*READ FIRST* Vodacom Problems: Slow Throughput, Trying to Connect, DNS, High Latency

3 days later & still no solution? It takes Vodacoms system about 5 full minutes to kick out a reference number too? Something big / bad happening with them? Seems like it.

Even with a 2 km radius from my office its screwed. Even Chilli Lane area had good signal for HSDPA, now its non-existent.

Can't understand why it would have just so drastically from Tuesday. If this is the case they need to cancel data contracts for free. You can't pay for something you are not able to use.
 
In Rosebank JHB CBD. Cannot connect at all with my phone. Crawling with my huwai modem (two different vodacom accounts). Is anybody looking at this or do we just speak into the void here?
 
Had slow speeds the past few days, and simply couldn't connect for around 1.5hours tonight, i am so sick of VodaCom its not even funny, they simply arent delivering lately.

Im in Jhb, Fourways, Dainfern area, friends in Douglasdale and Sandton are reporting issues to, its not only BlackBerrys having these issues.

Yesterday had internet problems connecting from 8am-11am. Phoned them and they sorted it out. Today the exact same problem. Extremely fustrating! ItS not only only me as the 8IS also had problems. Im another customer moving over when my contract ends.
Im in the Cape Town area northern suburbs
 
Please check your East London Towers. The signal is so, so poor, from EDGE to 3G. Doesn't matter if its In town or out. I have 2 phones with the same problem, I can hardly ever browse. And my friends are also having problems in E.L...
 
I've spoken to Vodacom - they confirm there is a general issue at the moment. No other details given. It seems to be certain areas or subscribers as my Vodacom number is working fine.

Just to make it clear - this doesn't only affect mobile/data customers - General problem with phones etc too.
 
Cannot connect to internet here in Heidelberg :mad:

Luckily I have some sim cards from other service providers.

It is just frustrating !!!!!!!!!
 
In PTAcould for the whole morning not dial or receive calls, now I can at least dial out but still can not receive calls...Is this my phone or Vopdacom?
 
All the networks have the same problem now - they're in a price war & selling like mad without providing the infrastructure to support it. You should try Cell C!!
