Thank you very much for the quick response I received.
I was phoned by a member of your Technical side this morning who informed me that the problem has been escalated to the Networks side, who will be contacting me soon.
Will keep you in the loop as to any developments.
Thanks again:)

Will be trying again tonight and post another speedtest. Hopefully things will be fine tonight as I need to download a game off the PlayStation Network.
 
Well tonight seems to be much better:D

Maybe everyone is at the soccer and have been told to switch off their cellphones:rolleyes:
This is the fastest connection I have had since the beginning of May.
 
I dunno, my fathers connection was slow last week but now seems to be fine. Seems like the connection is never consistent. Been especially slow during Confed cup games. Could that have an impact?
 
I have just acquired an external antenna, but improvement in signal strength has been marginal. I am next door to Life Fourways hospital, is it possible the coverage here is bad?

Don't know about ur area. But using an external yagi my signal went from -90db to -60 db via my B970 router.(1 to 2 bar improvement)
 
3G

Burgersfort, Limpopo
Can't even take a speedtest!!!:confused: What happened to 3G??? Been like this for the past week. Is there any reason why 3G totally disappeared in this area?
 
Skilpad pace.

I am convinced that the VC network bottlenecks are killing our data throughput.
The d/l speeds are very erratic and unpredictable mostly.
I get great speeds on the Vodacom Test, but Speedtest.net confirms my general surfing experience -slow

But at least this saves one from hitting the selected data cap too soon.:rolleyes:
 
Absolutely Pathetic!!!!

Come on now Vodacom .. when are you gonna get it right????

It's been 2 years of REALLY BAD/UNRELIABLE 3G coverage.
 
Hello. I am in the Muldersdrift area and since the beginning of this month I have been unable to connect to my 3G. Prior to this I have had no hassles. Does anyone know of any difficulties in this area of late. I am with Gogga Connect which I know piggy backs on the Vodacom network. My Slip stream shows 3g although no filled in bars, which makes me thing it cant pick up signal for some reason and just shows "registering" all the time. On the 3g Modem the green slight shines constant while the blue light continually flashes

Sorry V3G, I assumed that I post slow throughput as the thread is titled as such.

So I am just reporting slow throughput with timeouts.
 
Anything through saix has been slow for last 10 days, but saix wont ackknowledge the problems, yet there is many ppl complaining about it on forums. I am having bad latency through iBurst > Vodacom for last 10 days, between 8-12 PM during week, WoW lagging between 600-700, Ventrillo 400-1k, more or less 300ms more than usual. Check iBurst forums for more info.
