Vodacom explains 3G/HSDPA problems

sounds just like the sp3 problem: get up-graded and it won't automatically DNS had Telkom running around for weeks
 
I have downloaded VMCLite version 3 in the past, but it didn't seem to work as well as version 2 that came pre-loaded on the e220.

But I will go with the suggestion and try this again. Should I copy the downloaded version 3 files onto the e220 so that it auto starts like it does with version 2?
 
Two people I know was effected by this issue.
Their APN was set to auto, after changing it to manual and adding APN name - internet the issue was resolved.
 
so i am running vmc 9.3 and about 75% of the sites I try just sit there for ages saying loading, but ever do. including some biggies like webmasterworld, imdb, not google though, g works fine. I thought it would have resolved when I got up this am, but no.

i also noticed that on Vista, Tcp/ip or rather Ipv6 automatically gets unticked resulting erro 720 via dial up and 619 via vmc2 dashboard.Question is: how is it possible for a 3G connection can change my machine's tcp?:mad:

What he's asking is: How are people supposed to download the latest VMC Lite when they can't connect to the internet using their 3G modem?

And the answer would of course be: Rather use MTN because they don't stuff things up this badly.

No, the answer is to actually read the articles. :rolleyes:

Not only was a setting change given to allow the old version to work, but the original problem was actually resolved so you can connect without any changes.
 
VMC-lite se voet. You don't need Vodacom's connection software to browse. Trust me - been doing it that way since I got my e220 last year.

On Windows, just plug it in, have it install the device drivers and manually add it as a dialup modem. On Linux, use wvdial/kppp/whatever dialup software your distro uses.

My dad uses his e220 with his xandros netbook, and on there, it's literally plug and play, zero software required. Neither of us have been having any severe troubles - just the odd 30-min gap of unconnectedness.

Yes, Vodacom, the software is a problem - the fact that you claim we need any software at all.
 
it's so slow - installs slow, starts slow, performs slow, and uninstalls slow.

I have no idea why it is so big, and has so many files when it could be 1 single small EXE, like the other connection utils.

I don't get it, it's just a frontend ?

plus it's buggy....very buggy.
 
Then why not do it the way Wogan is doing it. No programs installed, just a dial-up connection, if you know how to.

The VMC or any software for that matter is for people who DON'T know how to setup a dial-up connection.

Remember back in the day of 56K dialup modems...people had to phone or request the settings from their ISPs.
 
none of the ways want to connect, not manual setup or mdma (also newest version) or Mobile connect.

it picks up the tower, 4 or 5 bars - but when trying to connect it's as-if the tower isn't even there!

V3 has been out for quite a long time and we actually zero-rated the Vodacom download section so people can upgrade without incurring data costs a while ago.

How can we get more of this?

:D lol, you see tohir, it's difficult for an Internet provider to understand the concept of a freebie. they won't provide anything other than drivers.....

even talking points that get rewarded to us for being loyal to the network, helping them rake in billions, needs to expire and be taken away from you. all it really is, is actually like 5MB's of SMS bandwidth which cost them next to nothing! ....and currently your 3G SIM's points are useless too.

there are no freebies tohir, even if we are actually paying for our own "freebies" through our noses. You get drivers, klaar - don't hope for anything more.
