on the Vodacom 3g network in kzn.

ICASA needs to be informed about this

MTN HSDPA works fine. I get 290kbs download speed here. And its peak time now for internet usage! :)
 
sunday 9am still nothing im gonna go buy me an mtn simcard.can anyone tell me the complete cost the do3 package please im looking at my options.
 
R258 + R131 = R389 a month do have do 3. This is the total cost you will pay a month do have adsl.

However I advise you to take closer option one. It gives you a calling plan to. Just more value for money.
 
OK. I've solved my problem and it might apply to others struggling with this.

For whatever reason between Thusday night and Friday morning this throughput problem started for me. I've been using the AVG firewall. What is happening is the AVG firewall is blocking the ICMP (allowing ICMPv6 version only) and the UDP protocols.

Rather than try to manually permit these services in AVG, I've disabled the AVG firewall and enabled the Windows firewall, and it's solved the problem.
 
so you are saying that our firewalls are blocking our internet connection in the whole kzn .i use avast but i turn it off coz it causes lag while playing online so i dout its my firewall.
