I can't get anything now - get a connection and then get a timeout on a couple of local and international sites...

Any feedback 3g ?

I also couldn't connect about an hour ago... now at work (CBD) using reliable connectivity.

When I last connected, DNS resolution was inoperative.

Let me know when there's an improvement and I'll test from work.

Connected quickly and seem to be holding.

Ok, they must have done something. I can connect now. Let's hope it holds.
EDIT: Connected for 20 mins. I disconnected manually myself, rather use my work's connection.

 

[stix]

Agreed AJAX - been up and hour or so now !

 

[zoot]

Same problem, this time in the CBD. Connected quickly, but dropped after 3 minutes.

v3g, what's the status regarding resolution of this? I'm also interested in the cause.

Hmmm.... after reconnecting, so far (15 min) the link has been stable. Will check again later this eve.

I am not sure where to post this but my boyfriends friend is on voadacom pay as u go and has has major problems with his GPRS. Cant even receive mms. He has not been able to connect to mxit at all for a week now. What is going on? It is rediculous

 

[vodacom3g]

Won't you confirm that all's ok now?

Hi 3g

Today has not been a good one - unless i am sending a request for data - the connections been dropping. This morning was a shocker - this afternoon has been a bit better

Cheers

@17:30 in Fish Hoek I have to run a continuous ping/stayalive otherwise I lose the connection within a few minutes.

Started failing again around lunchtime today.

What is going on with Vodacom? I am so glad thT I am no longer with them. I have a oppay as you go contract with MTN and am so much happier. I get a much better customers service with them too
