and that, my friend, is the reason i will not pay extra for any additional speed, because u will never get the promised speeds, and alas, no refund either.

Nelspruit.
General drop in throuput and increased latency as of 5 May.
I still jokingly said it had something to do with being released from Telkom.
Only reason why I remember.
PS: Thx for fixing DNS probs.
Did you get your antenna?

Have you run the 3 tests I asked about?
Slightly better tonight....but still.

VC test: 1819 down / 1175 up.
When I was at work in Pretoria this afternoon I was getting over 3000 down / over 1000 up on speedtest.

DNS?
Yes I did, Thanks for that...
Now the original problem of the antenna faces me... where to put it. Didnt think they would bring me half a car-size one lol.
Anyway, so far signal improves only very slightly, but original problem still persists. Will feedback more proper when mounted and tested proper.
Any chance you can send me (PM maybe or email?) a layout or map of the sites in my area? I have 3-4 towers my modem switches to but will help if i know better where to aim.
Back on point.
As another user noted, today at noon, DNS was completely dead.
Zero DNS done, not even on-net (vodacom.co.za and 4me.co.za).

Best is to ask the local guys that gave you the antenna. They'll know where their towers are. Do you have their contact details?

Can anyone confirm if they still see DNS problems and/or how long the DNS issues around noon lasted?

Tried to log on this morning between 7:30am and 8am. In Fourways.
I could not connect on GPRS or 3G. Tried restarting the PC, and disconnecting and reconnecting the modem. And re-inserting the SIM card. Nothing.
I was getting 4 bars of signal on both GPRS and 3G, just could not connect at all.
I'm at work now, in PTA, and I'm connecting fine. Must be a problem with the towers in Fourways.

Vodacom was down this morning on GPRS, 3G and HSDPA, got this from 155. Came back on just after 9.
I honestly have to say I dont know how long it lasted.
When i got back home from the movies it was 3PM and was working again.
Sorry, havent had much time, lots of workies in my bin.
As for the local guys, yes I have the guy's number that brought the antenna. Will give a call soon as I can.

International sites not loading
is there a problem with international sites today.
My self and my Partner are in different areas of PE, and we both have trouble accessing international sites.
The receiving server will a, give us a internal server error. undefined but could be related to time out.
or the site will just be blank, even though the browser says its finished loading.
any ideas.

Problems with Vodacom From last week
Anyone else having severe problems with Vodacom HSDPA since about last week ? I used to be able to play games using HSDPA for months and now suddenly I am lagging out ?
