Vodacom Coverage area

Vodacom is talking about 4G and 5G speed.
What a joke, Living in the northern Free State in a town called Parys and working in Sasolburg I hardly get 1 stripe on my mobile reception and very seldom get 4 stripes for full reception, location dependent..
They can go to 10G and I will still have a possible 1 stripe for reception and to many times to mention no internet connection at all...

I spoke to a internet provider there, and I think he said that Parys got no fiber. I would think for all your towns visitors, they will have to go big on there network.

I am in Sasolburg also, and have been there for almost 35 years now. I definitely share your pain. I am sitting in my office in the Sasol factory, and I am siting on 2 bars 3G signal. During the day I often have no signal at all. The same goes when I am at home, I sometimes am lucky if I get an Edge signal. My wife is on MTN and we were struggling as well with their signal. I contacted them, they came out and investigated and installed a signal booster in our home without any costs to us. I am seriously considering ditching Vodacom just because of the bad signal I am getting. I have contacted Vodacom regarding the poor signal, but nothing came of that.
