I think VM should throw in the towel right about now, because their service has gone from bad to worse to worst

I agree. But they'll be in for a big surprise the day when VC or MTN brings out rollover bundles. And if this happens, it will be the final nail in the VM coffin
So VM will be with us for years to come still in other words.
Good to know
Using VM for data is like being in an abusive relationship: you keep going back expecting things to get better until you finally realise that the only solution is a divorce. VM down here, again
Sounds about right.

Lucky you. When I use VC at the moment I'm stuck with oob rates until rollover eventually kicks in

Correction, It is 20:52 here, and VM is DEAD…. R . I . P VM
If you are reading >this< , VM is back online again. For me atleast.
My solution: I ordered ADSL

Why don't you use bundles or don't you use enough data?

I use around 250MB a month at home. We have ADSL and WIFI at work.

I've got my own E220, but I'll enquire about it. The Hyperlink page doesn't seem to mention anything about it.

Get youself a MTN backup bundle for the last mile e.g the 100Mb for R80.00, and pay 80c per meg instead of the VC OOB price.

Found a similar offer from Gamco, including one for people with their own modems.
This looks better for me

Looks good yes:
Quite worth it to have rather gotten this modem at R2099, and to have taken the 6month contract with it. HSDPA 7.2Mbps Modem!!
R99 setup fee + R100*6months = R699
250MB*6months = 1500MB
R0.466 Per MB
But I dont like contracts

I have not even phoned VM yet. Because the problems was usually resolved within a few hours. But not this time though. I think I will give them a call tomorrow maybe. What is grinding my gears at the moment is that I have not seen GTVM or any of the other VM Representatives respond to any of these problems. No quick post just telling us that they think 'the problem lies on Box3E-ISA with the Network cards' or something technical like that that we wont understand anyway. Nothing like that at all. I dont even know if they Know about the current "problems" on 'their' network.
