has anyone been experiencing this lately?



coverage and signal problems with telkom's wireless home phones are terrible
is there anyone else experiencing this?
in bakerton,springs we have these phones but signal and quality is pathetic
this last week there was no signal, can not receive or make calls?
there must be something we can do?

anyone tried this wireless 3g signal booster antennas?
 
I had problems over the last 2 weeks. There were 2 issues. The one was that the internet through my wireless service was intermittent in that some sites would not load. Telkom had a problem on their side, seems to be fixed.

Second was that the tower close to me went down, did not get a good answer from them. First they indicated that there was a problem, with the tower and then they said they were busy upgrading towers due to 8.ta.

From about a year ago to now I noticed signal strength did drop off. They claim that there are more users on the tower and therefore you would have this. - need an external aerial maybe...
 
eish telkom. we need to try thie external aerial i think
 
ALSO HAVING MAJOR PROBLEM WITH 3G PHONES ON TELKOM

IN MY CASE IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO EVEN HAVE EXTERNAL AERIAL ,FOR 4 MONTHS I WAS HAVING NO PROBLEMS UNTIL THEY STARTED UPGRADING THERE TOWERS AROUND 19TH NOVEMBER.THE SIGNAL KEEPS DIPPING .
 
@ imraan1608: Are you using the Huawei WCDMA fixed line look-a-like service? My buddy is around the corner (Amberfield) and has the same problems!
 
Try switching it to normal GSM (and not 3G) and you may find a big improvement. I did it with my phone and it sorted out the problem.
