Could it be that there are less people using the tower there and so the contention ratios are lower? If that is the case I am moving to one of the small towns in the Kalahari! :)

Wild Coast Sun,Shelly Beach,Margate,Port Shepstone has 3G COVERAGE

Happy holidays
 
Have put 3G on but tower of the name Mpenjati - I'm at Palm Beach - 9 k's from Port Edward, No 3 g unfortunaly . Sanlameer has though but not picking it up very well and the other tower is overunning it - the V800 has not got a 3 g only setting, only a GSM only setting. Good thing I kept some data on my bundle over.
