Well tonight im on the internet with my virgin sim card and im not having bad speed and im not even roaming on vodacom network.Dont know want's happening but im happy with it.
 
Good for you ;) Then you should be glad. Let's hope it stays that way for the weekend :D
 
Have'nt had this speed for a long time.Hope it's stay this way.
 
I had good speed after 3 this afternoon, but on the dot 5h00 it all went down. I phone 123 and asked the lady what was wrong the past week or so. She told me that its because its the end of the month, and that all the debit orders go through now, and that it's affecting the internet users. She told me that she know it doesn't make sense (she was right), but its true. Oh and I must add that she said that she feel sorry for the inconvenience. It's because they just FEEL, and doesn't DO anything why Virgin is what it is. I always felt sorry for them, but after the past week and a half, I wont hesitate to kick them where it hurts.
 
Thanks for that info,hope virgin get's a wake up with there bad service.
 
I also had a d/l speed boost today, although mine kept going after 5.
 
VM GPRS not too bad at this moment. Pages opens not too slow, but downloads seem to drop connection to download link time to time, then i must resume from my DM. :D

:D:D
 
Here i my Virgin speeds:

Download: Your download speed is: 19.9 KBps, or 159.16 Kbps
Upload: Your upload speed is: 9.19 KBps, or 73.51 Kbps

Infact, Virgins EDGE is behaving in my area for the past month and is defin better than MTNs EDGE....

When on the road, VIRGIN is much slower - suppose im lucky that at home, not many people around me using Virgin
 
My VM GPRS speed at this moment;

Download Speed: 37 kbps (4.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 20 kbps (2.5 KB/sec transfer rate)

:)
 
Last Result:
Download Speed: 128 kbps (16 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 18 kbps (2.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
 
My speed at this very moment is as follows:

First 128K 15062 msecs: Download speed = 8702 Bytes per sec, Approx = 72K bits per sec
Second 128K 11156 msecs: Download speed = 11749 Bytes per sec, Approx = 98K bits per sec
Third 128K 11313 msecs: Download speed = 11586 Bytes per sec, Approx = 96K bits per sec
Fourth 128K 13453 msecs: Download speed = 9743 Bytes per sec, Approx = 81K bits per sec

Am I right if I say this is edge speeds? Do you think it's good edge speed, forget that I'm using virgin, judge the speeds overall. Thanks
