No luck on my side. Network still dropping away from time to time ... when I am connected it is hellishly unsteady - the connection speed varies all the time.

Speedtest results are disappointing - to say the least
 
Hi Guys

Since i'm normally the first to b1tch and moan about connectivity I feel it is the right thing to do to also let you guys know how much better my connectivity has been this week.

Limited disconnects and timeouts, above average (my average) download and upload speeds.

Was connected for 7+ hours yesterday (No disconnects whatsoever).

So thank you to all the experts involved in getting this fixed.

I'm definately starting to like Vodacom's 3G again....

Cheers peeps

Have you not yet learned that everytime you post a positive experience it breaks again? :)

Was this at home or at work, btw?

Last night, I connected 1st time and the link remained active for 15 minutes (then I disconnected). Maybe the problem is solved?

Nope... Still a problem - I contacted customer care again...

Took about 40 attempts before I could connect last night. What is strange is that I could connect from my cellphones browser when I couldn't via the PC?

Any ideas why?
 
3 disconnects since 8am (3 in an hour and 15 minutes).

The voda representative that was meant to come run some tests last week Tuesday did not arrive.

I'm getting from full bars to no bars on my new contract phone. Logged a call last week Thursday with 111. They said they would send someone out to the tower to check. Got the usual sms to say the problem has been sorted, but they not.

REALLY frustrating
 
No throughput last night from 22h00 till 01h30

Hi V3G

Have you heard anything about this? I phoned 155 and they said that there were problems but the lady could not give any details.
Aparantly not just Cape Town.

No throughput on 3G or GPRS/EDGE.

Vodacom really made me panic last night. I was on standby and as murhpy's law has it, i got called out and could not connect to our office due to Vodacom 3G unavailable ... only managed to connect at 01h30 this morning ...

Cheers
 
Last night was an interesting Vodacom night. It would appear the Prepaid "part of the network" died ... tried my contract sim and it worked fine. I couldn't even get through to 111 or 155 on contract or prepaid
